is the e/w classic flap more of an eveing bag?

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.
 
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.
