Target launches $80 genuine suede leather bag collection
An $80 bag from Target is quickly becoming a favourite among shoppers, offering genuine suede leather at a fraction of the price of many luxury alternatives. Suede is all the rage currently this winter in Australia, from suede loafers to suede bomber jackets, but finding genuine leather ones is a costly affair. For example, the Sienna Brown Suede bag from Vestirsi retails for $349, and the Tony Bianco Mily Espresso Suede Tote costs $249, which is why when Target dropped their own version of the suede over-the-shoulder bag, TikTokers lost their minds. TikToker can't believe her find One user, Emma Vosti, took to TikTok to rave about the find, saying: 'You will not believe what I got at Target yesterday. You just won't'. 'It came in its own dust bag,' she explained in awe as she pulled out the Chocolate Premium Suede Leather Slouch Shoulder Bag. She particularly loved all the small details that gave the bag a luxe touch. 'It's got lining on the bottom. It's a beautiful colour. It's got the stitching detail. Are you kidding me?' she raved, before showing a tag inside the bag that said 'suede leather'. The comments echoed her excitement, with one person saying they even left work early to go buy it. Others described it as 'beautiful' and 'chic'. Another simply said 'sold'. One fan admitted, 'I didn't realise Target did leather bags'. Influencer Steph Claire Smith even joined in on the hype and declared: 'That's a win'. Another commenter revealed, 'I truly have never been so quickly influenced. Bought it but have to find a way to drive to the town three hours away'. 'What I'm shocked!!!' said someone else. 'Going right now,' wrote another shopper. Target's new suede range Carrie Kirkman, General Manager of Merchandise at Target Australia, told 'At Target, we're passionate about giving our customers access to on-trend, high-quality pieces that are effortless and elevated – but importantly also affordable. 'Our new range of suede bags delivers on all fronts – it's made from genuine leather with that soft, velvety texture everyone loves, and is available in a fresh seasonal palette.' She said the first drop of bags is still arriving in stores across the country and landing online next week, but she's loving seeing the hype online already. 'It's been great to see the early response from our social media community. My personal favourite is the Suede Leather Slouch Shoulder Bag – it instantly elevates any look and, at just $80 for genuine suede, is at an incredible price point,' she said. The details The Premium Suede Leather Slouch Shoulder Bag is available in two colours, sand and chocolate. Crafted from soft, premium suede leather, it features a relaxed, slouchy silhouette and a thick, comfortable shoulder strap, making it ideal for carrying essentials throughout the day. Another popular bag in the collection is the Crescent Shoulder Bag, priced at $45, which is available in tan, chocolate, sand, and khaki. It's smaller than the shoulder bag, but still large enough to hold everyday essentials like your phone, wallet, and keys. The Bucket Tote Bag is another bag in the range, coming in three colours: tan, chocolate and khaki and also priced at $80. It features a large, rectangular design and an inner, removable small purse with a zip top closure. With genuine suede leather at such accessible prices, we're going to use the cliche here and say 'run don't walk' – as these bags are sure to fly off the shelves.

The celebrity stylist-approved 'IT' item from Target shoppers can't get enough of: 'Wow I need it'
Fashion-forward Aussies and celebrity stylists alike are rushing to Target this winter for not only budget basics, but also the incredible range of coats. Celebrity stylist Donny Galella shared a video showcasing all his latest favourite finds inside the store, including one of the must-have jacket styles of the season. Known for dressing some of Australia's most stylish stars, including the odd Hollywood A-lister like Drew Barrymore and Leanne Rimes, Donny is a master of finding affordable pieces that punch well above their weight. This winter, it seems fashion is leaning into rich textures, and suede is leading the pack. Soft, structured, and seriously stylish, suede is bringing an elevated, tactile quality to any outfit and whether real or faux, suede adds a luxurious feel that looks expensive, even when it's not. 'It's all about the suede bomber this season,' Donny told his followers in the video, showing off Target's Faux Suede Bomber Jacket ($60) before grabbing more eye-catching styles off the rack. Incredibly, the 'IT' design looks almost identical to Henne's cult-favourite Mara Suede Bomber, which comes with an eye-watering $349 price tag. 'This is the beautiful off-white colour,' he added, spinning round the trending bomber style that has been flying off shelves.

At first glance, the similarities between the two are striking. They have the same oversized silhouette, the same luxe suede texture, and that same effortlessly cool vibe that shoppers can't get enough of. But it's the price tag that's turning heads, with fashion lovers scoring the look for less than a sixth of the designer version. Donny also recommended the Target Faux Suede Trench Coat ($70), made from the same luxe-looking fabric, to showcase its versatility in a different silhouette. '[And] a gorgeous caramel trench in suede with a belt,' he added. 'I should say 'faux suede, not actually real-leather suede.' The on-trend colours, textures, flattering cuts, and easy wearability had Donny's followers agreeing to his top-picks in the comments. 'Ahhh I need that trench, wowww,' one wrote. 'Absolute need,' commented another with multiple love heart emojis. While the tan and off-white shades are clearly favourites, Target's wider coat range also includes faux leather blazers, oversized shackets, and puffers in earthy winter tones, highlighting the brand has seriously stepped up its outerwear game. With sizes ranging from 6 to 26 in many pieces, the retailer continues to champion inclusive fashion at accessible prices, appealing to the everyday Australian shopper. These jackets can transform a simple outfit into something more elevated, all for under $70 each. It's proof that you don't have to break the bank to look high-end, and Donny has confirmed these suede jackets are set to become the season's biggest style steals.
