faux snakeskin

Target knows it's possible to find hot handbags under $100. The megastore has just tapped Carlos Falchi for its next handbag designer collaboration. If you know Carlos, you're familiar with his signature faux and real snakeskin handbags retailing upwards of $400. Come Oct. 11, we can nab the same decadence at Target for a lot less — yay! Falchi's budget-friendly collection will consist of 13 faux snakeskin bags in juicy jewel tones, such as plum and teal, along with a couple of collage and patchwork styles.

Last time, the Lauren Merkin Tote beckoned you to the beach. This time around, this Devi Kroell for Target Gold Clutch, $30, is advising you to attend a fancy-schmancy party! Summer is full of soirees so finding one shouldn't be a problem. And looking for a purse won't be either because this gold clutch is in everyone's budget.

Unlike so many faux things out there, the faux snakeskin on this clutch doesn't scream "fake" or "cheap." The thin chain strap can be hidden in the bag or can be worn around the shoulder, depending on what look you want. Best of all, if someone asks you who makes your bag, you can confidently say "Devi Kroell;" you can leave out the "for Target" part and they won't even know!
