I’m a handbag snob, and this $30 one looks like a $4,400 luxury version

Handbags are my ultimate weakness. I easily own more than 20; it’s my favorite part of any outfit. Take an LBD, for example. Changing my purse every time I wear it gives me a completely new feeling, so in theory it helps me get the most out of my clothes (it’s kind of like saving money #girlmath).

I don’t want to play favorites, but one of my newest finds that I can’t stop wearing is the A New Day Soft Crossbody Handbag from Target. The buttery-soft $30 style is just as luxurious as some of my expensive designer bags, and it’s so similar to Bottega Veneta’s $4,400 small Jodie bag that I’ve had on my wish list for a while.

A New Day Soft Crossbody Handbag

While I love a designer handbag, my wallet? Not really. Target is one of my favorite retailers to shop for high-end, affordable, and well-designed adjacent options. I purchased the woven crossbody bag in cream to ensure it would match my mostly neutral wardrobe, but it also comes in a bright beige and coral orange, perfect for summer.

The bag is not only stylish but extremely spacious. It holds all my essentials, with extra space for larger items like my Kindle, iPad, portable charger, and water bottle. It also features a handy interior pocket for safely storing my small essentials, like my card holder and smartphone. One buyer agreed and said it was “very easy to throw anything in there.”

A standout feature of this bag is its long strap which is comfortable and roomy without being too tight (a problem I’ve had with many bags in the past). Other reviewers called it “the perfect dupe” for designer styles and “perfect for spring and summer.” One person loves this style so much that she “couldn’t stop wearing it.”

Shop the Slouchy Crossbody Bag, my new go-to summer style, and keep scrolling for more handbags that shoppers love at Target.
