If you’ve ever completely lost track of time in the shoe or purse aisle at T.J. Maxx, then you’ve lived through the true T.J. Maxx shopper experience. Heading into the department store after a long workday isn’t a should-do, it’s a must-do. Especially since T.J. Maxx is famous for having an abundance of clearance items, super cute home decor, hidden gem clothing finds, and designer lookalikes that go viral online — all because they’re sold at an affordable price.
With this shopper experience being so universally beloved, customers have a field day posting their successful clothing hauls online.
T.J. Maxx Bottega Veneta Dupe Details
The latest T.J. Maxx craze is on this $40 handbag, which is pretty much a spitting image of the $3,500 Bottega Veneta Teen Jodie purse (and, spoiler alert, it’s perfectly adorable). The designer bag has been worn by celebs like Emma Roberts, Hailey Bieber, Sydney Sweeney, Reese Witherspoon and so many more.
One TikToker, @madssteffano, revealed the latest T.J. Maxx items that were put on shelves for the upcoming fall season, including the popular woven shoulder bag in sage green. Similar to Bottega Veneta’s, the bag features a large knot in the handle and a top zipper to hold your essentials.
“I also love the size,” the content creator said in the video. “It’s kind of like a statement piece, but I can still fit my phone, keys, [and] lip gloss. Literally, everything that I need will fit in here.” Commenters are incredibly excited about the find, as one said, “I’m on the hunt for the green purse,” while another wrote, “I’ve been dying for that bag.”
Luckily, if an olive-like green isn’t your preferred colorway, the bag has been seen in other shades, such as dark maroon and cream. This TikTok from @tamsy.k showcased black and tan shade variations, which are the perfect staple wardrobe pieces — and not just for the fall season.
“This plum is tea,” another creator, @dakotaj_, said of the handbag. “Because the [employee] said plum and olive are the colors for this fall. Speechless.” Consider us easily influenced!
Where You Can Get This Trending T.J. Maxx Bag
This bag has been spotted in both T.J. Maxx and Marshalls. And, like you’d assume, you’ll have to run to your local store — and cross your fingers — to see if the handbag is in stock. If you can’t find the bag at your nearest T.J. Maxx or Marshalls, it never hurts to ask an employee when it might be available or if they’ve seen it around the store. Who knows? They may even have one sitting in the back or lying around the dressing rooms!
According to our TikTok research, the bag has recently been spotted in Connecticut, Texas, and Puerto Rico stores.

Oftentimes, the department store does receive new product shipments daily, so there’s a good chance that you can find at least one colorway of the purse.
However, if you’re as impatient as we are to get your hands on this viral accessory, then you can actually purchase the dark red colorway on the retailer’s website. The $40 Woven Knot Detail Oversized Shoulder Bag features gold-tone hardware with a top-carry handle. It’s the perfect statement purse that can go from chic to everyday casual! T.J. Maxx notes that this bag is usually priced at $67, so not only are you paying way less than you would for a Bottega Veneta, but you’re paying less than you potentially would buying the bag elsewhere too.

T.J. Maxx Is Known To Sell Similar Styles to Luxury Brands
Aside from the incredibly high price tag, the true difference between Bottega Veneta and T.J.Maxx’s handbags comes down to the materials used and craftsmanship. The Bottega Veneta Teen Jodie purse features real leather consisting of lambskin and calfskin adorned with silver hardware (versus gold-toned). It’s offered in five colorways — black, fondant, porridge, dark praline, and travertine — and four sizes at various price points — candy, mini, teen and small. Meanwhile, the Lulla Collection lookalike is not made from leather, the lining material won’t be the same quality as the Bottega Veneta bag and it is available in just one size. In terms of style though, there are visually few differences, making this viral T.J. Maxx dupe a deal you won’t want to miss out on.
