Rafe New York by Rafe Totengco for Target

Rafe Totengco has made every budget fashionista’s dream come true. He has designed a stylish, yet affordable line for Target.  The Rafe for Target line is priced to sell between $19.99-$49.99
whereas his regular line retails between $200-$600. Big difference!

The Rafe (pronounced “RAH-fee") handbag line at Target is available for a limited time and is selling out fast! Get one while you can. 

Rafe has a blog, here’s an excerpt from his post on his new line for Target:

Can I tell you… about Rafe For Target? Seems my limited edition collaboration with the mass retailer has made a lot of news, and I just wanted to chime in about it.

Doing this limited, capsule collection wasn’t a quick decision on my part, but I have to say that the current climate of high end designers doing similar lines for mass retailers definitely helped me decide to do it. Karl Lagerfeld for H&M comes to mind first, but so many highly respected names have done it as well: Victor & Rolf and Stella McCartney have done it for H&M too, and Uniqlo is coming up with a few formidable designers for its upcoming season. Even in the Target stable, we have Paul & Joe, Behnaz Sarafpour, Luella Bartley, Tara Jarmon, Isaac Mizrahi, Thomas O’brien, and Tord Boontje, a prestigious group I am proud to be part of. - Rafe Totengco (Can I tell You...)

Not all reviews of the bags are glowing… The Budget Fashionista says the bags are not the best quality and $40 bucks is a bit much to spend for a pleather handbag of questionable quality. and The Fashionist says they look cheap and dated.

We’ll let you be the judge. Find Rafe at a Target near you or check them out online
