East-West Bags Trend 2025

East-West handbags have solidified their place in fashion, known for their elongated, horizontal design that echoes back to the 1950s. Luxury brands such as Alaïa and Prada have championed this style, making it a staple across high-fashion runways and everyday street style. These bags come in various materials, and colours have expanded beyond traditional black to include vibrant hues like mint green and burgundy.

The East-West bag’s appeal lies in its sleek, easy-to-carry option that fits well over bulkier clothing. Celebrity endorsements from figures like Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner have further propelled its popularity, ensuring its presence in the  luxury market and more accessible high-street versions. This trend’s persistence in Spring/Summer 2025 collections underscores its relevance in fashion.
