Reese Witherspoon Just Confirmed The Fall It-Bag Of The Season, And It’s From A Celeb-Loved Brand You Already Know

Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston have been providing back-to-back autumn outfit inspiration while on the press trail for season four of The Morning Show. Earlier this month, Jen gave us a chic moment with a high-street Dune bag in rich burgundy (proof that she’s got an eye for a stealth buy), and now Reese is making a case for the new It-bag of the season – and it’s from a British label fashion people already swear by: DeMellier.

For the uninitiated, DeMellier was founded by Mireia Llusia-Lindh and built with a clear mission in mind: to craft handbags without compromise. That translates to accessible price points and responsibly produced pieces, all made in European ateliers. After its 2017 rebrand to DeMellier, the label quickly gained star power and continues to captivate fashion circles to this day.

Spotted carrying the Midi New York Bag in Black Small Grain, Reese reminded us why this London-based brand has such a following. I’ve had my eye on this exact style for months, and seeing it on Reese might just be the push I need to finally click ‘add to basket’

So, what makes this the bag to buy? For starters, its versatility. You can carry it top-handle like Reese, or throw it crossbody when you’re on the go. It’s smaller than the classic New York tote, meaning it fits just the essentials (think phone, wallet, lip balm – job done).

What I love about DeMellier is the options available. If you’re the type who likes to collect a bag in every colour, the Midi New York comes in more than ten neutral shades. Burgundy is having a big moment right now, while raffia makes the perfect summer switch-up. And if a suede bag is more your vibe, there are autumn-ready textures, too.

The A-list receipts keep stacking up. Katie Holmes has already been spotted with the mocha suede version (FYI: mocha is basically the colour of 2025, according to Pantone).

Renee Zellweger is also a fan and wore the larger New York style in Dark Sand Small Grain while filming Only Murders in the Building season five.

Second-time mum Vanessa Hudgens recently stepped out in L.A. with the New York Shoulder in Off-White – a style that gives Alaïa’s cult Le Teckel bag some serious competition. This bag has been on my wishlist for a while now, and I’m certain it will be my second DeMellier purchase, after my Capri tote.

Looking for more inspiration? Let’s not forget the royals. Princess Kate has carried multiple iterations of DeMellier’s Nano Montreal bag, while Meghan Markle has championed the Mini Venice in Forest Green (a petite, tasselled, gold-detailed dream that's unfortunately not currently available to buy). This label is equally at home on Hollywood red carpets and Kensington Palace steps.

If the A-list isn't enough to convince you, the Demellier Siena Hobo bag has been spotted on the feeds of the most fashionable influencers, too. Making a case as the perfect everyday bag, the oversized crescent shape makes it the perfect carry-all companion, with interior details like a roomy main compartment, anti-scratch zip and a small interior pocket for all of life's essentials and more.

So, if you’ve been waiting for a sign that this is the brand to buy from, consider Reese and her very famous (and fashionable) company as confirmation.
