I was pleased as punch while shopping at Target on Sunday. I had seen the recent commercials of the upcoming "Shops at Target" concept but had forgotten that the introduction of the concept was on Sunday, May 6.
The Shops at Target is a brand new concept by Target Corp. that includes the boutique-within-a-big-box store concept. I especially like that the concept is not another big name designer but 5 small boutique businesses across the country.
The first 5 businesses include:
- Miami-based, The Webster
- Connecticut-based, Privet House
- Aspen-based, Cos Bar
- Boston-based, Polka Dog Bakery
- San Francisco-based, The Candy Store
Product prices range from $1.00 to $159.99, and over 400 products are available in-store and online.
I especially loved the polos and swim suits from The Webster. I had to leave with a swim suit. Do you like? I had to have mine monogrammed. Soooo Southern!
I too loved the collections by Privet House. I know that this would be a boutique that I would visit often if I lived closer. I left with a Warren House Balsam & Citrus Pine candle in a beautiful brown apothecary-style jar.
But, I will be back for more of their melamine serveware which is great for summer.
Here are some of my favorite things from two of my favorite Shops at Target.

Privet House:
This is the first round of a planned collaboration with boutique-type businesses that will continue beyond 2012.

Shops at Target, y’all!
What a great concept! I had not heard about this. Thanks, Ron, for making me aware of this! :)
ReplyDeleteI just went to Target yesterday to check out their new shops. I love the Privet House collection. I wish they would display all of it together though. They dispersed it around the store so I had to walk around to look for all of it. Also, they didn't have everything that they have online either. I ended up coming home and ordering the black and white cheese tray they showed online that I couldn't find in the store. I'm looking forward to receiving it. I may do a post about it and their line once I receive it.
ReplyDeleteWho knew? Heading to Target this afternoon. I will be looking for it. xo Jill
