SHOP: Designer Drawstring Bags
1. Chanel 22
The Chanel 22 was created by former Chanel creative director Virginie Viard and was named after its year of creation in 2022. Made from extremely supple yet durable quilted leather, the charm of this chic slouchy bag lies in its simple and comfortable design. Designed as a lightweight tote, it features a removable pouch, a metal drawstring closure, and a magnetic button. Adorned with a stylish gold or lacquered Chanel logo, its standout feature is its spacious interior, perfect for effortlessly carrying all of your daily essentials.

2. Loewe Squeeze
The Loewe Squeeze, unveiled at the Fall/Winter 2023 showcase, is a hobo-style pouch featuring a ruched exterior and a donut-chain strap. Its name comes from the squishy soft handle that provides the wearer with a comfortable grip. The unique donut-chain strap, which has been featured in almost all of Loewe’s bags lately, is adjustable and allows for versatile wearing options—crossbody, shoulder, or handheld. At the end of the chain is a pebble bearing Loewe's anagram. Despite its soft appearance, the Squeeze stands on its own with bottom piping. The drawstring-like strap securely cinches the bag's opening, ensuring items are safely held within its delicate nappa leather construction.

Inspired by the elegant knots of a Flamenco skirt, its design captures a seamless, minimalist essence that is both timeless and contemporary.

Crafted from soft Italian tumbled leather, the Flores Bag features a floral-inspired design with a two-sided drawstring closure, creating a petal effect.

To maintain its condition, occasionally treat with leather conditioner, avoid abrasive surfaces, and store it in its dust bag when not in use.
