We all know Katie Holmes is the queen of school-run style. Often papped wearing that perfect combo of quiet-luxury-meets-soccer-mum outfits, her looks are always a blend of the ultra-luxe with high street. Neutral tones, jeans and a good pair of flats are key to her effortless-chic formula, but so is a great tote bag.
Every bag seen on the Hollywood mum to Suri Cruise immediately flies off shelves, the way all of Kate Middleton’s demure midi dresses do. That’s because Katie has a great eye for finding those giant, fit-all tote bags that somehow seem sturdy enough to handle mum duties while also chic enough to take to a girls’ lunch.
Her latest arm candy is no exception. Katie was seen strutting the streets of NYC in a cosy cardigan and boxy jeans, and Dune’s XL Deliberate tote bag in camel. The bag, which has been sold out twice this season already, is the brand’s most tagged item on Instagram to date and has gone viral on TikTok.
It’s easy to see why. With plenty of slouch and chic woven details, the capacious carryall can also fit a laptop, which makes the perfect work bag for autumn-winter. Oh, it’s at a relatively-affordable price point of £150.
The oversized tote has been a trend all of this season, with It girls like Bella Hadid and Daisy Edgar-Jones toting their fave bags about town, but as we saw on the Paris Fashion Week runways for spring-summer 2025, they’re about to get supersized next season. This means you’d be able to wear this bag not just for cosy season but way into next year. Leave to Katie Holmes to be ten steps ahead in her style game.
Dune’s hobo bag, available in black and brown, is now back in stock, but probably not for long, so be sure to snap one up before it goes again.

Even Katie Holmes can’t get enough.
