East West Bags – The Trend with Horizontal Format
Fashionable silhouettes love to break with the familiar. With East West bags, everything revolves around the horizontal: these bags are deliberately wider than they are tall. The striking horizontal format specifically directs the focus onto the geometry of your outfit. If you want to counter the dominance of classically cut handbags with something dynamic and trendsetting, this shape is the perfect choice for you.
Widescreen Format: Satchels, Shoppers, and Tote Bags
Well-known international brands use the elongated lines for entirely different bag styles. GUESS and Liebeskind Berlin primarily showcase the horizontal format in the form of elegant satchels. While GUESS relies on firm, structured shapes and striking brand details, Liebeskind Berlin focuses on soft genuine leather with character.
If your everyday life demands generous storage space, the wide-cut shoppers from FredsBruder and the character-rich tote bags from Burkely offer the ideal combination of volume and the modern East-West shape. Thanks to well-thought-out strap concepts, the models can be worn tucked closely as shoulder bags or carried as top-handle bags.
Why Choose the Horizontal Format?
Alongside the aesthetic component, the East West bag scores points with an unbeatable practical advantage: no more endless rummaging in deep, dark bag graves! Thanks to the wide opening and shallower depth, the entire contents are immediately and clearly laid out in front of you.
Optical styling effect: Due to the emphasized horizontal line, these bags harmonize fantastically with long coats, oversized blazers, or wide-leg trousers. They clean-cut interrupt vertical lines and bring a harmonious balance to your look.
