NEW YORK, Nov 8, 2009 / FW/ — Known for his use of exotic skins, fine leathers and inventive finishes and tanning techniques, Carlos Falchi was a costume designer for the likes of Elvis Presley and Mick Jagger before launching a career in accessory design.

Already loved by fashionistas around the world, Carlos Falchi collaborates with Target for a one-time collection to bring stylish finds at guilt-free prices to fashionistas nationwide.

This unbelievably low-priced, chic collection is the ninth handbag launch in a series of limited-time-only accessories at Target. The Carlos Falchi for Target collection will be available at most Target stores nationwide and at Target.com beginning November 1 through December 27, 2009.

“Target is such a great instrument to provide high style at an affordable price,” says Falchi. “They ensured my vision came to life by using innovative materials, resulting in a collection that is timeless and distinctive, perfect for working women on-the-go with an appreciation for remarkable design.”

The Carlos Falchi for Target collection features the designer’s vivid combinations of color, pattern and texture in deep hues and jewel-tones on signature silhouettes. Hobos, satchels, shoulder and messenger bags in shades of plum, teal, brown, black and gray, are elegant yet functional with interior compartments and pockets large enough to fit everyday needs.

The exotic collection features Falchi’s iconic collage techniques and python-inspired solid prints finished with intricate stitch detailing at amazingly affordable prices. The Carlos Falchi for Target collection ranges in price from $19.99 to $49.99, in comparison to the high-end line which can cost as much as $4,000 per piece.
