If you’re looking to add a sleek, versatile bag to your collection, consider the east-west bag. This style is seeing a resurgence due to its practical and stylish appeal.
The minimalistic ’90s design offers an elongated shape, providing ample space for daily essentials. Celebrities like Naomi Watts have embraced this trend, sporting the bag in New York City while promoting her show, All’s Fair. Anne Hathaway also showcased a similar shoulder bag during her Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour.
Inspired by these looks, Quince offers comparable styles at affordable prices.
Sleek Leather Style
Quince features a leather bag that mirrors Watts’ choice. This bag adds elegance to fall and winter outfits, crafted from leather with a cotton-polyester blend interior to safeguard belongings. Its smart design includes three compartments and two side slip pockets, maximizing space.

For a fall-friendly option, consider Quince’s suede shoulder bag. Available in chocolate, whiskey, and pebble hues, it pairs well with various outfits. The small strap at the top holds handles together, easing daily wear.
Sleek Work Satchel
For those needing more space, Quince offers a work satchel with two side compartments and a zippered section designed to fit a 13-inch laptop. A customer praised the gold hardware, noting it resembles a high-end $500 piece.
Rounded Leather Design
New at Quince is a rounded leather design, echoing the style favored by Hathaway and Watts. It has a zippered interior pocket and a snap-closure pocket for easy access.
