Julianne Moore’s brown braided bag is the must-have tote for A/W 2025

Julianne Moore is carrying the “must-have” bag of the moment.

There are trends that emerge on the runways, others on social media, and then there are those that simply become objects of desire through repetition. The dark-toned braided bag is one of them. This luxuriously textured, handcrafted accessory has been gaining more and more followers, eventually finding its way into the wardrobes of almost every fashionista. No matter which city you walk through, you’ll see it everywhere —and Moore also approves of this trend.

The braided bag began to gain traction a few seasons ago thanks to Bottega Veneta, but we know that trends follow a course from the moment they are worn on runways and celebrities until they truly emerge on the street. Now, we can say that this design has endured with the approval of celebs like Moore and the general public.

While the most stylish women will be styling their braided bags with jeans, blazers and loafers, Julianne Moore adds her own take on the look with a style that screams confidence. A black knit sweater, wide-legged dark brown faux-leather pants, and gathered shoes come together in this outfit, spiced up by her braided shopper bag, aviator sunglasses, earcuffs, and a delicate necklace.

It’s no coincidence that this bag is such a hit. It’s textured, not basic and, perhaps most significantly, it contrasts with the saturation of logos. In some ways, this bag represents a more artisanal aesthetic aspiration and, at the same time, feels like one of those pieces that will stay with us forever. So yes: the braided bag (mostly in dark tones) is still a must-have bag of the season. We can only take note.
