She carried a roomy crossbody purse that looked like a messenger bag

Itty-bitty bags are biting the dust — at least, according to Kate Hudson, they may be.
The Bride Wars actress went shopping for holiday presents over the weekend with a hands-free bag strapped across her body, and just one 12-second TikTok clip persuaded us to dole out some change on a purse that's just like hers. It looked like a messenger bag but was also just a roomier crossbody, which is a style she's carried before.
The greatness of her accessory boils down to its size, which wasn't as Mary Poppins-esque as a tote bag or as squished as a tiny wallet purse. Roomier styles like hers could fit more inside if need be (maybe for any holiday presents you receive while traveling), but they're not so big that they need to be lugged around on a shoulder or arm.

This Sam Edelman bag looks fluffy and puffy like a down-filled winter coat and has a nice wide strap. It has a zipper and snap, too, so there's good security. The wine color is eye-catching, but the black one is the exact same price if that's something you'd wear more. Or, if you want a green option like hers, head to Amazon to take home this one that's more utilitarian.

One of the beauties of this Coach bag is that it's a designer bag. Christian Dior, which is what Hudson's appears to be, may be out of your budget, but this is a more viable option that's even more discounted right now. It has the brand's distinctive logo and would be good to share with your friends, siblings, parents, and more. It's also big enough to fit an iPad, so it also works for the commuter.

And if you want to be a rule breaker, the bag you choose doesn't have to strictly be a messenger bag in order for it to be like Hudson's. This Lululemon bag holds 5 liters of stuff, which is double the size of the biggest belt bag we saw on the site. TL;DR: It can fit a lot, which messenger bags do. This one also gets bonus points for having a foldover-like style.
