Is Dakota Johnson about to become a bagfluencer? Amid a sea of look-at-me designer pieces decked out in flashy keychains (AKA Jane Birkinyfing), the Loser Baby director keeps returning to the same understated carry-all: a brown suede shoulder bag that's the perfect accessory for any autumn look.

Just in the past few weeks, Dakota has styled it with an olive trench and reddish-brown cords…

A fur coat, light jeans and a Mets cap…

She even used it to punch up a Canadian Tuxedo, which you can see here, for a stroll that was almost certainly sponsored by The Row, a brand and ambassador match made in heaven. Dakota Johnson is so The Row and The Row is so Dakota Johnson.

So yeah, that's where the bag is from, and it appears to be sold out in that fabric and costs a thousand dollars, but where there's a will there's a dupe. This girlie, from Reformation, is half the price and not quite the same colour, Anthropologie's has the same hue, if not texture, and Jigsaw's Heckfield Tote comes close. So, we got options.

Love that Johnson re-uses pieces she loves. It's sustainable and helps her define her style. She doesn't do gimmicky “method dressing,” she just dresses like Dakota Johnson all the time. You know a sheer Gucci corset hate to see her coming.
