Target has added yet another upscale label to its accessible design roster: the hip, chic Rafe New York line of shoes and bags, founded by Filipino wunderkind Rafe Totengco in 1995. For the past decade, Totengco has created edgy, urban bags in the $500 range, but with his Target line, he's bringing his distinctive style to the masses. Though these limited-edition bags are all priced under $50, they look like big-budget buys. Here's a look at the line.
Rafe Hobo in Navy, $49.99, available here.

Rafe Satchel in Vanilla, $49.99, available here.

Rafe Medium Beaded Bag, $29.99, available here.

whoo hoo! pretty purses i can afford!
1I LOVE the first two. And the clutch. Very nice!!
2I like the white purse and the clutch.
3I just Fab Found these all yesterday... I absolutely LOVE them!
4the white one and the beaded one are nice. The others have too much going on, for MY taste anyway, but I wouldn't turn my nose up if I saw someone else with them
5nice........
6Cute designs, but I'd have to see them in person... they look too low-quality for me to pay $50. Esp when the other bags at Target are $16.99 and still cute.

Impressive! But what are these made out of? Pleather?
8I'm not sure how I feel about them. They look too low-quality on here, but perhaps in person it's a whole different story!
9They look like low-quality fake leather here, but they're actually patent leather. I saw them in the store on Saturday.
I love them but I can't justify paying $50 for a bag at Target. I could swing $30, maybe.
Hopefully nobody will buy them and they'll go on sale soon!
10Oh thanks for the feedback, Whip. I would definitely consider the clutch then!
11It's funny, because I'd seen them in person, I didn't even realize how crappy they looked in the photos. But as soon as you brought it up, I was like "Oh, yeah, they DO look shoddy."
12i don't like them so much...
13whiplash - i saw your fab finds of these yesterday and ordered the black patent doctor's bag last night!
if they are already in the store, though, i may just go pick it up and cancel my online order since they said it will be a few weeks before shipping.
thanks for the truly FAB finds, whiplash!
14I'd check the store first to make sure they're in. Because I saw them in one Target on Saturday but when I was in another Target the next day, they weren't there.
Jeez, I sound like a Target addict! I was just looking for a Superman costume in my dog's size.
15Patent leather! In that case, I think I'd love the large black one! I'll have to go see them. I have to return a reject halloween costume from target.com anyway!

Fab, thanks for sharing.
Whip, Thanks for all the info. I agree with you...I'll wait for a sale.
17I Love them all, I can't wait to get out of the office to buy them all!!!! Thank you Fab!
18Good!! Its about time I see some purses I can afford lol
19Not for me.
20well, whip, i AM a target junkie. my almost two year old daughter knows the store so well...everytime we start heading toward the shopping center, she says "tar-get" (like french pronunciation).
21i guess i need to get out more!
