We’ve got two celebrity Kates who currently love the Proenza Schouler Small Leather PS11 Crossbody Bag.

First off the list is Superman Returns actress Kate Bosworth, who has been spotted twice with a Proenza Schouler Small Leather PS11 in Medium Brown while out and about in California recently.

And then we have fashion designer and actress Mary Kate Olsen, who added a pop of color, via her Proenza Schouler Small Leather PS11 in Medium Brown, to her black ensemble last month while running errands in Culver City, California.

So I’m a bit curious as to what has gotten these two adorable Kates so enamored with this little crossbody purse. Let’s examine the Proenza Schouler Small Leather PS11 more in detail:

Hmmm, it looks elegant and sophisticated, right? It has clean cut lines and a sleek material. I do love the color, the grill detail, and the smooth finish. You can actually wear this bag in three ways—as a crossbody, a shoulder bag, or as a clutch.

Overall, this beauty screams luxury. Well, the same can be said for its price, too. It has a luxurious price of $1,850.00 at Barneys.com. Such a huge price for a little bag, don’t you think so? So if you love the bag, but not the price, then why don’t you take a look at these alternatives. I couldn’t find exact-looking crossbody bags, but you might be interested in these:

This gorgeous crossbody bag is making waves in Tinseltown. We’ve spotted several celebrities who carried this utterly sophisticated bag.

There’s newly engaged Vanessa Minnillo, for instance, who has been photographed countless of times toting the Alexander Wang Rocco Mini Duffle Bag in patent black. The recent sighting was a few weeks back when she went shopping with fiancé Nick Lachey in Barneys New York in Beverly Hills. Take a look:

Then there’s cute and cool Kate Bosworth, who grabbed a quick lunch in West Hollywood with an Alexander Wang Rocco Mini Duffle Bag in smoke gray leather. Here’s a look:

And last, but not the least, we’ve got Hilary Duff, who is perhaps the most staunch fan of the Alexander Wang Rocco Mini Duffel Bag—she’s been carrying her black patent leather version since middle of last year. The last time we saw her with it was when she was doing some Holiday shopping in Barneys New York in Beverly Hills on December 20. Take a look:

It’s not really difficult to figure out why celebrities love the Alexander Wang Rocco Mini Duffle Bag. It is very luxe with its sleek material and simple yet elegant lines. The metallic studs at the bottom of this crossbody bring a sophisticated touch and make this bag all the more edgy. In addition to that, the size is just perfect for carrying all your must-haves.

So if you’re thinking of commencing this year as stylishly as you can, consider this trendy Alexander Wang Rocco Mini Duffle Bag. It’s a little bit pricey, but just take a look at what you’re getting—it’s worth it, I’d say. After all, you need to treat yourself every now and then, don’t you?

Kate Bosworth: Mulberry and a Leopard Crossbody

Roselle — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 07:00:40 +0000

Kate Bosworth was a bare-faced beauty at the Mulberry LA Pool Party held last July 20. She even wore a casual get up to go with the no-make up look.

But although she was looking rather ordinary, she still stole the spotlight with her stunning leopard printed crossbody, probably from the brand’s recent collection.

I like how she dressed up and brightened up her look. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen her do such a thing. We’ve seen her wear a bright colored crossbody to dress up a plain outfit before.

I guess you could say it’s a little sneaky too. I mean, be all dressed up in T shirt and jeans and somehow get away with not looking so good because the bag looks soooo darn fabulous. I wouldn’t mind taking such a cue from her though, sneaky or not. Which is why I went about searching for these:

Kate Bosworth Fashions the Mini on Her Final Day at Coachella

Roselle — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 07:00:30 +0000

On her 3^rd and last day at Coachella, celebrity style icon Kate Bosworth fashioned a look that was simple and easy – a lace tee over some tank, and a pair of denim shorts.

To cap off the look, she used a really cute mini crossbody bag with a scalloped flap in tan and blue combo. A far but beautiful cry from the simple canvas tote with leather trim she sported during Day 1 and 2.

If you look at the bag, it looks like a Chanel with its quilted frame and turnlock. But after checking the brand’s website, I found that no such bag exists. I will do further research and see if I can ID the bag.

In the meantime, if you like Kate’s mini crossbody style, let the Tory Burch Rayna Pebbled Mini Bag ease your craving. It’s as cute as Kate’s mini crossbody and it offers something more with its roomy interior, and classy gold chain strap.

It also comes in another variant that has whipstitch detailing on the flap:

Kate Bosworth: Mod and Fresh Beauty in an Orange Crossbody

Roselle — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:00:20 +0000

Here’s one celebrity I find really, really, really beautiful – Kate Bosworth. Her face is not an extraordinary one, but the more you look at her, the more beautiful she becomes. There’s just something so serene and fresh about the way she looks.

Apart from her celebrity status, her fine taste in fashion and talent for mixing pieces that turn into stylish outfits (case in point, the picture below) have earned her a fan base of fashionistas.

Even in a simple and casual 3-piece ensemble, she looks stylish and classy. But that bright orange crossbody she’s using, is what’s creating the statement, subtly elevating her look to a higher level.

So let’s take a hint from Kate – a colorful mini-crossbody bag is always a great accessory to brighten up an outfit. Plus, it functions as a container for your lipstick, compact, personal technology, bills and a few cards.

If you’re up for the look, wear a 3-piece casual ensemble like Kate’s and purchase the Ashley M Rhinestone Peace Sign Cross Shoulder Bag OR the Baekgaard City Hipster.

Baekgaard City Hipster, US$46

Both styles come in other bright and basic colors, and both are under US$50 so you’re at liberty to buy several.
