Lilly Pulitzer for Target

[Splash]

I have a question. What will make these items less expensive? Will the dresses be the same material or a different material? Different prints? Just wondering where the (price) differences come from.

As with all of the Target collaborations, the prints will be slightly different and the materials and workmanship will not be on the same level. I have a Missoni for Target shell and while it's nice it's obviously not the same Missoni you would get at Saks.

The girls complaining about this making LP "less exclusive" made me chuckle. If you have a credit card and an internet connection, you can buy it even if you live in the middle of nowhere. It's not like back in the day when you had to travel to NYC or whatever.

ugh yes! I heard the same story from others, and those that are just so offended that they're selling at target because they decided to pay lord knows how much for the ACTUAL dress from LP's store.

Although I don't like LP clothing, I like that they're expanding to places to make it much more affordable!

The prints were designed by LP for Target. They won't use these prints on other items. Target will have the items made and in general, they will be made more cheaply and more mass produced. Target quality runs from pretty good to crappy, so we'll have to keep our fingers crossed for "pretty good."

It's also a "one and done" collection...there's no inventory management and reordering and so on, so the operational costs are lower as well.
