Nicole Kidman Carried the Woven Bag Style Reese Witherspoon Also Wears

In my humble opinion, handbags make or break an outfit; you can’t be dressed to the nines and neglect the accessory that holds all of your most precious belongings. That’s why I own stacks of clutches, crossbody purses, and shoulder bags — but Nicole Kidman just convinced me to add one more style to my collection. 

The actress attended the U.S. Open Tennis Championships on September 10 wearing a Naked Cashmere tank top, pinstripe matching set, and a wide-brim hat. She slipped on a pair of contrasting loafers and, my favorite part, a little brown bag.

If her caramel purse looks familiar, that’s because Reese Witherspoon has carried a variation from Clare V. before. While it’s not confirmed whether or not Kidman was carrying a Clare V. bag, it makes sense that the two Big Little Lies friends have similar taste. 

What makes the purse style so great is the woven design. Not only does it add texture to her overall ensemble, but the pattern exudes elegance and intricacy. Much like this Madewell crossbody option, the bag’s intertwined leather creates an overlapping effect that sets it apart from anything else in your wardrobe.

The color is yet another key attribute that makes the bag one of the most seasonally appropriate purses you can snag. Reminiscent of maple-colored leaves, the cocoa color screams fall and seamlessly pairs with popular autumn hues such as tan, olive green, and burnt orange.

Because of the style’s simple color scheme, pairing the bag with your favorite fashion pieces is uncomplicated. Make like Kidman and coordinate a purse like Bostanten’s Large Leather Tote with a two-piece set or opt for wide-leg jeans and a white tee. You can even elevate a handbag like this chain-strap YP find with a bodysuit and knee-high boots. No matter how you style your Kidman-inspired purse, it will instantly elevate your outfit a few notches.
