The latest news to come out of the super secret Target designer lab is that of a handbag line by Botkier.

The limited edition handbag collection will be called Botkier for Target and is the fifth handbag collection to be released.

Designer Monica Botkier launched her handbag label five years ago when she couldn’t find a design that suited her. Her brand now sells in some of the biggest department stores in the world, including Barneys New York, Saks Fifth Avenue and Harvey Nichols.

While most of us are just shopping the Target Go International Jovovich-Hawk collection, Target is announcing its next designer phenom: Richard Chai.

Seen at left with a look from his Fall 2008 runway show, Chai is an Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation winner.

He joins fellow GO designers Jovovich-Hawk and Rogan Gregory, Target’s latest recruits, in offering new ranges this year.

Jovovich-Hawk’s collection is selling quickly, while Rogan Gregory’s collection, which could be limited to swimwear, is due around May. Chai will launch a limited-edition womenswear collection in early August.
