Forget Black—Celebrity It Bags All Have This One Color in Common


The colder months always bring with them a rich color palette, but for 2024, there has been a focus on deep brown and burgundy. This is particularly prevalent in the accessory department, where chocolate-brown ballet pumps and suede tote bags are on track to potentially outsell black leather. Brands like Chloé, Khaite, and The Row have been favoring leather handbags in chestnut, mahogany, and toffee, and so many celebrities are (temporarily) trading in their black bags for brown bags.
As for specific styles, Chemena Kamali's fall debut at Chloé has undoubtedly been the most hyped collection in celebrity circles, and Sienna Miller has been spotted with several of the bags in brown leather, including the Camera Bag and the Bracelet Bag. This color really suits the '70s mood that the Parisian brand is reigniting, and it will look just as good with a blazer and jeans as a ruffled boho maxi gown. Katie Holmes, meanwhile, has been spotted with an oversize tan leather tote bag by Khaite, and Dakota Johnson is one of many to fall for suede oversize bags, carrying a chestnut version by The Row.
