Back in the day ("the day" being 2010), Katie Holmes hardly went anywhere without her Max Mara Margaux Bag. The top-handle style was the Holmes equivalent of Jennifer Lopez's Hermès Birkin, featuring a similar turn-lock flap closure. However, the now-vintage model has been noticeably absent from her arm since 2011.
Instead of pulling the Margaux out of storage, Holmes debuted Max Mara's worthy successor on August 27. As any celebrity New Yorker does (see: Jennifer Lawrence and Zoë Kravitz), the Dawson's Creek alum took the Whitney Bag 7 out for an off-duty spin. The circa-2015 tote mirrors the rectangular shape of a classic laptop bag. Its low-sheen calfskin exterior is covered in vertical pleated panels—a clear callout to its namesake, the Whitney Museum of American Art.
