I was in the local Target the other day and looked for their new Shops: Kirna Zabête, Patch NYC, Odin and the Curiosity Shoppe. I could only find the Patch NYC and Curiosity Shoppe, and to say that I was not impressed would not put too fine a point on it. 
I don’t know if the selection had been picked over, or that there was just not a big selection to start with, but there wasn’t a lot on offer. 
And I was unimpressed with what they did have. I didn’t like the designs or the colours or the motifs… especially at the Curiosity Shoppe. 
And I thought the price for some things was a bit much – to say the very least.
I can’t imagine who would pay $5.00 for 28 paper straws, but it certainly wouldn’t be me. I hate paper straws. They get all soft and mucky.
The selection at Patch NYC was a little better and seemed to be more original.
I loved the reindeer notebook on the right, and thought the woodpecker candleholders were fun. 
Now that I know there’s a den of foxes close by, I’d like to have this lamp to remind me of them.
These orange candles seem very 70’s to me. 
Not to my taste.
While I admire Target for branching out and bringing these small shops to everyone’s attention, I wonder if they don’t do more harm than good to these brands. The wares usually seem to be very poorly made and not of the quality that I think the stores actually offer.
Thoughts?
