Alexander McQueen Thriller Faithful Glove Clutch, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Carry this handbag and pay tribute to both the late Alexander McQueen and his inspiration for this piece: the iconic Michael Jackson. McQueen's Thriller Faithful Glove Clutch is a black whipsnake design clutch that features two angled zipper pockets and a white fingerless glove embellished with white Swarovski crystals on the front. The glove is attached to the bag with a snap and is (presumably) removable. The interior is fully lined in purple/plum with one inside zipper pocket and has a snap closure. Certainly an accessory meant to start a conversation. $1,920

Just as his (kinda) new single is released, word comes that Michael Jackson's famous illuminating glove has sold for $70,800, right in line with what it was expected to go for. Jackson wore the glove during the 1984 Victory Tour, 25 years ago. Hard to believe, no?

At the same auction of entertainment memorabilia from Profiles In History, a bidder paid $106,200 for a Martin D-28 guitar played by Elvis Presley during his final Las Vegas performance; a bullwhip swung by Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade went for $56,050; and full-scale Velociraptor model from Jurassic Park brought in $76,700.

Michael Jackson Glove Heads To Auction

The coming months and years will likely see a flood of Michael Jackson memorabilia. Some will be common or have only a tangential relationship to the superstar. Others that have a direct connection to Jackson's iconography will be more valuable. Michael Jackson wore many gloves while performing and so they will be of varying prices but one of only two Michael Jackson electric-white gloves used during the 1984 Victory Tour is likely to fetch a high price when Profiles in History auctions it off in October.

The glove was consigned by its designer Ted Shell who went on the Victory Tour to protect and maintain the glove which is covered with bugle beads, Austrian crystal rhinestones and fitted with 50 small lights which were powered by a nine-volt battery in the cuff. After the tour Jackson gave Shell one of the gloves and kept the other. Joseph Maddalena of Profiles in History estimated the value at $60,000 to $80,000, but it could sell for much more. The glove is one of many Jackson items that will go up for sale at the auction on October 1 and 2, 2009. Other items include costumes, a platinum record for the 20 millionth copy of "Thriller" and one of his fedoras, another of Jackson's signature accessories.

Argument Chair

Next time you order up a big fight on Pay-Per-View wouldn't it be nice to keep with the theme and sit back to watch it in a chair made of boxing gloves? My first reaction to the Argument Chair was to laugh, and my second reaction was "wow, that actually looks really comfortable." It would make a great conversation piece and bring a bright shot of color to the right room.

It's made of real leather Everlast boxing gloves on nickel plated hardened steel and is hand-crafted in limited edition. It features locking casters on the rear legs and adjustable front legs for stability on uneven surfaces. $5895
