Are clutch bags outdated? Drawstring bags are the new standard for Reiwa weddings!
2025/04 HushTug Editorial Department

" When it comes to wedding bags, clutch bags are the best ."
Do you have this image in mind?
Indeed, that was the norm until recently.
But did you know that this "norm" is now starting to change?

In fact, recently there has been an increasing number of people saying, " Clutch bags might be unfashionable ."
Is this really the case? To find out the truth, we conducted a survey of approximately 50 men in their 20s to 60s about their image of clutch bags.

▼Survey results▼

The most common response was "it's stylish," but the next most common harsh comment was "it's uncool."
When comments such as "it's hard to hold" and "it looks old-fashioned" are included, the overall result shows that more people have a negative impression of it .
It seems that the image of " clutch bags = a little old-fashioned and unfashionable " is spreading.

After seeing the results, some people may feel reluctant to use a clutch bag.
Also,
" I don't want to look like someone else "
" I only used it because it's a standard, but I don't really like it ."
I'm sure there are many people who feel the same way.

However, you may be wondering, "So, what kind of bag would be appropriate for a wedding instead?"
In fact, a certain bag is currently attracting attention as a new standard to replace clutch bags .

This is a drawstring leather bag from the leather brand HushTug .
Why is this bag, which is far removed from a clutch bag, chosen as the bag for weddings? We'll explain in detail why.
Why do we recommend the Wedding x HushTug Drawstring Bag?

The important thing when choosing a bag for a wedding is to follow proper etiquette .
Basically, there will be no problem if you keep the following points in mind.
- Formal and simple design
- A calm color that blends well with suits
- Compact size that's not too big
- High-quality leather material
The HushTug drawstring leather bag ticks all of these boxes.

Here are some reasons why we recommend this bag as a wedding gift:
▼Why we recommend HushTug drawstring bags▼
-
Unique design that no one else will have
- Made with luxurious domestic Himeji leather
- It can also be used daily, making it a great value for money.
Reason 1: Unique design that you won't find on anyone else!

As the name suggests, a drawstring leather bag is shaped like a drawstring bag .
The soft, crumpled silhouette at the top and the rounded overall design are appealing.
Although simple, the finish has a playful feel to it, creating a sophisticated, sophisticated look that stands out from the crowd.

Recently, casual weddings with no dress code have become more common.
A bag with a stylish design like this is perfect for such occasions. It is also recommended for those who find the standard clutch bag a little too formal.
Of course, it also works well for occasions between formal and casual, such as wedding receptions .
Reason 2: Made with luxurious domestic Himeji leather

HushTug products are made using domestic Himeji leather , which is highly regarded around the world.
It has the high-quality texture that only genuine leather can provide, and blends naturally into formal occasions such as weddings.
In addition, genuine leather is highly durable , so the more you use it, the more its character improves, making it a great product that you can enjoy for a long time.

The reason it can be used for a long time is not just because of the quality of the materials.
Each and every HushTug item is carefully handcrafted by artisans .
These bags, which are made using Japan's proud sewing techniques, are not only beautiful to look at, but also durable enough to be used for a long time.
Reason 3: It's great value for money and can be used daily.

Drawstring leather bags go well with casual clothing and are easy to use on a daily basis .
There aren't many opportunities in life to attend a wedding.
Bags with a strong formal impression, such as clutch bags, can only be used in limited situations, so even if you buy one, you may only end up using it a few times .

In this regard, drawstring leather bags are an excellent value for money item as they naturally fit into everyday situations such as dates and weekend outings.
Pay attention to the size!

This drawstring leather bag is recommended for weddings, but one thing you should be careful about is the size .
It is a little small to fit a gift or a fukusa, and they may spill out.
However, these are essential items for a wedding, so we recommend storing them in an inside jacket pocket .

Some people may think, "In that case, I don't need a bag."
However, weddings tend to have a surprising amount of luggage.
If you stuff everything into your pockets, it will ruin the silhouette of your suit and ruin your overall appearance .

It is smart to carry thin items like gift money in your pocket and bulky items like your smartphone and wallet in your bag .

On the other hand, drawstring leather bags are compact and easy to carry , making them perfect for carrying small items.
It comes with a strap so you can wear it around your wrist, so you don't have to worry about forgetting it.
