Knox Rose is the Latest Fashion Line to Land at Target

Knox Rose is a new boho fashion line at Target
You may have noticed a new in-house fashion brand at Target called Knox Rose, a boho mix of flowy knit tops, flyaway cardigans, peasant blouses and more that have landed for fall. While I wait to hear back from my PR contact for details on this new addition to the fashion department, I've snapped some photos off the rack that you can peruse below. Is this Target's answer to Free People? That's what came to mind as I reviewed Knox Rose in my mind. Some pieces are definitely stronger than others like the Aztec print cardigan (above) or the faux fleece vest (which I can't find online yet). All items seem to be available in plus-size, too, which is awesome news for shoppers. Prices seem on par with Target's other in-house brands like Mossimo and Merona. I like the sweaters with unique cut-outs as well as the extra long sweater vests, but will avoid some of the shapeless pieces that just don't flatter, and the super muted tones that can look muddy (or just downright inexpensive).

What do you think about Knox Rose? Have you checked it out or bought anything from this line yet?

Oooh that all looks really pretty. I love flowy styled clothes and I love that Target is getting so many high-end looking lines for Target prices.

I loved the Summer shorts. All 2 pairs I could find! I don't wear these BOHO looking type tops. I hope the whole line is not ditched because the shorts are the BEST! If you can find them. Unfortunately, this line of Fall clothing sat untouched, except for try-on's (and the disarray at Target where clothing is concerned).
I suspect low paid staff explains the clothing strewn everywhere, as well as inconsiderate co-shoppers. And these tops are impossible to re-hang for more considerate shoppers. Finding another pair of shorts will likely be impossible, since the entire rest of the line looks like various colored ponchos (meant for OVER clothing, and/or the plus size gals, who deserve better!).

This plus sizes TALL grandma LOVES the collection. There’s something for every age and body type. Please keep this wonderful line. It’s such an improvement over targets usual boring just for one type woman.

I agree very nice stuff at a good price. What I saw looked very well made. Lots of styles colors and sizes a great addition for the boho fashionistas. Does remind me of Freepeople... a lot. But I like these prices way better.

Definitely need to get in there and check out the sweaters!

I like the new collection! I have to visit the store to try some clothes

I blogged about this a few weeks ago. Agreed that it looks like Free People or Francesca's - very BOHO and geared to the younger set. From what I can tell, it's not flying off the racks. I also thought it was priced a bit higher than Merona and Mossimo.

I bought a multicolored dress and love the length and round neck. I wore it to church. I bought the dress in the fall but just wore it today (2/11/2018) hopefully it doesn't mess up when I wash it.

I was super excited to see this line because I am a huge fan of free people. Knox Rose has almost an exact look a like for the FP blue bird blouse. I rushed to Target to try it on and was disappointed. The fit was terrible! The bodice was awkwardly above my bust and tight through the shoulders. I tried on a few other long sleeve shirts and they were all too long in the torso.

I bought this shirt and loved it so much. The first time I washed it the seam around the neckline literally ripped open almost all the way around. So disappointing.

Yes! I love Knox Rose, but don't, under any circumstances, wash them. Boo hoo.
#6.1 Holly on 2017-02-23 10:34 (Reply)
Absolutely love the style of the Knox Rose clothing line. I have several pieces. The only clothing I've bought in months. Love, love, love it. Every time I go to Target I check the line out and always leave with something.

Oh dear, that bad huh? Thanks for the feedback!

I have several Knox Rose items, a couple sweaters, a sweater vest and a blouse. I'm really happy with all my pieces and love the how they bring a bit of boho to my look.

Well I just discovered this line this weekend. I fell completely in love with it. I usually buy a specific brand in Macy's because I am a hairdresser and it fits me pretty well and lasts. I bought 6 pieces of this line and love them all! I thought out of all 6 I'm sure I will only buy one or two but after trying them all on in the fitting room they were all very very flattering. I love Free People and I think I agree it reminds me of this brand. Everything looks like it will wash up very well also.

I LOVE Knox rose! This line is my absolute favorite for the money, style, and fit.
#11 Dianne on 2017-06-12 01:23 (Reply)
Love the style but the sleeves of all the tops are way out of proportion. They are too small. I wear a side medium top and the medium fits well except the sleeves! I tried on several tops and they all fit the same way. I don't have this issue with any other brands. It's unfortunate because i would buy numerous items if they fit properly.

I love the look of Knox Rose, the details. Reminds me of Anthropologie but a lot cheaper. However, all of the fits are very baggy and boxy. Empire waists...very unflattering. If they could only offer some tops with the same details but that define a waist, actually at the wIst, not just under the boobs. That cut makes all people look heavier than they really are.

I bought 3 items from this line; a cardigan, peasant blouse, and flowy rayon cargo pants. I took care NOT to put any in the dryer but 2 of them still shrunk what seems to be an entire size. The peasant blouse fit perfectly before I washed it. The first time I washed it, I laid it flat to dry but it shrunk anyways. Same with the rayon cargo pants. Washed and hung to dry, and when I put them on they had shrunk a few inches at the ankles. The cardigan I also washed and hung to dry and it did not shrink. I've washed and hung it to dry a few times since and it still remained its original size. Knox Rose is not the only line at Target that seems to have a problem with shrinking. I love the clothes from Target but I think I probably wasted a lot of money on clothes that just shrink. It's very frustrating!

The reason it's not flying off the racks is because it's mixed next to maternity clothing. I'm not pregnant and I thought it was for expected mother's. I happened to buy a dress today. I really think the items are super cute and very stylish. BUT!!!! Target needs to move it away from the maternity section. Trust my words! This merchandise will fly out the store once they relocate it. I love love love the cloths.

I'm having a hard time finding it in stores. Can I ask where you shop?

I was wondering if Knox Rose has a baby line yet. My daughter is due in July and she loves through collection so much that her son's middle name is going to be Knox. Which I love. Hoping you will come out with a baby/ children's line eventually.

I loved the look of the Knox Rose Purple blue plaid peplum blouse . Bought it and wore it twice. Washed it and hung to dry. It totally frayed on both cuffs and down front near button seams. It can no longer be worn after one wash. So frustrating.

I love the tops I have purchased, however, like several others who have commented, following their care instructions it does appear they have an issue with shrinkage, which is okay if you are into layering your tops. I haven't tried the dresses or any of the cardigans, yet, right now I've mostly done the waffle style long sleeve shirts and love how soft and comfortable they are if they would not shrink.

I am 62, an artist, the size of Knox Rose models (5'9.5" - nice to see online so I know how they will fit), and they remind me of hippie clothes from my youth. So for me, what a wonderful find for everyday wear, for light days in the studio, and on vacation. It is the only brand of top and dress I buy at Target. I always look to see what they have.
For those wondering how to wash rayon (which is what Knox Rose is usually made of), hand wash in cold water, air dry. Don't put in the machine. They last a lot longer, the colors keep, they won't get frayed, and they tend to shrink less. Even if they do shrink, you can stretch rayon. It will loosen up.
If you are desperate to wash in the machine, cold wash in a cotton bag.
