(NEW YORK) On the heels of its announcement of a Richard Chai collaboration, Target is partnering with accessories designer Monica Botkier to launch a limited-edition handbag collection entitled Botkier for Target. This is the fifth handbag collection for the Minneapolis-based retailer, having also worked with Rafé, Devi Kroell, Loeffler Randall, and Gryson. A favorite among celebs like Angelina Jolie, Penelope Cruz, Heidi Klum, and Alicia Keys, the pieces will be available from July 21 to September 14 at stores and on target.com.

I was just going to post this from WWD.

I'm very excited! Hopefully the quality won't be too compromised.

No, No, No....... Not another for target design.I know that they have been succesful, but honestly this turns me off to the company that goes low end. Nothing wrong with lower end items (I buy'em too) but if I'm dashing out $600 and my label says "Botkier" it's a total waste of money!!!!! They will make money on one end but loose some on the other.

^ I Googled Botkier for Target, and that's what came up under a few blogs... Hopefully they use much better materials than they have for the past few... I do like the color though! <3 And if that is one for Target, I can't wait to see the rest

^^^^
That's from Botkier's spring collection, not the upcoming Target one. I love Botkier's bags and I love Target but I don't know...I haven't been too thrilled with any of the designer collaborations they've had (each time they put out a new one I still run and check it out though!) I was so excited for the Devi Kroell collection and blah, I didn't care for any of it.
