I bought the Target-Balenciaga knockoff (pics)

[Luckygirl12]

It came in Black, Brown, Orange, and this blue color (which I got http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif). I wanted all the colors though! They're so cute! Picture time:

I'm dying for a white Balenciaga bag. I wish these came in white!!

[Nat000]

i want the brown one!

[cutie123]

I LURRVE Balenciaga, but my wallet does not. Thank goodness for Target!

[LU*]

AAAHA! I need that bag right now!
Too bad I'm like one million miles away from my nearest Target http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

[Stacee414]

I want a brown one too> I guess you know where I'll be this weekend.

[LipstickChick]

Oh man, I wish these came in a bigger size! I just saw these the other day in Target, and I knew that with all that I schlep around, I wouldn't be able to do much with this bag, cute as it is http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif ... bigger! I need BIGGER! http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Enjoy yours! http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[marroncream]

hey My!! i just posted about this earlier the other day and i so wanted the same color you have!! is the handle opening big enough so you can wear it under your arm? thanks i love it too i think i'll go pick it up tomor..
oh another thing do you guys know what differences this one has from the real balenciaga? i looked on ebay and compared both and all the straps and zippers seem to be in the right places on the front...is there some big obvious difference that i'm missing??thx

[Luckygirl12]

Hey marooncream! The straps aren't as big as I would like them to be. You can't really carry it under your arm/
It's still cute though! http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[purelai]

<span class="ev_code_PURPLE">Oh that is cute!! But you can't carry it under arm eh? Hrmm, I tend to go for something I can put under my arm, in case I need to use my hands. Maybe I'll check it out in person sometime to decide.</span>

[ClareJane]

I like it!!! I'll be looking out for the brown one!! May I ask how much they are?? http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[cutie123]

It is $14.99...I just bought the brown one today!

[ClareJane]

Wow, that's a great deal!!! Thanks Becky! http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Zannah]

Can you use the shoulder strap to carry it or is that more of a detail then for function? It's super cute, but my Target doesn't have them!

[Celina]

Very cute! I want to get one now http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[marroncream]

hey My!! I just went to two of my targets today to get it and all of them had scratches on them...hey My is the leather real soft and easily scratched?? that's what i thought when i was looking at it..since you have it you might be able to give me more info on it...I think i'll still get it when i find a good one but it'll be a pain to be super extra careful going about holding it and where to set it down.. http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

[cutie123]

Jeny-I hope you don't mind my butting in, but yes, the leather on the bags is soft so I guess that means it will scratch easier. I'm honestly not too concerned because for only $15, I don't care if my bag gets a little scratched up (nothing looks perfect forever!).

Zannah-I think you can use the shoulder strap to carry it, it's very durable and you literally cannot remove it

[Luckygirl12]

Hi again! To answer the question, yes the leather is pretty soft. But like Becky, I don't really mind since it's only $15. I hope you can find a good one! http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[Gisele]

yeah these purses are so cute...they look almost identical to the real thing. I got the orange one and the black one two weeks ago. I feel like a motorcycle chic when I carry the black bag!

I definitely reccommend checking these bags out if you like Balenciaga.

[pamie]

I have the brown one and really like it..Target has a ton in stock!

[Carly]

Those are cute! I'm gonna pick up the brown one tonight http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[marroncream]

yea that's true...for $15 i guess it doesn't really matter...but i'm so picky like that..it's when i really like something even if it's $5 i want to preserve it as best i can cause i don't want to waste money to buy another one (broke college student here). I'll still get it tho as soon as i find a good one, it just irritates me that i have a scratched up to begin with...*crossing fingers* thanks gals.

[ClareJane]

They didn't have the brown one at my local Target. http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif I'll try a different one tomorrow.

[LipstickChick]

For those who bought this -- something I didn't check out when I saw these in person -- are these real leather? Or are they vinyl/synthetic?

(I'm STILL thinking it'd be too small for me, lol, but hey -- for $15 ... http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif )

TIA! http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

[marroncream]

it's back online!! it says faux leather but in person it's real soft maybe too soft for my liking ..easily scratched...but it's too cute to pass up...
here's the link..for those that couldn't find it at their target...

it is Faux leather ...but still nice for $15!

[cutie123]

Christine-The size might be deceiving. It looks smaller than other purses I've had, but I definitely can fit more in here than I thought! It has a ton of room inside, which I love (I carry a lot too, haha).

[LipstickChick]

Thanks, guys, for the info on both the material and the sizing http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif ... I may have to wander right back into Target to check this out again!

I'm the same way Kat! Anyways great bag! Enjoy! http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

[cutehairdresser]

I went to Target yesterday and I was a little disappointed! I have only seen these bags online and I thought they were much bigger! When I saw them in person they were so small... http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gif I have been on a big bag kick lately so I decided to pass. They are cute though.

[DarleneH]

I got the brown one! It's plenty roomy for me, but then I never carry large purses anyway. I would say it's nicely medium. When I go back to Target next week, I'll get the teal one if they still have any.

Dar

[Gisele]

Also, I was gonna let you all know that Target also has a knockoff of the Melie Bianco Bulga bag and Chloe's silverado bag in python print, bronze and black. In my opinion, these aren't as good of knockoffs as the Balenciaga, but they're still cute! I'm thinking about getting the Bulga knockoff cause I love suede!! http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://community.icompact.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[marroncream]

hey guys i finally got the teal today after searching 3 targets to find one that wasn't horribly scratched up....i love mine!! i usually carry small-medium bag so this one is a big better than what i need which is always a good thing...to add to gisele's post target also has some juicy couture knockoffs but also not as good as the balenciaga one...

I had the same experience. I thought it was MUCH bigger. I went in there looking for a big bag, then when I saw these, I thought these were the smaller version and started searching for the bigger ones LOL!. Then I realized these we the ones. So I passed.

[princessalli77]

I saw it...just wasnt as impressed as everyone was. The size wasnt for me. Hope everyone enjoys their bag. it was a super deal!!
