Target launches $80 genuine suede leather bag collection
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 news.com.au: '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.

Nostalgic reason Aussies are heading to Japan
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. If you haven't been to Japan this year, chances are you know someone who has. According to the Japan National Tourism Organisation, the first few months of 2025 saw 429,000 Australian arrivals in Japan - a 28.6% increase from the same period in 2024. And, there are plenty of reasons for this. Japan has delicious food, a unique blend of modern and traditional experiences, and a great exchange rate. But, it turns out there's one more nostalgic aspect drawing Aussies there - and honestly, it might convince me. Want to join the family? Sign up to our Kidspot newsletter for more stories like this. Image: TikTok / @maybemackenzie RELATED: Aussies sick of frustrating act targeting bushland 'They have the cheese toast!' Aussie TikTok creator @maybemackenzie shared his experience this week heading to a Sizzler in Japan. 'When I saw there was a Sizzler in Japan, I thought, I have to go in,' he said. 'And, they have the cheese toast!' An absolute Aussie icon - despite first opening in the US back in 1958 - Sizzler was open Down Under from 1985 until November 2020, when it was unfortunately a victim of the pandemic. 'I'm pretty sure every Australian has been to Sizzler, and I really miss it,' he said. A Sizzler restaurant in Brookside, QLD before its closure in 2017. Image: Josh Woning. 'I think I need to go to Japan now' Aussies in the comments were shocked to see a Sizzler in Japan. 'I'm beyond jealous, you win at life,' said one person. 'THE CHEESE TOAST,' another said. 'I miss Sizzler so much,' said a third (and don't we all). 'MY CHILDHOOD,' another commenter said. Others said they hoped they'd be able to incorporate it into their own Japan trips. 'Excuse me sir WHERE IS THIS - research purposes obvi,' one person said. 'I think I need to go to Japan now,' said another. 'That's it, I'm going to Japan for Sizzler,' another person said. They're everywhere! In (kinda) good news for Aussies, it's not just in Japan that you can find a Sizzler. Once upon a time, you could find Sizzlers in Taiwan, Indonesia, Singapore, and China - in addition to Australia. However, all of these have now closed. Now, there remain locations in Japan, Thailand, and across the United States. Originally published as Nostalgic reason Aussies are heading to Japan

Oh Too Good owners will celebrate a Winter Championship Final win with a party in Bali
Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. Oh Too Good could inspire a rebrand of the Winx Sports Bar in Bali on Saturday, with victory in the Listed Winter Championship Series Final (1600m) at Flemington. One-horse trainer Kevin Daffy, wife Christine and daughters Jade and Amber will be trackside while Rick Bayliss, a long-time friend and part-owner of Oh Too Good, will be cheering from afar. 'He'll be watching it from the Winx (Sports) Bar in Bali (Seminyak) … hopefully we might be able to rename it to the Oh Too Good Bar tomorrow,' Daffy said. 'The 16 of them (Bayliss family) are going to be cheering her on from there.' • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Oh Too Good is $2.80 favourite to win the Listed Winter Championship Series Final from Jimmy The Bear ($6), Cafe Millenium ($6.50) and Yellow Sam ($9.50). Daffy, 'Australia's smallest trainer', was compelled to target the Winter Championship after Oh Too Good won brilliantly last start at Flemington. Jimmy The Bear, who finished second, has won since. 'I guess you can't get much smaller than one horse,' Daffy laughed. 'It's a bit of a novelty for some people … they can't believe it really, it is quite unique, quite special.' • Egan chasing more success with Payne team on Finals day Oh Too Good has earned $569,450 with five wins and five minor places from 11 starts. The five-year-old, affectionately known as 'GiGi' at home, has also become a social media sensation, thanks to Daffy's eldest daughter, Jade. 'Jade started a bit of social media with her this week, and it went nuts. She's quite clever,' Daffy said. 'She came up with a couple cute little videos on Instagram and TikTok … one had 50,000 views and 5000 likes, with people from all over the world commenting.' The viral 72-second clip on the Ohtoogoodracehorse TikTok account celebrates Daffy's dedication to the 'diva' with behind the scenes footage and a witty script. 'GiGi only likes two things,' the video voiceover states. 'Winning (and) Kevin … everyone else, tolerated at best.' Daffy is rarely too far from the mare. 'No one else touches this horse, ever, that's why I never let her out of my sight,' Daffy said. 'I do hire a strapper to come with me race day but that's more to go and get the saddle, run the colours up, and help do a few little things I need done. 'She frets if I get too far away from her … she's getting better. When she first went to the races I couldn't walk across from the stall to the fence to talk to anybody, she wouldn't be happy. 'She does at least let me do that a bit now.' • Flemington Saturday tips, analysis: $9.50 best bet Despite saddling the favourite, Daffy has respect for the entire field on Saturday. 'No matter what the market says, they're all good horses,' Daffy said. 'I'd be foolish to think I'd be going to a Listed race at Flemington with confidence of winning … I'm happy I'm going there with a horse in the best shape, as happy and as healthy as I could have her. 'With some luck in running, she'll definitely be right in the finish and hopefully winning.' Trainer Kevin Daffy with Oh Too Good and jockey Ben Allen at Flemington last month. Picture: Getty Images He also praised jockey Ben Allen for his commitment to stick with Oh Too Good. Allen brought forward a suspension, had to forgo bulk rides to do so, and all but made the 54kg cut. 'He will be riding her a little bit over the 54kg … that will depend on how he is tomorrow.' Daffy said. 'She could potentially be carrying 55kg, worst case. He's been so committed to wanting to ride her, I didn't ask him to do that because I know how difficult it is for jockeys but he wanted to do it. 'Set himself the task to get down to ride … I really appreciate that and hopefully she can repay him.'

Usher cancels Australian tour just weeks after tickets went on sale
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music Tours. Followed categories will be added to My News. Usher has abruptly cancelled his Australian tour just weeks after tickets went on sale. The US hip-hop star, 46, was set to bring his Past, Present, Future tour to Sydney and Melbourne from November this year, with tour promoter Live Nation confirming the 12 shows will no longer be going ahead. 'We regret to advise USHER's Australian tour, scheduled to take place in November/ December, will no longer be proceeding,' a spokesperson said. 'All ticket holders will receive an automatic refund. For any further refund enquires please contact your point of purchase.' The Live Nation website has since removed Usher's Australian tour page from its website, with users presented with a '404' error message. Usher has cancelled his Australian tour. Picture:Ticket-holders also received an email from Ticketek on Friday saying the promoter had pulled the pin on the tour, with no reason given as to why. 'The promoter of USHER's Australian Tour regrets to advise that the scheduled shows to take place in November/ December, will no longer be proceeding,' the email read. 'All tickets purchased (including refundable ticket purchases, if relevant) will be automatically refunded in full to the original payment method used. Customers do not need to take any action. 'Customers who purchased tickets at a Ticketek Agency or using Ticketek Gift Vouchers, have been contacted to the email address of their Ticketek account to request additional information so we can process your refund.' A spokesperson added it would take up to 30 business days for refunds to process. That same statement is also on the Usher landing page on Ticketek's website. It's important to note Ticketek is only responsible for the sale of tickets. Usher's tour was a long time coming for fans of the artist, who last hosted a headline tour in Australia in 2011. While it's unclear if tickets were selling well, it seemed as though pre-sale tickets were in demand, with Usher's team adding several more concert dates. Usher was set to perform 12 shows in Sydney and Melbourne. Picture:for Live Nation The eight-time Grammy winner was primed to play six concerts at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena, and a further six at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena. Usher is yet to address the cancellation on social media. Fans flooded TikTok after receiving the email, with one user claiming she 'wasn't surprised' by the cancellation. 'They were so overzealous with the amount of shows they were doing, the prices, they really were not selling,' TikTok user Jacinda Chenelle said. Supporters were disheartened when tickets went on sale, with many shocked to realise how expensive seats were. The OMG singer's 'Ultimate Meet and Greet VIP Lounge Experience' was marketed at a whopping $2792.85, while premium reserve seating was priced at $530.05. Other ticket prices included more affordable seating at around $220. Originally published as Fans devastated as Usher cancels Australian tour just weeks after tickets went on sale
