Disappointed Orla Kiely fan: Update



I have been following Orla Kiely ever since she was an unpronounceable name in the Garnett Hill catalog. Imagine my delight when Target announced that they were doing one of their designer mash-ups with the Irish-born fashion and textiles designer.

Cut to Sunday, February 1st – the planned debut of her line at Tar-zhay. All I found at my local store was one, skinny, sad little display of Orla Kiely items in the home organization section. After doing a bit of online research, I found this:

http://www.target.com/Orla-Kiely-Home-D%C3%A9cor/b/ref=sc_fe_l_1/185-9000645-4854963?ie=UTF8&node=1261168011

Looks like the debut is now February 15th. I did some digging and it seems that those in-the-know about how the Orla Kiely brand ships their merchandise out say that it comes in batches. So it may reach your Target sooner (or later) than the 15th. Keep checking! You wouldn't want to miss out on this cute stuff at these prices. Early reports say that the quality of the merchandise is decent, too.
