Target Collaboration News - Up Next, Carlos Falchi

Filed under: Handbags

Top designers keep joining forces with Target for exclusive lines, and we keep swooning (and shopping), so the recipe for success is clearly working.

The latest collaboration? Carlos Falchi, master leathersmith and purveyor of classic, yet modern handbags and accessories. He is following in the fashionable footsteps of past handbag designers for Target including Gryson, Anya Hindmarch, Devi Kroell and Botkier.

The collection, eighth in a series of limited-time-only accessories designer collaborations for the retail giant, will be available at most Target stores and Target.com from November 1 to December 27. (But you know the deal, these designer items fly off the shelves.)

Unemployed? This Accessory Could Land You a Job

Advertise Your Availability. Photo courtesy of Laid Off Need a Job

Sure, we'd all love to run out and buy the latest in high-end jewelry -- those amazing red carpet and runway pieces we couldn't take our eyes off of -- but let's get real. In this economy, we've got to be budget-conscious, as does our jewelry.

Here's a novel idea -- instead of working for your jewelry, make your jewelry work for you. It could even help you land your next job!

The Laid Off Need a Job wristband, much like a medical-alert bracelet, puts it all out there. The accessory was conceived by the once-unemployed Stephanie Aucoin and her designer friend Barbara Bourn.

Henri Bendel to Strip Down

Henri Bendel, our favorite brown-and-white striped, high-end department store, is about to drop trou! The famous Fifth Avenue destination (which appeared in "Confessions of a Shopaholic" under a pseudonym and has a recurring role on "Gossip Girl") will cease selling clothing to focus on accessories and beauty products, exclusively.

It's not a total shocker since they are best known for their carefully selected, on-trend trimmings. I mean, it's common knowledge among the fashion set that if you need a hair accessory, you got to Henri Bendel. Period.

But don't fear that the 1895-founded shop is just another victim of the recession; they're actually rolling out six accessories-only stores this summer, featuring Bendel brand gifts (like an $18 box of tea) and HB beauty products.

So the good news, they could be coming to a mall near you!
