More exciting news on the Target front: The latest designer handbag collaboration to hit everyone’s favorite low-end chain store comes courtesy of Anya Hindmarch. According to a recent Target press release,
"This limited-time-only collection embodies sophisticated and elegant silhouettes. A palette rich in chocolate, gold and black hues stand out with a timeless patent finish. French bindings in playful textures and contrasting colors add glamour to this handbag collection. Styles include chic satchels, shoulder bags and clutches that can accessorize from day until night. The Anya Hindmarch for Target collection ranges in price from $19.99 to $49.99, making it an incredible value. The bags in Anya’s mainline collection are priced from $995 to $6,500 for a bespoke crocodile bag."![]()
Yowza! That’s some savings. But how do the bags look? The collection doesn’t hit stores until October 12th, but you can get a sneak preview on Hindmarch’s website. So far, my thoughts are that the bags look well-designed but perhaps a little too structured and ladylike for my tastes. Plus, as we learned from the Gryson collection, the most important thing when it comes to buying handbags from Target is to look before you leap - a piece that appears luxe online might come off as cheap and tacky in person! Let’s hope that’s not the case with the Anya Hindmarch bags.
