Does anyone else remember the ubiquity of the drawstring bag at the end of the 80s? They ran the gamut from the chic Chanel version to a woven cloth version that neo-hippie chicks carried. Well, Alexander Wang has updated the style in his Diego bucket in a way that walks the line between preppy and edgy.
The textured leather that Wang has been using this season is amazing. It looks almost like crocodile, but is soft and weather. The medium brown color gives the Diego a casual air and makes it extremely versatile. The gold hardware keeps the bag looking classy instead of cowboy-ish.
The slouchy bucket shape is perfect for the kind of woman that likes to carry a lot of random stuff in her bag, but still wants the structure of a flat bottom. The drawstring top fastens with a buckled strap that makes the bag a little edgy. The combination of a short shoulder strap with a longer strap means you can carry this bag across the body, a strong trend this season.
Wang’s bags usually run in the $800 range, and at $825, the Diego is no exception. This makes it accessible to working women looking to splurge and basically a steal for upper class fashionistas. Expect to see the Diego soon on an arm near you.
