For power women with long agendas [1], carrying a clutch isn't always ideal. These ladies have important meetings to attend or busy schedules that don't allow them much downtime. You can bet they need a sophisticated satchel that packs a punch but has room to store portable chargers, wallets, sunglasses, tablets, or perhaps even paperwork.
We're looking to some of our favorite Hollywood boss ladies [2], who seemed to agree that in 2017, the Michael Kors Collection Bancroft tote [3] (retailing from $990 to $1,390, depending on size) was a go-to. The design — which has a tall, square shape, is finished with a touch of hardware, and is even equipped with an exterior pocket — is certainly appealing and comes in so many different colorways. If Nicole Kidman [4], Amal Clooney, Kate Hudson [5], Blake Lively [6], and Gabrielle Union [7] don't inspire you to pick up the exact iteration they chose, perhaps you'll prefer a similar style with the very same details.
Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman [9] styled a black version of the Bancroft bag with a white, bead-embellished, knee-length dress and metallic sandals at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.
Amal Clooney
Amal finished her orange Bottega Veneta suit [10] with neutral accessories, including the Bancroft bag and Manolo Blahnik pumps, while out in New York in 2017.
Kate Hudson
Kate Hudson [11] offset her striped Johanna Ortiz separates with a snakeskin version of the Michael Kors Collection satchel in New York in 2017.
Blake Lively
While promoting her film All I See Is You in New York in 2017, Blake wore this Ralph Lauren three-piece suit [12] with cranberry lace-up booties and her Michael Kors Collection bag.
Gabrielle Union
Gabrielle Union [13] stepped out in New York in 2017, highlighting the bag with her Stella Luna thigh-high boots [14]. She wore an embellished Mira Mikati yellow coat [15] over a gray turtleneck dress.
