^That's the one I got-I love it! It looks so much prettier IRL than in the online pics.

I saw them about a week ago at my Target. When I went again last evening, I was shocked at how many had sold! So they must be very popular. I thought they were very nice, I love metallics.

Lol! I didn't even SEE that one. It was amazing, they had a bunch of the metallic ones and I was disappointed since I really wanted the purple-y one. Then I saw the other rack with only TWO of the one I got.
If I ever see that black one, I think I may just pick that one up too!

I got the gunmetal satchel and I think it is the perfect bag. I am normally not into metallics but I wanted a little punch for Fall, and for $40 and the Botkier design sense I'm all about it!

The fucscia hobo (i think) reminds me of the Nikki hobo by RM. I thought the faux snake skin looked a little cheap but the style was cute.

i just ordered the grey python satchel and the white python hobo (from Target.com) on my friend's word that the PVC plastic is actually not that bad. she bought the fuschia hobo and loves it. if nothing else, at least there's free in-store returns! :)

I am just curious as to the dimensions of the bag. It looks like a great rainy day bag. Any way, you can post some modeling pics? TIA :)

There's actually one in my collection thread here!:
Rebecca's collection

I love how roomy it is, it's so spacious. I had a large wallet, sunglass case, keycase, makeup bag and other random little things in it and it could have still fit a bunch more items in it.

my target only has the metallic bags and clutches, aww maaaaaaaan! :( the styles were cute, but i wasn't a fan of the materials. i hope that my target gets the fuschia hobo or some of the other styles. rebecca definitely sold me on the fuschia hobo w/ her pics! it took a few weeks to get some of the gryson bags in so i'm crossing my fingers!

I think it's suppose to look like Botkier's Bombay Line/ it also kind of resembles the Isis tote...I think all of the replicas- that they made - are indeed just that. The styles- are similar to that of their most popular sellers.

But my question is this- Since most of their fall line is now being done in satin or nylon (not sure). And if they are going to replicate the style for target.

Then why even buy the more expensive of the 2. When most of their line wont even be made of that beautiful leather that we love

. I hope they still continue to make new styles with more leather

Awww, I'm so proud!! Lol.

It's such a great bag, I've been using it for the last few days.

Geminiz- I think whatever is out now will be it...I don't think there will be any new styles made for Target. Just like the Gryson line had select styles then wasn't being made anymore, this one will do the same.

I had to return the gunmetal satchel because after I carried it for only 3 days, the color had come off all inside the handles where it had been hanging on my arm. Not good, Target - for $40, I expect it to keep its damn color for at least a week.

But of course, hope springs eternal (or there's one born every minute) because today I bought the large faux-python satchel in black (same price as the previous purchase). I love it just as much as I loved the gunmetal satchel before it let me down, so I'm hoping this one doesn't start self-destructing anytime soon.

Keep me updated on that please - I'm expecting one in the mail shortly, and want to return it if it has any issues.

TIA!
