Carlos Falchi for Target Faux Snakeskin Satchel

Last Friday, I received this amazing Carlos Falchi for Target Large Faux-Snakeskin Satchel in black, signed by Carlos Falchi himself. I was kinda skeptical about getting any of the faux-snakeskin bags when it releases on Sunday, November 1st, but after seeing and feeling the bag in person I was surprised how good it looked. The bag does not look cheap at all, looks quite real too. The bags feature Falchi’s iconic collage techniques and python-inspired solid prints finished with intricate stitch detailing. For $49.99 you can’t go wrong, def going to be shopping online this Sunday for the Cross-Body Collage Bag. Check out the full collection preview here. Do you like the bags?

 Mulberry x Apple Laptop + iPhone/iPod Bags

On Friday we posted the Mulberry x Apple Bayswater Laptop Bag, here’s a preview of the full collection. The 9-piece collection includes MacBook & MacBook Pro bags and sleeves and mini cross-bags for
iPhone or iPod Touch. These accessories for men and women retain the coveted exteriors of Mulberry icons like the Bayswater for women and the Brynmore for men but the insides have been enhanced with features like padding, pockets and headphone access. The collection includes bags in Mulberry’s natural leathers as well as MacBook & MacBook Pro sleeves and small bags in the season’s colors or a bold smudged leopard print. Prices range from $250 – $1195. The accessories will be available on apple.com on November 1st and mulberry.com on December 1st.

Deciding to develop the collection was a no-brainer for Mac user Emma Hill, Mulberry’s Creative Director she said, “Mulberry have a legacy of craftsmanship and I’m thrilled to launch our first luxury collection for a whole host of Apple products including the MacBook, iPhone and iPod”

I kinda want a Bayswater Laptop Bag, perfect for traveling. Would you splurge $550 to $1195 for one? What’s your thoughts? Hmm…
