Katie Holmes has been our style inspiration for years, and it’s been fun to see how her style shifts over time. When it comes to accessories, the actress has been known for wearing her large, mom-friendly bags, but recently she’s ditched the oversized totes for dainty mini purses.
Holmes was spotted carrying itty-bitty purses multiple times this summer, and honestly, we’re here for the refresh. The screen icon has never steered Us wrong when it comes to fashion before, so we’re taking notes on her new obsession and shopping for the cutest mini bags below.
Channel Katie Holmes’ Bag Style With These 17 Mini Purses
1. Extra Tiny: Holmes wore her smallest bag to date during Fashion Week. This cute mini crossbody bears a striking similarity to the OG, thanks to its sleek, black leather exterior. The chain strap is a nice touch, too.
2. Dotted Dreams: Another mini bag shape Holmes loves is the long bowling bag. While petite, this polka dot purse features long arm straps for comfy toting — and fits a surprising amount inside.
3. Neutral Staple: Clutches aren’t just for weddings or fancy occasions. A neutral handheld bag, like this faux suede design, can be the finishing touch for any outfit.
4. Work of Art: The gently slanted top and asymmetric front flap on JW Pei’s faux leather bag ensure it stands out from your average black purse. No doubt it’ll be a conversation starter.
5. Ocean Vibes: Discovering this little leather crossbody clutch felt like unearthing sunken treasure. With its oyster-inspired shape and gold circle closure, the pick is an absolute must-have for vacation.
Relaxed, oversized bags have their time and place, but if there’s one thing we’ve noticed from A-listers, it’s that said time is not now. Cool girls and celebrities like Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lopez and Lupita Nyong’o are all ditching floppy totes for structured handle handbags this summer, and we’re following suit. The trendy summer style […]
6. Une Baguette, Si Vous Plaît: If I can’t get a real French baguette, this petite structured shoulder bag will do. Its sleek lines and gold accents are très chic!
7. Functionally Fabulous: This soft quilted leather bag can go with you anywhere — music festivals, brunches and everywhere in between! The four convenient pockets will keep everything securely in place.
8. Designer for Less: We had to do a double-take to confirm the price on this Michael Kors crossbody. Score it for under $55 while you can!
9. High End Feeling: Top handle bags instantly make Us think of classic Chanel designs. Get the same look (without the exorbitant price tag!) with this elegant micro mini purse.
10. Shrink It: Combine Holmes’ two loves — tote bags and mini purses — with an 11-inch petite tote that comes in 19 colors. Our favorite is the deep red.
11. Vacation Bag: Between the straw exterior and unique hexagonal shape, this dainty mini bag is the perfect finishing touch for any seaside outfit.
12. Saddle Up: There’s something undeniably adorable about this mini saddle bag, and at its affordable price, we’re tempted to purchase multiple colors.
13. Surprising Space: Thanks to its deep silhouette, this mini braided bucket bag stores more than you’d expect. There’s even room for your phone!
14. Three-in-One: Why choose between a crossbody, shoulder bag or clutch when you can have all three with The Sak’s convertible crocheted mini bag?
15. Baby Pink: Anyone with a growing bag collection will tell you that at least one playfully colored purse belongs in your lineup. This baby pink Kelly design is currently calling your name.
16. Go Boho: A simple way to ease into the boho trend is with a little accent bag, and this floral crocheted beauty is a wonderful place to start.
17. The Everyday Pick: Why save a small bag for a special occasion when this two-toned leather crossbody is convenient and chic? The pick is petite while still managing to hold everything you need.
