Target has tapped Agua Bendita, a Colombian label known for its bold floral prints, Fe Noel, a Brooklyn-born brand with Grenadian roots, and Los Angeles-based Rhode, which is synonymous with printed dresses, as its latest designer collaboration partners.
The three collections feature 100 pieces of apparel, accessories and swimwear, ranging from sizes XXS to 4X. Each item costs between $15 to $48.
“These are bold, distinctive, women-founded brands inspired by their own roots and cultures, and I know our guests will absolutely love them,” said Jill Sando, Target’s executive vice president and chief merchandising officer, in a statement.
