The new leather keyring by Alexander McQueen is a great way to incorporate the [skeletal aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faberge-x-beetlejuice-beetlejuice) into a luxury item. McQueen is not a design label that has shied away from skulls – in the past the house has released a luxurious pair of sky-high peep-toe platform heels adorned with a gold and crystal skull. The brand's website boasts many skeletal addictions – from cufflinks to ties to belts.

This leather keyring is a perfect and subtle way to get in on the [skeletal trend](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bell-ross-br03-skeleton) without being overbearing. Made in Italy, the metallic gold keyring is embossed with fine leather. If you’re looking for a way to add some skeletal flair into your wardrobe, this sophisticated and finely crafted leather keyring would be a perfect fit.
