Jessica Alba Wore the Work Tote That Meghan Markle and I Also Love

I've previously written over 300 words on one single bag: Cuyana's Classic Leather Tote. I wrote about how I've brought it to work every day and filled it to the brim for every flight over the past five years, yet it shows remarkably little wear. So when I saw Jessica Alba wearing a Cuyana tote to her office, I couldn't help but say "I told you so." Photographed in Los Angeles, Alba doubled up with a Cuyana Classic Structured Leather Tote ($195) plus a Celine by Hedi Slimane Triomphe Handbag.
Cuyana makes the tote in both a structured version and a slouchier "classic" version, and it comes in a range of colors, including caramel, black, blush, navy, and other colors. With stamps of approval from Jessica Alba, Meghan Markle, and an editor who spends her entire day online shopping (that's me), you know it has to be a good tote. Scroll down to see how Alba wore it, and shop the tote bag for yourself.

Next, Kate Middleton just wore skinny jeans with $200 boots on her royal tour of Copenhagen.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
