Target has been very busy forming collaborations with different designers over the last several years, and now it is launching The Shops at Target, a store-within-a-store platform that offers special, limited edition products from specialty boutiques around the United States.
So far, the designers and boutiques included in The Shops at Target are The Webster, a Miami-based fashion shop, Privet House, which specializes in decor and home products and Cos Bar, an Aspen-based beauty boutique. A San Francisco-based sweets store called The Candy Store will also be featured, as well as a pets toys and treats store from Boston called Polka Dog Bakery. According to Stylelite, there will be 400 exclusive products available, ranging from $1 to $160.
The Shops at Target will appear at five Target locations across the United States starting May 6.
