Designer Phillip Lim introduced a line of handbags, clothing, and other accessories for retailer Target last night. In a social media coup for Lim and Target, the hashtag #philliplimfortarget was trending before and after midnight, when the products became available for sale online. This morning, handbag shoppers all over the U.S. and Canada are waiting in line outside Target stores, eager to buy the Phillip Lim items.
Freezing, hungry and tired. This better be worth it #philliplimfortarget

Just one question:
Maybe I'm out of it, but what's so special about these bags? @TargetCanada @31philliplim
