Gryson for Target! Subversive for Target! Jesus Christ!

Wowza, Target's having a big news day. We knew about accessories designer Gryson doing a Target collabo awhile back, but the images are officially out and I have to say, the bags do look like they'd be part of her main line. (I even like some of the designs better than the bags I've seen in her main line.) The biggest possible disappointment, of course, could be the materials. Some past designers haven't quite been able to grapple with the cheaper materials, but it looks like Gryson drew on vintage inspiration for her Target line, which could help here in that factor. I'm not fond of every piece, and one should always reserve judgment till they can actually hold and touch the goods, of course. But if you're in the market for a non-leather bag that's both elegant and practical, you could cruise these and possibly find something.

The big news for me, though, is that Subversive, they of the amazing, amazing jewelry and a CFDA/Vogue darling, is now part of the Target stable! Totally psyched, because while past accessories collections have been on the disappointing side in terms of that magical intersection of materials and design, the jewelry designer collections have been quite excellent. Well, there was only one -- Dominique Cohen -- but I found it to be of surprisingly good quality, where the design considered the nature of the materials while still retaining the designer's imprimatur. This thoughtfulness is reflected in a higher price point for the general Target customer, which may make some people balk. While Subversive's pieces for Target are definitely not as intricate as their thousands-dollars-selling main line, they still have that elegant, imaginative eclectic thing happening and yes, I'm personally excited for these. (Plus, they did a nogoodforme.com interview for us awhile back! So they automatically rock in our book!) Between Subversive and Gryson and Jovovich-Hawk coming up soon -- Target probably just completely pwned your wallets, dudes.

Anyway, peep pictures of bags and baubles below from Target.com. (More pics and official press releases available here.) Subversive will be available at Target from March 23rd to July 20th; Gryson will be available from April 6th to June 21st. Enjoy!
