Katie Holmes has a new favorite bag, having been seen with it multiple times over the past week. The plain red slouchy crossbody bag looked nothing out of the ordinary, but it got us quite curious.

For something so simple and plain, Mrs. Cruise seems quite obsessed with it, lugging it pretty much wherever she went. Check out Kate and her new red bag below:

So, what do you think of the bag? Rather understated, yes? But Katie has been known to go for such pieces.
Her poppy red bag is a nubuck-shelled messenger from Clare Vivier (née Guerrero), an American fashion designer and a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA)

It’s a roomy purse with a pleated bottom, gold hardware decorations, and a detachable shoulder strap, which, as you can see, Katie has put to good use. The bag also comes in black and navy.
