Target just dropped the A New Day Belted Top Handle Satchel, and it’s a near twin to Veronica Beard’s $698 Suede Dash Bag. Only this structured and polished style rings up at just $40, which is a massive $658 difference from the popular media darling Dash. The two bags feature a top-handle silhouette with belted detailing, a detachable shoulder strap and a roomy interior that makes them perfect for work, weekends and everything in between. The Dash is crafted from luxe Italian suede in a rich bark tone, while Target’s version comes in a creamy neutral that feels especially fresh for fall. And while the designer bag is slightly longer, Target’s satchel is deeper and taller, so it might be more functional. With its magnetic closure, interior and exterior pockets, and versatile wearability, Target’s satchel isn’t just a dupe, it’s a smart seasonal upgrade. It pairs gorgeously with tailored trousers and a blazer for a clean, work-ready look. But it also complements more relaxed outfits like jeans and a crisp button-down or a knit midi dress and ankle boots. The belted detail adds just enough visual interest without overwhelming your outfit, and the cream-and-brown palette plays well with warm earth tones and classic black or denim. It’s also a smart travel companion — roomy enough for essentials, but compact and structured enough to keep your look pulled together on the go.
