The timeless allure of the East-West bag has shifted the fashion realm since 2024. This year, the elongated-shaped bag is emerging as the desirable silhouette to own. Dating back to the ‘50s, East-West bags resemble another iconic silhouette: the elegance of the ‘90s baguette bags. However, they are only differentiated by their thin, long straps.
Fashion mavens may associate the East-West bags with the likes of Alaïa, Prada, Freja, Coach and more. However, you will be surprised that this season will shed light on this trend through many iterations. Whether it’s designed in sleek leather or unique detailing and fabrications like pleatings or suede, you’re destined to find one that caters to your style. The best part? It’s the perfect everyday bag–refined and practical.
