You can shop Target.com all you want, but nothing beats actually ogling and touching their private collection and various collaborations in person. This weekend Racked headed to the land of milk of honey (meaning department stores and 3% sales tax): Jersey City. Still within sight of the Empire State Building sits not just any Target, but the microcosm that is a Target Greatland. With only one week until the Rogan for Target debut at Barney's, and two weeks until it hits actual Target stores, we were flabbergasted to find so much detritus from past collaborations. Small pockets of everything from Loeffler Randall to DwellStudio popped up around the store, with even some Jovovich-Hawk jammed into the clearance racks.
Our frighteningly detailed review of the state of Target's Collections:
DOWNTOWN
· Falls sample sale: Saturday, Sunday 1—6pm. 21 E 12th St between Fifth Ave and University Pl (917-204-1026).
· Phi sample sale: Saturday 11am—7pm. 71 Greene St between Broome and Spring Sts (212-966-0076).
· Tracy Matthews Designs sample sale: Saturday 10am—4pm. 264 Canal St between Broadway and Lafayette St, loft 6E (212-414-4085).
· Dolce Vita sample sale: Saturday noon—4pm. 156 Ludlow St between Stanton and Rivington Sts, fourth floor (212-529-2111).
· The News sample sale: Saturday 10am—6pm. 495 Broadway between Broome and Spring Sts, fifth floor (212-925-970).
Not much of a fray to report at the DwellStudiooverstock/sample sale at 76 Greene Street. Sadly, the sale is lacking in the larger-pattern linens which gives DwellStudio their devoted following. Instead, plan on piles of $90 muted pinstripe sheet sets and $20 pairs of Egyptian cotton shams. Overall most of the stuff is DwellBaby, with complete crib sets in cowgirl/boy patterns for $125, stroller blankets at $20, and bibs aplenty for $15. If anything, it's a treasure trove of no-brainer baby shower gifts!

Target's come out with another genius collaboration. The retailer, having seen success with its Go International collections, is applying the same concept to housewares, as Target stores will soon be stocking bedding from high-end textile company DwellStudio. [Domino via]
