Alexander Wang’s latest bags all have a trunk-inspired shape. I don’t know where the idea came from, but the results are gorgeous. This Emile ostrich skin bag is gorgeously exotic, but totally wearable.
I’m a big fan of the ostrich effect on this leather. It has a naturally textured surface that is immediately recognizable and is both supple and durable. It really works on the Emile because it holds the structured shape well, but softly.
The hexagonal shape of the Emile is really unique. The wide frame opening looks great and makes it easy to open the bag entirely, which makes getting to your stuff very easy. You can also see the contents of your bag from the top, which is great on a largish bag. The Emile is mostly minimalist, but has great details like the corner plates that add to the look and the practicality.
At $1,045, the Emile is a bit pricier than some of Wang’s bags, but well worth it for its beautiful material, timeless design, and generous size.
