If there’s one thing my closet is lacking, it’s sandals. But not just any sandals; I’m talking heeled styles that I can dress up for the office or slip into for a nice meal out with friends. On-trend shoes that look way more expensive than expected are always the goal, and one prime example is this pair of Givenchy dupes at Target.

Yup, you heard that right—Givenchy and Target in the same sentence. The shoes at hand are the Fauna Raffia Mule Heels by A New Day, which look incredibly similar to the 4G-plaque 45 Faux Raffia Sandals by Givenchy. The key difference is price. The Target pair costs a mere $35, while the O.G. pair will have you shelling out an eye-popping $750. It doesn’t matter what you’re buying, a $715 price difference is not only rare, but also a no-brainer.

But before we say more, let’s put these two sandals side by side.
A New Day Fauna Raffia Mule Heels
Sizes: 5-12 (with some half sizes)
Color(s): Tan, Black
Heel height: ~2.5 inches
Materials: Insole: 100% polyurethane; Lining: 100% polyurethane; Upper: 92% raffia and 8% plastic; Outsole: 55% polyester and 45% rubber
Givenchy 4G-plaque 45 Faux Raffia Sandals
Sizes: 5-11 (with half sizes)
Color(s): White
Heel height: N/A (but based on similar styles from Givenchy, we’re guessing anywhere from 1.75 inches to 2 inches)
Materials: Leather, faux raffia, and metal (4G plaque)
Can we just take a second to acknowledge the amount of similarities between these two sandals? Both are slip-ons that you can easily slide right into, the toes on both are open and square-shaped, and the heels are block style. Not only that, but one is made from raffia while the other is made from faux raffia. Plus, both shoes feature some sort of gold hardware on the uppers. The A New Day pair wears gold-tone interlocking metal links, while the Givenchy O.G.s sport 4G metal plaques.
In the end, the two shoes are similar but not identical. This is expected, however, for any designer dupe. For this one, it’s making a choice between spending $750 or $35, and any shopper on a budget knows which one they’re picking.
To make this an even easier decision, check out the reviews section for A New Day’s raffia sandals. You’ll quickly notice that almost every comment mentions the fact that these affordable sandals look like they’re designer.
“These are beautiful, comfortable slide sandals. Such a designer look at affordable prices. I ordered both the black (have not received yet) and just got the nude,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “The padding on [the] inside helps with comfort. The buckle design is beautiful. The woven design is very popular for 2024. These will sell out. Get them while you can. I can always depend on Target giving up-to-date designs at great prices. The heel height is perfect!”
Another shopper raved, “These are so cute and comfortable as well. Well made and looks expensive. A must-buy before they run out!”
Even though it’s still technically winter, it’s never too early to shop for spring and summer sandals. In fact, it’s a smart move to dodge price increases and ensure you have weather-appropriate shoes in time for the seasons changing. We suggest you start with these Givenchy dupes from Target to elevate your shoe collection without breaking the bank.
