Katie Holmes just convinced Us that a black tote isn't just a basic - it's a winter essential. She wears hers with everything from chunky sweaters to crisp denim and tailored outerwear, proving how versatile a classic carryall can be. Naturally, we wanted the look . . . just without the steep designer spend. Her pick - the $860 Aspinal of London East West Tote - is undeniably gorgeous. It's polished, structured and pairs effortlessly with every cold-weather outfit.
