The Bag Making Us Want to Ditch Black for Brown

Meet the Calla Large Woven Shoulder Bag from Anthropologie—proof that an everyday bag definitely doesn’t have to be boring. The chocolate-brown color feels especially right for fall, while the woven texture gives it that effortlessly expensive look without feeling overly polished.

The oversized, slouchy shape is what really sells it. It has enough presence to make a simple jeans-and-tee outfit feel styled, but it’s still neutral enough to throw over your shoulder with basically anything. Think oversized knits, leather jackets, denim, ballet flats—the Calla just works.

With rich brown accessories having a major moment, this is the kind of piece that feels trendy now but won’t look dated next season. Consider your everyday black bag officially challenged.
