Katie Holmes has quite the knack for making even the most practical items look desirable, and her go-to Madewell tote bag is no exception. Spotted around New York last year, she's carried the same Essential Bucket tote no matter the weather, and I'm finally adding it to my basket.
Admittedly, I've been keeping an eye on her exact bag this week because it's available on Amazon and I was hoping that it might be discounted in the Prime Day event. But honestly, although it hasn't been discounted, this is one of those buys I know I'll use year-round, deal or no deal. It's roomy enough to fit your daytime essentials in, and the rich chocolate brown color falls perfectly in line with the fashion trends of 2025.
