Jolie recently added a pop of color to her monochrome outfit with a large leather bag. Whether you’re going on holiday or to work with all your work essentials, this similar style available on Amazon is a great and practical option — it has three pockets held closed by magnets, and the brown color is easy to match with a variety of outfits.

If you need even more space, the sides of this faux leather bag can be extended, increasing your capacity by 50 percent, according to the brand. Customers agree that it’s a great carry-on size for travel, with one customer writing that the “versatile” style also “fits well in luggage.”

Larger shoulder bags, like the messenger bags recently worn by Kate Hudson, have generated a lot of attention in 2024, and their popularity is likely to continue to grow in the new year.

This Sam Edelman bag, now marked down to $50 at Nordstrom Rack, features a large interior compartment, an interior zippered pocket, and a wide crossbody strap that fits comfortably over the shoulder thanks to its plush design.
