We love how Katie Holmes radiates simple style. Whether she’s dolled up on the red carpet or dressed down and dashing around New York City, it’s obvious that she has a flair for fashion. But, of course, the Dawson’s Creek alum has a celeb bank account, making her style choices a tad out of reach for us regular folk. So when she was spotted with a Tusting Como Explorer, we set out to find something a smidge less expensive than the $650 price tag. And we scored! The Bolosta Canvas Weekender Bag has all the Katie Holmes classy vibes for just $48 at Amazon.
Planning a big trip? This canvas bag can fit a week’s worth of clothes, fits snugly in an airplane’s overhead bin and has a special compartment just for shoes.
The Tusting bag is handmade in England, so it might well be worth the price tag, but the Bolosta? It’s got some pretty impressive features that will get you from point A to point B fashionably. First off, this large-capacity bag (19 by 13 by 9.5 inches) is made with durable canvas and has a detachable shoulder strap, like any good weekend bag should. But, in addition to the standard two inner slip pockets and inner zip pocket, this already roomy bag has a special bottom compartment made just for shoes. That means you don’t have to worry about bringing an extra bag for sneakers or letting your clean clothes mingle with your dirty flip-flops. That alone is worth the price of the Tusting bag.
Another really cool feature? The outer zippered pocket slides over a suitcase handle for easy maneuvering in the airport. You can run from gate to gate without losing your, err, stuff. And for $48, not only do you get this weekender bag, but you also get a cosmetic back and a crossbody bag. This bag just keeps giving and giving!
More than 3,400 jet setters rave about this bag and all its glorious features.
“This bag checks all the boxes,” shared a five-star fan. “The size is perfect for a long weekend and with the bottom shoe compartment, it just can’t be beat. I have also used it as a carry-on and it has an easy slip-on slot that slides right over the handle of your suitcase making it much easier to manage all your luggage.”
“This is my go-to bag for weekend trips,” another rave reviewer wrote. “It’s roomy, has nice pockets, and looks great! Definitely enough room for an over-packer like myself.”
“Girl, I fit my whole life in this bag,” a savvy traveler gushed. “This bag can fit a week’s worth of clothing/shoes and still have room for more. I seriously love it, plus it’s great in airports as it fits over your suitcase!”
Practical and chic, this canvas carryall has Katie Holmes class at a Joey Potter price.
