Hasta La Ideas

Target‘s done it again and again. Puma was there with the late Alexander McQueen. J. Crew has launched a whole new wing of it. And even Gap has dipped their toes into the hiring celebrity designers trend. Now it’s one of their subsidiaries’ turn, as Banana Republic has announced that they will be carrying a line of accessories by someone other than their branded selves. The designer in question for this first foray is Chan Luu, who will be creating a short run of bracelets for BR. Here are the details:

The collection showcases Chan Luu’s signature wrap style, which brings together custom-dyed thread or leather with unique semi-precious stones, gold or sterling silver. The 17-piece collection consists of four different styles in a range of colors. The bracelets will cost from $95 to $225.

The collection will be sold exclusively at Edition and will debut at an event honoring the store’s one-year anniversary. It will then be rolled out to select stores in the U.S., Canada and Japan and online in the U.S. only beginning August 10.

Edition is Banana Republic’s accessories-only shop in San Francisco.
