Apparently, Bottega Veneta is not the only bag brand Reese Witherspoon loves to wear, check out these photos of her toting the classic black Rebecca Minkoff Clutch.

Want the Rebecca Minkoff Clutch? And before you start asking, yup, it’s a two-way, the chain strap is removable.

Why not get its latest variant instead? It’s called the Rebecca Minkoff Basket Weave Clutch and it is trimmed with woven leather.

I like this fresh take on the bag – the mixing of textures. You can tell Rebecca Minkoff (the designer) really put some attention into detailing this bag.

The treatment is the first I’ve seen from this perennial Minkoff item. Usually, she just changes the material used for the bag’s body. I am guessing the new dive could be attributed to the woven trend that is up for spring. Either way, it’s good to see her innovate.

If you want something even smaller, you can go for the Rebecca Minkoff Basket Weave Mini Mini Bag.

If both options are too small for you, go for the Morning After Bag instead.

You can purchase any of the three Rebecca Minkoff bags at Shopbop.com

Here’s Reese Witherspoon in another Bottega Veneta bag. We saw her previously in a hobo version, now she’s wearing the tote.

She must love Bottega a whole lot. The outfit is quite simple and down to earth, the same way she is, but wearing the woven Bottega is enough to up the look.

A textured bag, such as a woven Bottega, always brings more than the usual to the plate because it adds character to whoever is wearing it.

If you want the look, but don’t want to spend so much money on a bag, check out the new Iona Bucket in Black Patent from Elliot Lucca:

The Elliot Lucca Iona Bucket also comes in Eggshell Patent and Multi Metallic

Elliot Lucca Handbags are definitely more affordable, with bag prices falling under US$250 or even lower depending on the style. What I like most about Elliot Lucca Handbags is that they are beautifully constructed. The workmanship on each bag is clean and sturdy, and the materials are of good quality.

The Iona Collection is its most recent release. All the Iona bags are made of woven patent leather, making it look more trendy, glitzy, and wearable for evening.

If you’re fond of buying in sets, you may also purchase the Iona Bucket‘s small partner, the Iona Demi, available in Black Patent and Multi Metallic:

So what is it about woven handbags that make it such a great fashion accessory? Personally, I think it’s the pattern created by the meticulous weaving technique that makes the bag distinct and unique.

To give you a quick history, the weaving brilliance came from Bottega Veneta. It was the genius of the brand that started this “weave wave” among bags. In fact, the woven handbag has now become synonymous to the brand and vise versa.

Judging by the number of celebrities walking around with it, iconic is probably an understatement. To name a few celebs wearing the popular brand, here are a couple of pictures:
