Carlos Falchi's limited-edition line at Target, featuring everything from chic hobos and easy-to-carry cross-body styles to perfectly-sized shoulder bags, captures the slouchy, boho chic styles the designer has been known for since he started in the Seventies.

The look may be luxe (keep in mind the bags are not real leather), but the price? Just $19.99 to $49.99.

Falchi, who was major in the Seventies and Eighties and has recently caught the attention of stylish dressers like Sienna Miller and Eva Longoria Parker, also has a collection at HSN called Chi.

His collection for the shopping channel spans more than just handbags—there are handbags, of course, plus jewelry, shoes, apparel and accessories. These caged high heel ankle boots are part of the Chi collection and cost $69.90. Carlos Falchi Cage High Heel Ankle Boots; Photo courtesy of HSN.com

Having grown up in the Eighties, I've always been a fan of Carlos Falchi's exotic leather bags. I'm super psyched about his revival and love his cheap chic lines for Target and HSN.

What do you think? Love, loathe, only want the real thing—or will the cheap chic fix do?
