Devil Kroell clutches for Target, $29.99

Her sleek, ultraluxe python handbags and flat boots are a staple in any big-spending fashionista's wardrobe. So when we heard that award-winning accessory designer Devi Kroell would be one of the next talents collaborating with Target, our first thought was: "Wow!"

Our second: "How?"

The answer? It's all faux! Let others pay $1,500 or more for a snakeskin Kroell creation. Her versions for Target include classic hobos, oversize totes and petite clutches that are pocketbook- and animal-friendly. Everything in the line is $50 or less.

Trench coat, $39.99; bow blouse, $24.99; shorts, $29.99; bucket hat, $14.99; and embroidered duffle, $39.99, all Libertine for Target

If that isn't enough to get you to Target, how about this: July also marks the debut of the Libertine for Target collection. Libertine has been a fashion insider's label since designers Cindy Greene and Johnson Hartig started splashing graphics on reworked vintage pieces back in 2001. The Target collection will include clothing inspired by their collections, as well as home-decor items and accessories.
