i don't own one...but i see no one has responded yet so i'll throw my 2 cents in. It can prob. be worn as both. but as far as wearing it with and evening gown or something i don't think it would look right.

I've been carrying my red east west these past few days because its so LIGHT and easy to carry. Im 9 mos pregnant and really can't carry any more weight at this point. The E/W has been FABULOUS for me. It carries my essentials without weighing me down. Its very versatile. Another nice thing is it doesnt feel like Im carrying a "pochette" or anything. It still looks like a GREAT BAG.

It can definitely work as a casual bag! I have some pics in the reference library (I think?) of my purple e/w being worn with jeans and a casual top, looks fine to me!

I think it's the perfect shopping bag... very light so you can do a shopping marathon (which, personally, I think would be hard to impossible with the GST, or else I'm just a weakling!). It has room for the essentials and it's compact enough so that it's never in your way. I think it's a great daytime bag, especially in caviar just because it seems to me like a more casual material than say, lambskin.

I think it looks great for evening and for day. Depends on what you're wearing for evening though. A clutch would be better for something glitzy.

I think you can dress it up to be an evening bag and dress down for a casual day outing. It depends on your outfit and accessories. The E/W is versatile.

Only some of them are, I believe. Mine isn't (wish it were!).

The chain isn't detachable, it's adjustable by detaching ONE end. I suppose you could detach that end and hide the rest of the chain inside the purse.

You can dress the classic up or down. I wear mine with jeans, and casual wear, probably more than I do at night.
