A photo from last year on a rare date night with hubby (we have a baby so it’s been hard because I’m so attached!). I’m wearing my 2009 red lambskin East West pochette flap with the chain shortened. I have the East West flap in three different colors and I almost always wear them with the chain shortened like a wristlet (see photo). I love how I can loop it around my wrist so it’s out of the way and I find the shortened strap makes the longer shape look gorgeous and is similar to the Hermes longue pochette! That’s where I got the idea actually, as the Hermes longue pochette is long and skinny and has a tiny handle at the top. I hope this inspires others in the forum to use this little discontinued gem if you have it at home. I love how much it holds since it’s a single flap and the adjustable chain means I can wear it on the shoulder when a few too many drinks kick in lol

Chanel East West in 2006 purple caviar.

This line is discontinued. The east west is a versatile classic flap. You could use it as a clutch or lengthen / shorten the strap according to my needs. And you could put loads inside this bag.

Love all three of my East West flaps! Have you worn it like a wristlet? I posted a photo on page 1803

What a great post! A fabulous picture, using a golden oldie bag with advice and a prompt for others to use theirs too. Hope you get the opportunity for more date nights soon!

Thank you so much! The shape of the East West can look a little dated but shortening the straps makes it look chic and modern (to me at least)
