FIRST VIEW: GILT & TARGET TEAM UP TOMORROW


Gilt Groupe has partnered with Target to offer a first for both: an exclusive preview sale of items from upcoming designer collections by Tucker, Mulberry and John Derian.
A Mulberry for Target mini crossbody bag in quilted denim ($14.99).

John Derian for Target's Dahlia tray ($14.99).

The (online) frenzy starts tomorrow at 9 a.m. (noon EST) at Gilt Groupe. New members can join by going to www.gilt.com/target. As experienced Gilt flash shoppers know, woe and sorrow awaits those who don't get there at 9. The Target Designer Sale items will be limited quantities and non-returnable. As experienced Target Designer Collection shoppers know, whether you're purchasing through the Target website or showing up at 8 a.m., there are always items that, mysteriously, are never available in either place.

The Tucker (women's clothing) and John Derian (home decor) collections are due in stores in September, while handbag brand Mulberry's collection ( feature eight styles in patent, velvet and denim) comes out in October. Derian's decoupage-inspired trays, plates and other Victoriana knickknacks in particular are known to sell out quickly, and permanently.

This year's Target Designer collections have included Zac Posen and Liberty of London; past collections have come from buzzy labels such as Botkier, Rodarte and Alexander McQueen.
