Tiny bags are biting the dust – at least they could be, according to Kate Hudson.
The Bride wars actress went holiday gift shopping over the weekend with a hands-free bag strapped across her body, and just one 12-second TikTok clip convinced us to stash change in a purse just like hers. It looked like a messenger bag, but it was also just a roomier crossbody, which is a style she’s worn before.
The size of her accessory came down to its size, which wasn’t Mary Poppins like a big bag or squished like a tiny purse in a wallet. Roomier models like hers could fit more inside if needed (perhaps for all the holiday gifts you get while traveling), but they’re not so big that you have to carry them on your shoulder or arm.

$90 $50 at Nordstromrack.com
This Sam Edelman bag looks fluffy and puffy like a down winter coat and has a nice wide strap. It has a zipper and a buckle, so there is good security. The wine color is attractive, but the black is exactly the same price if it’s something you’d wear more. Or, if you want a green option like hers, head over to Amazon and take home this more useful one.

One of the beauties of this Coach bag is that it is a designer bag. Christian Dior, which appears to be Hudson’s, may be out of your budget, but this is a more viable option that’s even more discounted right now. It has a recognizable brand logo and it would be good to share it with your friends, siblings, parents and others. It’s also big enough to fit an iPad, so it’s also great for commuters.

And if you want to be a rule breaker, the bag you choose doesn’t have to be strictly a messenger bag to be like Hudson. This Lululemon bag holds 5 liters of stuff, which is double the size of the largest belt bag we’ve seen on the site. TL;DR: It fits a lot, same as courier bags. This one also gets extra points for having a flap-like style.
