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 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.

First grade teacher goes viral for ‘private parts' song teaching kids where others should not touch
A teacher in Africa has gone wildly viral after singing a song to her first grade class about 'private parts,' showing them where other people should not touch. Gelda Waterboer, a teacher at Rogate Primary School in Namibia, became an overnight TikTok sensation after she posted a video of herself leading students in the sing-along — racking up a staggering 92 million views in just over a week. 'These are my private parts, private parts, private parts, these are my private parts no-one should touch them, no-one should see them,' she sang as she energetically motioned to her chest, crotch and behind. 'And if you touch my private parts, private parts, I will tell my mother, I will tell my father, I will tell my teacher,' she continued as her students sang along. Waterboer, who regularly posts TikTok videos from her classroom, was largely praised for her boundary-enforcing teaching method. 'Yes. Louder! Teaching kids to not be shy about this is so important,' one person commented on the clip. 'This is actually the level of seriousness needed for this,' another added. The teacher hit back at the few critics, though, who argued that first graders were too young to be learning about predators. 'Teaching our children to say 'no' is not just about manners – it's about protection,' Waterboer said in a follow-up video. 'Every child must know that their body belongs to them, and no one has the right to touch them in a way that feels wrong or uncomfortable.' 'It is our responsibility as adults, parents, and educators to create a safe space where children feel confident to speak up,' she added.

Mum horrified after finding ‘disturbing' hidden messages in daughter's dress
A mum has issued a warning to parents to 'look at your kids' clothing carefully before you buy them' after she found inappropriate text on her young daughter's dress. Mum Savannah posted on TikTok after she looked more closely at her child's dress, decorated with bunnies, jelly beans, chickens and messages in tiny font. 'One day, when she was napping, I figured I'd take a peek and see what they actually said,' she explained in the clip that now has over 23 million views. She was then appalled by what she saw. One of the shocking lines was: 'Want to have an Easter egg hunt under the covers?' Another with sexually charged language read: 'This coupon entitles you to one free peep show!' 'Let's pretend we're rabbits and do whatever comes naturally,' said another message, as a different one read: 'My tulips (two lips) want to be on your tulips'. The 'weirdest,' according to Savannah, said: 'You've been the best husband and friend a girl could have ever asked for'. 'WTF,' one of the top responses read, reflecting the overall sentiment in the 20,000+ comments. Others asked, 'Where did you get that?' as some described the dress as 'disturbing,' 'nasty,' and 'ew'. 'The world is so perverted now,' said another. However, a few suggested it could have been an innocent mistake. One social media user wrote: 'aww, maybe it was an accident & they accidentally wrote all that.' The brand responds After some internet digging, commenters found out the dress was made by a US small business called Lele & Co. In response, the company took down the item and issued a statement on their website. It read: 'I would like to express my deepest apologies for the inappropriate text found on one of the clothing items sold in my store. This particular piece was a resale item from a vendor, and regrettably, I did not catch the offensive wording before it was listed. 'Please rest assured that this does not align with the values I uphold or support. We are in the process of taking any and all necessary legal actions with the vendor. 'For the record, the item in question has been promptly removed from my website and all social media accounts. All remaining stock was destroyed immediately.' The brand also said they were in contact with Savannah. 'Despite the negative and hateful messages, they will not diminish the passion that founded this company. Lele & Co is facing slander based on unfounded claims. I appreciate everyone's concerns that brought this matter to my attention and allow me the opportunity to address and respond in a respectful manner,' the statement concluded. has reached out to Savannah and Lele & Co. Another clothing item criticised It's not the first time children's clothing has gone viral for seemingly inappropriate content. Last December, a Kmart $8 kids' Christmas T-shirt was criticised, dividing parents. The shirt had 'kinda naughty' printed on it, with 'naughty' in sequins. 'I'm sorry, but what is this and why is it in the kids section?' one Aussie mum said on TikTok. However, some told her it 'Wasn't that deep' and 'Everyone just thinks of things the wrong way these days'. 'There's a lot of hills to die on in relation to kids fashion. This isn't one,' another said.
