East-west bags, better known as the baguette's cooler aunt, have become an IT accessory lately that there is no way your bagwati rack is not already nudging you to get one. Bridging the gap between boujee and badass, east-west bags have secured a sweet spot right in the heart of both. It looks like your uptight friend with a sleek ponytail wearing cherry red pumps, basically the refined one that is away from all the fuss. And who wouldn't like such a stretched-out, structured bag with long straps like that? I would and I'd highly recommend you should too. 

Designers have long known the charm of these beauties. Think Prada's bonnie leather handbag or Freja's Mercer bag. Even celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid have hopped onto it, but since snagging the OGs might burn a hole in your wallet, I’ve done the legwork for you and rounded up the 10 best east-west bags that are not just stunning but keep getting better as you scroll!
