Vintage style drawstring bags are our latest obsession

After seasons of shoulder-cramping carryalls and east-west totes, the drawstring bag returns as an intentional step back. No structure, no bulk, and no overpacking. Once a wardrobe staple before women’s fashion sported pockets, these bags are reimagined with tourist-shop irreverence at Loewe, and fashioned like wearable embroidery at Valentino. For those with It bag fatigue, this one is worth holding on to.
