Do USB-C to Thunderbolt 2 cables exist?

I’m purchasing a 2017 MacBook Pro and plan to use my old Mid-2011 iMac as a monitor in Target Display Mode.
I’ve discovered I need a USB-C to Thunderbolt 2 connection to make this work, but I’m having some difficulty finding a cable that works. I tried a USB-C to Mini-Display Port (using my work laptop, same as I’m ordering) without success.
Does such a cable exist?
I’ve seen male USB-C to female Thunderbolt 2 adapters that would require a male to male Thunderbolt cable, but they’re pricey and I’d like some confirmation that they work before I purchase one.
Can anyone confirm that this setup would work please?

You're not going to find a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 cable as an adapter is required to connect to legacy devices.
One of the (major) differentiators between Thunderbolt 1/2 and Thunderbolt 3 is that Thunderbolt 1/2 required the cable to be active (it required power to operate) whereas Thunderbolt 3 can use standard USB Type C cables (it's passive)1.
With these older Thunderbolt standards, the cable was active, meaning
the cable itself is a device that requires power to operate (which is
why most Thunderbolt 1 or 2 devices would require an external power
source in order to function.)
Thunderbolt 3 is backward compatible, but will require an adapter.2
From the FAQ:
Is Thunderbolt 3 backwards compatible with Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2?
Yes, solutions and products built to Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 specifications will work with Thunderbolt 3 via an adapter.
(emphasis mine)
To make your setup work, something like the StarTech TBT3TBTADAP TB 3 to Legacy TB adapter.
I've personally used this adapter to connect a 2018 MacBook Pro to a legacy (Thunderbolt 1) WD MyBook Duo and it worked with no issues.
Note
This kind of adapter is only compatible with Thunderbolt devices, not Mini DisplayPort.

I would recommend the Apple adapter from my answer instead as it is cheaper, and I have actually verified that it works with Target Display Mode!

@jksoegaard - I tend to not recommend Apple branded adapters/dongles because they have a high tenancy to fail and the reviews on the Apple store seem to confirm my experiences.

Sounds like anecdotal evidence - my experience is the contrary. We have used many different types of Apple adapters/dongles in my company, and we've had very low failure rates. In particular, we haven't yet had a failed Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter. Do you have any statistics to back up that Apple's hardware is subpar to StarTech?

@Tim I know it is anecdotal - that was the point. Two anecdotes that are conflicting - doesn't really help anyone. What is necessary is statistics in order to generally claim that Apple's adapters fails more often than other brands. If I had statistics, I would have posted them.
