"  OH, KNOCK IT OFF! When is a fake not a fake? When it&amp;#039;s made by the same designer \u2014 with the best intentions. &amp;quot;Target let me offer a collection anyone can afford,&amp;quot; says Devi Kroell of her collaboration with the store on a nicely priced replica of her python hobo that catapulted her to cult status. We didn&amp;#039;t even have to put the squeeze on her to tell us how they did it.  STITCH JOB Machine-stitched, not hand-sewn like the original.  LINING UP Got silk? The original does; this is polysatin, a synthetic.  ZIP TEASE This zipper is nylon; the original is brass.  STRAP ARTIST A flat handle is fastened with a satin brass-finish rivet, while the original sports a round handle with a PVC tube inside.  GET CLOSURE The satin brass-finish magnetic snaps look almost as high-end as real brass.  VINYL EXAM The vinyl &amp;quot;scales&amp;quot; are debossed and dipped in metallic dye for a 3-D look \u2014 cheaper than python from Asia.  THE ORIGINAL Devi Kroell&amp;#039;s signature python hobo bag-in several sexy colors-retails for $2,590; 631-329-2700. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
