Mulberry Collaborate with Target for Handbag Collection

Mulberry, known for their iconic, impeccably designed leather goods, have teamed up with Target for a limited edition bag collection. Best known for their IT bags, including Roxanne, Bayswater, Emmy, Mabel and the recent "Alexa" as designed by Alexa Chung, Mulberry are clearly looking to branch out and reach a new audience with this collaboration.

The collection, simply named Mulberry for Target, is set to launch October 10th, 2010. No other details or previews have been released yet.

Mulberry are following in the footsteps of many other high-profile designers who've collaborated with Target, including Alexander Wang and Rodarte.

This collaboration however, will be different - Mulberry are known and loved because of their high-quality bags which use only the best leather - this will surely be hard to achieve with a lower budget/selling price, so you can basically expect something that will look and feel like a Mulberry knock off, which will no doubt be quite disappointing.

Let's hope Mulberry surprise us and manage to avoid making a knock-off version of their top quality bags.
