Malia Obama is keeping the outfit inspiration coming. Just a few days after being spotted out and about with sister Sasha in coordinating brown leather jackets, the star was seen having lunch with a friend at All Time Diner in Los Feliz wearing the perfect carryall bag.
This time around, Obama traded her long brown leather jacket for a timeless black version. She wore the piece over a striped brown and orange sweater with a white shirt collar peeking through, light wash loose jeans, and trendy black sneakers. However, without a doubt, the pièce de résistance was her slouchy scoop tote bag in a chocolate brown suede.
An everyday staple, Obama's bag is the perfect inspiration if you were looking for a new work or school bag that won't sacrifice style — because we all love a good backpack, but sometimes they don't go with the look! — or if you are someone who carries around a lot of trinkets in your everyday bag.
Not only is Malia Obama's pick practical and stylish, but it's also timeless — and the perfect proof is the fact that she's been seen with the same bag for literal years. Back in April 2024, she was seen toting this same bag around while taking acting classes in Culver City. In September 2023, she was also photographed with the bag while having lunch at Erewhon.
Suede slouchy tote bags come in every color you can imagine, so if you want to tap into the style but give it your own flair with a pop of color, go for a green or blue option. If you want a classic hue, browns are your safest bet. These bags are super easy to thrift, so we definitely recommend giving your local store a look if you want to find a gem but if you want to go straight to it, we've also rounded up some of our favorite options in the market.
