Target is not just tapping clothing designers for their GO International collections, but they’re also collaborating with accessories designers. Last week Target released a preview of Devi Kroell’s handbags and clutches and I have to say they’re very promising. Though, they’re not real python (polyurethane)…they look pretty damn good!
This collection debuts on July 15th alongside Libertine, the prices range from $19.99 to $49.99, crazy good deal. Besides clothing and handbags, fine jeweler Dominique Cohen is up next in August with rings, necklaces and brooches at a fraction of the price of her own line. Wow so many endless designer collaborations…I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of it! So excited, keep your eyes peeled! via nitro:licious.
Peep the preview here.

Been meaning to post this for a minute but haven’t had the chance. I escaped the office for a minute a few weeks back and found these really cute bags from Amy Davis for Le Sport Sac , My Flat in London and Betsey Johnson. Check ‘em out!!
Amy Davis for Le Sport Sac
I was so happy to see this. I’ve been familiar with Amy’s work for years - she used to illustrate the page in the back of Nylon Magazine with featured products. Now, she has a bag collection for Le Sport Sac featuring illustrations of her cutie characters. . .
