Katie Holmes has a new favorite bag. She has been spotted sporting it not only twice, but a good nine times during the past week or so.
The bag – a plain red slouchy crossbody – looked nothing out of the ordinary, but it did get us quite curious.

For something so simple and plain, Mrs. Cruise seems quite smitten 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 and is currently available for $348 at Shopbop.
