About the The Legend Bag

Launched around 2016-2017, The Legend was a boxy, chain-strap shoulder bag closed with a distinctive amulet-style metal clasp, designed as a more accessible entry point into McQueen's leather goods line at the height of the brand's push into ready-to-wear accessories. It was heavily featured in ad campaigns of that period and sold in multiple sizes and leathers before being discontinued a few years later as the accessories lineup was refreshed.
