Sarah Jessica Parker Carries This Fuss-Free Bag Style So Often, She’s Convincing Us to Buy One, Too

Sarah Jessica Parker makes her fans happy.

The actress came out in front of the theater to greet fans and sign autographs afterwards Apartment Plaza in London on January 19. The 58-year-old kept warm in a black coat and gray cap, which she styled with light blue jeans and black boots. She also had a backpack strapped to her, plus a shoulder bag that appears to be the same one she carried at least twice last year – once while walking around New York and then again at the airport.

So why does she always opt for the no-fuss style? We can’t know for sure, but this time it’s probably so she’d have her hands free to wave and sign autographs. Otherwise, it’s probably because they’re an easy way to organize all your essentials while still being able to pick up your phone, open the door, or take a sip of your drink without things falling out everywhere. And in winter, you won’t have to constantly adjust the straps over a bulky coat.

Katie Holmes has also returned to a compact shoulder bag after carrying larger bags, while other celebrities, such as Jennifer Aniston, Mindy Kaling, Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lawrence, have been carrying the smaller style for months. Blake Lively and Jessica Alba have even been spotted with accessories for hands-free phones.

While SJP’s go-to bag has a thicker strap, you might gravitate towards a thinner one for dressier days – which this Gladdon bag has. The leather-like material is also more comfortable at night than a casual canvas bag, and it comes in 16 colors, if green doesn’t suit your vibe.

One customer, who left a five-star rating, said it was their “favorite shoulder bag.” They continued: “It’s just big enough to fit all the essentials. I will choose this purse over any of my designer bags every time.”
