Jennifer Lawrence was the epitome of city-girl cool when she stepped out in New York this past weekend with husband Cooke Maroney, wearing a bohemian-inspired ensemble that included a coral-hued T-shirt, a headscarf wrapped around her waist like a belt, and Heaven Mayhem‘s glossy Margaux Sunglasses. But our eyes couldn’t help but settle on another key aspect of her effortlessly tasteful look: the suede tote she was hauling around, which comes from the celebrity-magnet brand Liffner, a long-time favorite of editors and fashion insiders alike.

Lawrence’s Liffner tote of choice was the brand’s Tall Sprout Tote in black suede: a subtly slouchy, mid-sized number that’s the latest handbag to join Liffner’s Sprout collection. Currently 30 percent off, the $486 carryall was not only able to tie together Lawrence’s elevated yet breezy summertime outfit but also allowed her to nail the ongoing suede tote bag trend.

Since last fall, the suede bag trend has taken off immensely, and tastemaking celebrities are already behind it: from Anya Taylor-Joy, who matched an oversized suede tote with a brown leather trench earlier this year in the perfect display of texture mixing, to Bella Hadid, who went with a suede bag that layered in some ’70s-era fringe and stud embellishments this past May. The overall recent virality of suede tote bags like Madewell‘s The Essential Bucket Tote and Coach’s Brooklyn Shoulder Bag makes it clear that the appeal extends beyond Hollywood. The latter was deemed the second hottest product for 2024’s Q3 in the Lyst Index, meaning suede handbags have been making waves for a while now, and the trend shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon — with J.Law proving you can wear suede in the summertime, too.

While most of the trending suede bags we’ve seen typically feature a color palette of browns, chestnuts, or tans, Lawrence opted for Liffner’s Tall Sprout Tote in a uniform black suede that’s able to better mesh with an all-black wardrobe (or else let your brighter closet staples do all the talking, while making any potential stains or wear-and-tear marks look less obvious).

Along with its of-the-moment look, what makes the Tall Sprout Tote stand out is its impressive versatility: easily transitioning from the office to workout classes to date nights. Spacious enough to hold a 13-inch laptop, it also includes an internal zip pocket for smaller essentials like lip glosses or mascara. A nine-inch handle drop ensures the bag tucks comfortably under your arm for all-day wear. While practicality is key when choosing a tote, style matters too, and this Liffner bestseller delivers on both fronts. Gold hardware adds contrast to the rich suede, while artful stitching lends a polished finish.

Liffner, a Stockholm-based affordable bag brand founded in 2012 by Paulina Liffner von Sydow, banks on Scandinavian minimalism mixed with Italian craftsmanship of the highest degree and silhouettes that feed into today’s top bag styles. As a result, it’s been a go-to brand for fashion insiders and editors since inception. Every offering is quiet luxury at its finest: sculptural, sophisticated, yet never logo-centric or too showy. You might have heard of the brand referred to as Little Liffner, in which case you weren’t just imagining that first part of the name. Von Sydow recently dropped the “Little,” perhaps to signify that there’s nothing small or humble about her handbags’ meteoric rise to fame.

Hailey Bieber styled a Liffner top-handle tote when she was meeting the French president; Taylor Swift donned the Maccheroni Saddle Bag, not available online as of now, to a Chiefs game last year; Kendall Jenner sported a green, croc-effect bag from the brand as the cherry on top of her green leather pants and retro runners combo; and many other A-listers followed suit in embracing Liffner’s head-turning selections. In fact, it’s not Lawrence’s first rodeo when it comes to owning and flaunting a Liffner crowd favorite. She’s been spotted with the Belted Bucket Bag (also in suede) back in March, this time pairing the item with a Dior coat, Loewe sneakers, and baggy trousers from La Ligne.

All Liffner bags are handcrafted in small batches outside of Florence, Italy, using ethically sourced materials with a small environmental footprint. Top styles that rake up thousands of views on TikTok include Lawrence’s Tall Sprout Tote and Belted Bucket Bag, yes, but also the asymmetrical and glamorous Tulip Shoulder Bag, the Mini Leather Basket (a nod to the current woven bag fascination), and the Sprout Tote Micro (whose compact size works well with your most prized possessions, while sacrificing none of that suede-powered allure).

If you’re looking to secure a handbag upgrade that oozes luxury in an understated way while benefitting not only your personal style but also your wallet, Liffner is the way to go, and the J.Law–approved Tall Sprout Tote is the ultimate suede tote for transitioning your wardrobe from summer to fall.
