TARGET HANDBAG
The other day I came across this post on my new cyber-friend's blog called FASHION ME CHIC.
Proenza Shouler Versus Target
It is not news that knockoffs are a huge problem for designers. With the economy still in bad shape, knockoffs are more than ever before in demand.
The latest company in the news for its knockoff bag is Target. A bag similar to the Proenza Shouler PS1 has been spotted in some of its stores. Target and Proenza Shouler have worked together in past edition of Go International Line. This month, a few pieces of that collaboration was re-released by Target to celebrate the program' s fifth anniversary.
“So our product is in Target right now, and then this bag comes out,” chief exec Shirley Cook told the Times. “It’s just disappointing, especially from someone we worked with.”
The Target Mossimo bag retails for $34.99 while the Proenza Shouler PS1 bag retails for $1595 -$2350.
Below you can see the Target one in dark brown and the Proenza shouler in a lighter color.
Well I just had to check out the Target version because I am one of those girl's with Champagne taste and a Kool-Aid wallet! lol So I went to my nearest Tar-Jay and "BAM" there was the bag! They had it in several colors....camel, off white, gray, army green and black. I purchased the off white one. I have not used the bag yet but I can tell you that you most def get what you pay for quality wise. I think it will make a great occasional bag (blog outfit) but I don't think it will stand the test of time nor gravity in my case - being that I put everything but the kitchen sink in my purses. It's very roomy inside (sorry I didn't get pics of the inside) and feels soft to the touch. I did notice that it has a funny smell like rubber or plastic that I hope fades with time. What do you think?

I love that tan is in! And I'm not talking about snooki tan, I mean nude tan. Last year, it was all about cognac tones, but I'm happily welcoming the lighter colors. :)
Cheers,
