When Katie Holmes wears the same piece several times in a row, I take note—but I’m even more interested when my fellow editors are spotted with the same piece in real life. That's how my love of Madewell bags—almost all of which are on sale right now for Black Friday—came to be. Not only does Madewell make some of the best affordable work bags on the market, but those same pieces can easily double as an everyday essential in your closet (and Holmes's, clearly.)
Madewell’s Black Friday sale just dropped a week ahead of the biggest shopping weekend of the year. The brand is offering shoppers 30 percent off sitewide, including already on-sale finds. An additional 30 percent off can be taken when you use the discount code "MADEBETTER" at checkout. That means you can scoop up Holmes’s favorite under-$200 leather tote, The Essential Bucket Tote, for less in a few neutral colors.
