Katie Holmes’s Old Tote Is By One Of Princess Diana’s Go-To Bag Makers

Katie Holmes always has a tote bag while running errands in New York. For a while, it’s been Khaite’s Amelia bag, and before that it was Bezva’s large white tote. Given that she has all these new-season styles at her fingertips, the fact that she has now dug out an old Tod’s double T bag – which she was last spotted with back in 2018 – is surely a sign of things to come.

After all, where Holmes goes, the rest of us tend to follow. She will forever be remembered as the woman who made cashmere bras a thing, and brought back out her ballet flats long before the revival began. So, what does her Tod’s double T bag mean for this season? While Holmes went for a more tonal look, pairing her shopper with a burgundy jumper and skirt, it seems the “pop of red” styling trick is going nowhere – specifically, when it comes to bags. Considering that Vogue’s senior shopping writer Alice Cary (another arbiter of style), recently woke up in the middle of the night thinking “red bag”, you’ve got to trust us (and Katie) on this one.

Of course, Holmes’s is not any old red bag. Its timeless silhouette – and practical size – means it slots seamlessly back into her bag rotation. Plus, the double T logo makes it a bit cooler than Tod’s famous Di style, the Italian brand’s first bag named after Princess Diana, who was photographed carrying it on several occasions.

The best thing about Holmes revisiting an old classic? You can get your hands on it on the resale market at a fraction of the original price. If it’s not already lurking at the back of your wardrobe, that is.
