Sneak Peek: Carlos Falchi for Target
Target has finally posted some preview pictures of their upcoming Carlos Falchi for Target line. From their website: "Carlos Falchi has redefined the world of luxury handbags. His new lush, inventive pieces for Target bring top-shelf looks at guilt-free low prices."
But for even a better look, check out the look-book posted over at The Budget Babe. I have to say that while all these bags look terrific, seeing them in person will be the true test. Target has been known to skimp-out on their materials in the past, especially with their designer bags. And faux-snakeskin can look particularly "plastic" if not done well. We'll have to wait until the line hits stores on Nov. 1st to see for ourselves.
UPDATE: Reader Monica reports that her local store in Southern California put the Falchi collection out early, and that it is indeed a dissappointment. Likewise, Racked.com found a few Falchi out at the Atlantic Terminal (NY) store, and says "don't expect killer quality".
I have been so disappointed in their handbag collaboration quality! The other accessories will be great, but you're right that the materials can look so cheap on the bags.
ReplyDeleteI thought the quality was terrible, I wrote a review a while back:

Monica, thanks for sharing your first-hand review. And I can't believe that store put out the bags 3 weeks ago!! What a letdown to hear that true to my fears, the quality isn't up to par. Oh well...
ReplyDeleteI was excited to see them out so early but I couldn't bring myself to buy one :( Thanks for the link to my blog!
