Sneak Peek: Botkier Handbags for Target


Botkier for Target

Target is partnering with renowned accessories designer Monica Botkier to launch a limited-edition handbag collection, Botkier for Target. This collection is the fifth handbag launch in a series of limited-time-only accessories designers at Target. The Botkier for Target collection will be available at select Target stores nationwide and at Target.com July 21 through Sept. 14, 2008. Until then, here's a sneak peek at the collection.

Personally, I'm beginning to bore of the whole metallic-bag-for-day trend. But if you're determined to go there, then the bronze and rose gold numbers below might just do the trick. I like how they look soft and slouchy, which helps offset the bling factor. I still love metallics for evening, though, and am really looking forward to seeing the clutches (above right) in person. What do you think of Botkier for Target so far?

Gotta say I'm liking these WAY better than the other, recent Target/designer handbag lines. Then again, I staunchly refuse to carry anything with gold or brass hardware, so I'm bizarrely biased. ;-) Those tassel clutches are adorable.

Thanks for the add! You've been in my blogroll for ages, for what it's worth.

Looks great to me, I will have to pick up one of those pretty handbags! I like the clutches the best out of this collection. Isn't Target great?!

Agreed. I'm very much over the metallic-handbag-for-day concept. A little flash goes a long way and a metallic handbag is very "in your face."

Based on these pictures I think this is a real improvement over past designer handbag lines Target has failed to get me excited about. I'll have to see the merchandise in the flesh before making a final verdict and deciding whether or not to buy, but what I see here has me excited for July 21st.

i like them. i like the clutches and the big magenta and black tassle ones. they don't look any different than the expensive department store brands. ok ok so it's not the same quality but if you like to change handbags every couple of months, you're not going to want to spend huge amounts of money and then worry if you get a spot of water on your purse, right? it's more fun to get stuff like this on the cheap. shoes are another matter bcuz they have to be comfy (at least for me) but for bags, anything goes (except you're right about the whole metallic thing)
