Why Every Celeb Is Currently Wearing This Premium Handbag—And Why It’s Poised To Dominate 2025

There has been one dominant trend when it comes to 'It' bags: reprising old classics. Just last year, fashion insiders made a case for noughties icons such as the Mulberry Bayswater and Balenciaga's charm-adorned City Bag. That's not to say that there haven't been any new launches; a chic example being The Row's Margaux, whose popularity inspired an array of high-street replicas. However, with a four-figure price tag, it's not exactly what we'd call accessible. It seems 2025 is veering in newer directions with a relatively affordable launch taking that coveted top spot on the shoulders of the A-list: Tory Burch's new Romy bag.

For the last few seasons, Tory Burch has been rebranding her label from the purveyor of delicate floral dresses and ballet flats to a refined aesthetic that seems like it was taken right out of The Row or Jil Sander's playbook. The Romy bag sticks to the minimalistic brief with an elegant pebbled leather body devoid of embellishments except a slim belt detail embellished with a gold-tone logo-engraved button. Despite being fully leaned into the quiet luxury aesthetic, the Romy is much more accessible than its high end counterparts.

Given It-bags and It-girls have always coexisted in intertwined harmony, it only makes sense that the Romy's new found popularity is thanks in large part to its celebrity fans which include Jodie Turner-Smith, Emma Roberts, Michelle Williams and Suki Waterhouse. These stylish celebs have all been partial to The Romy Tote in black, which is roomy enough to fit everything but the kitchen sink, making it an ideal work bag. But if you'd rather avoid a large carryall, you'll find the Romy comes in two more sizes including a small tote and a bucket bag all rendered in an assortment of delectable shades.

Elegant and understated, Tory Burch's Romy bags boast the kind of design that elevates any outfit it's paired with — whether you take notes from Jodie Turner-Smith's plaid jacket and pleated trousers combo, offset a monochrome outfit with a grey Romy tote like Suki Waterhouse, or opt for the striking lemon yellow bucket bag in preparation for springtime dressing.

With a trendy belted silhouette and versatile sizes on offer, we predict the Romy bag is well on its way to becoming a best-seller, especially since a few iterations have already sold out online. All of which to say, we suggest investing in one now to stay ahead of the fashion curve.
