Gryson for Target Now Available
The Gryson for Target handbag collection is now available online and in stores through June 21st. The following items are available online only: Patent Woven Tote Bag in Green, Zip Tape Satchel in Blue Jean, Woven Bag with Cutout Handles in Green and Black and the Woven Pouch in Green.
My favorite style is the zip satchel with braided handles which look very similar to the Olivia and Skye bags from Gryson’s designer line. It comes in two colors (blue jean and black) and as blue jean is only sold online I’ll be getting both then decide which one to keep later. Or I might keep both! Get free shipping with a minimum $50 order.
Here’s an informative review of the bags with side by side photos of Gryson for Target vs. the Gryson designer line.
Looking forward to Botkier for Target late this summer!
Update: I just received the zip satchels and I have to say that I’m disappointed. The design is great. The braided straps remind me of Givenchy’s Pluto bag. But the overall quality is low: work on the exposed zipper is shoddy, the zippers don’t open and close smoothly and the material could be better. Even H&M makes better PVC bags at lower prices. I think Target needs to step up their game and work on sourcing out better handbag manufacturers if they want to sell these bags at full price. The handbag designs look great but when you see them in person, there’s always something left to be desired.

I saw these bags in the store. Beautiful concept, proportions and details, but I just can’t get over the look and feel of the faux leather, horrid! I would have preferred non-premium real leather at a higher price point. If these had been real leather, I definitely would have bought a couple. However, too cheap looking for me. Unfortunately, I’ll take a pass.
