It was a busy September for many celebrities who were running from show to show at New York Fashion Week. Mindy Kaling enjoyed this year’s festivities, which included a stop at the Tory Burch show where she wore a fall-forward brown dress, matching coat and a suede bag that we could see ourselves carrying. Assuming it’s a Tory Burch accessory, it’s fair to assume it costs at least three digits. So, we looked for a more sensible option and found it in this faux suede tote bag on Amazon.
As seen in Kaling’s Instagram post, her chocolate brown suede bag has a shoulder strap and gold hardware. Its size leans large, so we bet it’s great for everyday essentials and then some. But if you don’t have a Hollywood budget, no worries! This style twin looks just as expensive.

Real suede is expensive, so this faux option on Amazon is much more affordable without skimping on style. It has two shoulder straps that makes way for a snap closure. Our favorite detail (that Kaling’s doesn’t have) is that fabric that’s woven through the top of the bag to create a slouchy yet structured style. That’s where you’ll find the gold-like hardware that looks like the more expensive version.

To get the Kaling look, opt for the brown, green or coffee shades, though we’re also tempted by the beige and burgundy hues. We love how the actress styled her bag with a monochromatic look, but as a neutral, this purse can be worn with all the cozy sweaters in your closet.
As one happy Amazon shopper pointed out, this bag isn’t deep, but it’s wide. That’s a positive in our book, because it’s easy to lose things in a depth-heavy bag. If it’s wide, though, it’s easier to see more of your items at once. Convince yet? Because we are!
