Meghan Markle just carried one with a similar detail, too
Shop Reese’s Exact Straw Bag
- Anya Hindmarch Small Walton Basket Bag, $575; Anya Hindmarch
Book club, brunch, beach day — Reese Witherspoon found a bag that works for all three.
The actress recently shared an Instagram reel in which she carries her book in an adorable straw bag. It’s designer Anya Hindmarch’s $575 Walton Seagrass Basket Bag, personalized with her initials — a custom detail that Meghan Markle also has on her Longchamp bag. Style it with a linen dress and sandals, and you're ready for just about any summer plan. Unlike heavier leather handbags, basketwoven styles feel lighter to carry and pair naturally with warm-weather outfits.
I tracked down Witherspoon’s exact handbag, along with similar styles from Nordstrom, Amazon, and more for as little as $30.
