The $55 Gap Bag I'm Buying to Emulate Dakota Johnson's $1190 Version

Pardon this brief interruption from sweater and leather weather fashion updates, but this is important: We've just come across the best buy of the season, and it doesn't fall into either category.

Dakota Johnson officially put suede accessories on the top of our wish list thanks to a casual-cool tote by The Row. Recently, the actress stepped out wearing a denim-on-denim getup paired with black loafers and a supremely chic brown bag made of the softest suede—at nearly $1200, it's certainly a splurge. However, our eagle-eyed editors spotted a strikingly similar style for way, way less.

Right now, you can score a celeb-worthy bag for a steal. Gap's vegan suede slouchy tote bag just debuted and is priced at a rather reasonable $55. Between the stellar style and additional savings, there's no doubt this perfect fall tote is about to fly off shelves both IRL and online.
