Match Point was such an intense movie. I left the theater feeling tense and needing about an hour of yoga to unwind, of course I instead opted for hot chocolate, which has more or less the same affect. It is brilliantly acted and despite some very contrived business-related conversation, well written and thoughtful. But that is not why I am posting on it…
While watching the movie, I could not take my eyes off Scarlett Johansen’s handbag, a brown, distressed leather editor bag (I wish I had a better picture) that worked so well with her different outfits and seems like the perfect all-around daytime handbag.
I found a bag that is similar in style, the Junior Editor from Roots, however the stiching makes it a bit more formal, and ScarJo’s bag’s distressed leather makes it much more slouchy, which is the handbag feature to have right now. Little details can make a lot of difference, in this case I would probably pass on the imitation and wait for something closer to the real thing.

Scar Jo’s is definitely a Mulberry Roxanne.
From the UK Sunday times:
“THE MULBERRY ROXANNE
Pushing chart-topper Marc Jacobs off last season’s number 2 slot, is the Mulberry Roxanne bag — formerly known as Roxy, until they got sued. Chunky and big on pockets and buckles, it has been described in American Vogue as the London girl’s “anti-Birkin†alternative. The bag officially became hot when Scarlett Johansson was photographed with it on the set of the new Woody Allen movie, but it has been the must-have for models, make-up artists and designers since its launch earlier this year.”
