Dries Van Noten Bags: The Guide to Every Shape, From East-West to Scarf Bag

A Dries Van Noten bag is a surface first and a shape second. The shapes are few: the East-West shoulder bag, wide and shallow with adjustable straps; the resin-handled bag in micro, small and medium with a detachable strap; the envelope and the pleated bags/clutch-bags/" class="cvx-al cvx-al--category">clutch; the flat scarf bag in three sizes. The surfaces are the point: floral chenille gobelin, Floral Tapestry jacquard, embroidered satin and nylon, sequin clusters, pleated smooth leather, velvet with a moiré effect, printed viscose. The embroidered and gobelin bags state Made in India, the leather ones Italy. Coveti carries 32 bags across 25 styles, $960 to $3,780, and this guide sorts them by shape.

The East-West bags

The Embroidered East-West bag in Sky in lightweight gobelin with clustered gold sequins is the bag of the season; the floral East-West in chenille gobelin and the jacquard East-West in Floral Tapestry are its plainer sisters. Wide, shallow, on adjustable shoulder straps, and made in India.

The resin-handled bags

The Micro leather bag in Black, the Small pleated leather bag in Black, the Medium leather bag in Black and the Medium velvet bag in Green share a rigid resin top handle and a detachable strap, in leather, pleated leather, snakeskin-printed calf, velvet and embroidered nylon. The micro takes a phone and a card case; the medium takes the day. The embroidered-bags page covers the decorated versions.

The clutches and the scarf bags

The Jacquard envelope bag in Sand is an envelope in Floral Tapestry jacquard on a chain; the pleated leather clutches fold the leather; the velvet clutch carries the Glass Kaleidoscope print; the Embroidered crossbody bag in Navy is a small crossbody in leather and satin with 3-D flowers in gold bullion. The Large scarf bag in Brown is a flat viscose tote printed like a scarf, in small, large and oversized, with a detachable pouch; it folds, weighs nothing and is the most useful bag in the range.
