New month, new arrivals! This morning Target announced a limited-time collection with Kate Spade New York, and Shop TODAY editorial director Adrianna Brach stopped by Studio 1A to share an exclusive preview before the line officially launches at 3 a.m. ET on April 12.
With more than 300 items spanning clothing, bags, jewelry, glassware and more, this will be one of Target's largest limited-time collections, according to a press release. And if it's anything like the retailer's previous designer collabs, we won't be surprised if the most coveted pieces sell out in minutes. Don't want to miss out? Sign up for our daily Stuff We Love newsletter and we'll alert you right when these products go live, and sign up for text alerts for a reminder on April 12.
First up, Brach shares size-inclusive spring clothing, including a "mommy and me" style for matching with little ones. And of course we can't talk about Kate Spade New York without talking about accessories: The line includes earrings, knit crossbody bags (and bag charms), envelope-style card cases and more, all in updated takes on the brand's classic colorways and patterns. The best part? More than half of the pieces in the collection are priced at $15 or less.
Below, browse Brach’s favorite finds from the collection, along with more new Target launches, from shoes to editor-approved makeup.
Target spring launches seen on TODAY
Kate Spade New York x Target Raffia Tote Bag
We’re seeing woven bags everywhere, but this one is uniquely feminine, thanks to its scalloped edges and bow. Wear it out for dinner, carry it to the beach and more.
Kate Spade New York x Target Champagne & French Fries Short Sleeve Graphic T-Shirt
A graphic tee adds a fun, youthful touch to any look. Tuck this one into a skirt to dress it up, or wear it with your favorite denim to keep things low stakes (but still cute).
Kate Spade New York x Target Stripe Knit Crossbody Bag
Shop TODAY editors and readers alike favor crossbody bags for their hands-free convenience. This new bag fits the bill, while adding a dose of charm. Brach loves that it has a top handle, so you also have the option to carry it more formally depending on your look. It comes in three prints — stripe, plaid and polka dot — and is just $35.
More styles:
Kate Spade New York x Target Textured Polka Dot Puff Short Sleeve Blouse
Jacket-free days are finally in sight and blouses are on the brain. Brach is loving the adorable options in this collection, some of which are available in both women’s and girl’s sizing (including this one). With feminine puff sleeves and sweet bows, it’s perfect for wearing to spring holiday gatherings.
Kate Spade New York x Target Polka Dot Envelope Card Case
Brach thinks this card case (which makes it easy to stow your essentials) would make a great Mother’s Day or teacher appreciation gift. It comes in three color-print combinations: green and white stripe, red and pink floral, and black and white polka dot. And it’s just $15!
More styles:
Kate Spade New York x Target High-Rise Straight Leg Wide Cuff Jeans
Wide cuff jeans are having a moment and these ones — done in an elevated dark wash — can be worn almost anywhere. Dress them up with a blouse and jewelry, or wear them casually with your tried-and-true tee. They're size inclusive too, available in sizes 00 to 30.
Kate Spade New York x Target Bow Linear Drop Stud Earrings
Brach is eyeing the small accessories in the collection, including these earrings which are just $10! Despite the low price point, they feel super luxe and will dress up even the simplest of outfits.
Kate Spade New York x Target Strawberry Bag Charm Keychain
We’re seeing bag charms everywhere! According to Brach, accessorizing your accessories is in. This one is just $10, but will add a whole lot of cuteness to your favorite purse. Pro tip: It makes a great Easter basket stuffer.
More styles:
Kate Spade New York x Target Girls’ Textured Polka Dot Puff Short Sleeve Blouse
For those who are into "mommy and me" dressing, how sweet is this green girls' blouse, which matches the women's one? Brach's daughter, Ella, even took it for a spin! Pair it with the matching shorts below, or mix and match with denim or even white leggings.
Kate Spade New York x Target Girls’ Textured Polka Dot Ruffle Shorts
These shorts perfectly pair with the matching blouse above, but also provide an easy way to dress up a plain tank or tee. Made from the same fabric as the blouse, they're comfortable for little ones who like playing in the sun.
Kate Spade New York x Target Mini Polka Dot Linen Baby Doll Tank Top
With a polka dot print, this blouse is both timeless and trendy. Given the baby doll cut, it's also breezy — ideal for summer heat.
Kate Spade New York x Target Classic Rose Volume Midi Skirt
Speaking of skirts, this midi is our versatile pick for spring! You can pair it with everything from heels to white sneakers, and since it's long, wear it everywhere: a wedding, date night, even the workplace.

For the woman who wants to make a subtle statement, score these $10 faux-pearl studs.
Kate Spade New York x Target Red Floral Linear Earrings
Also available in green and blue, these floral earrings scream spring. Don't miss the opportunity to wear them to your next seasonal brunch!
A New Day Women's Coco Raffia Flower Slide Sandals
According to Brach, you don't want to sleep on Target's shoe section this spring — the retailer has a ton of new styles similar to those we're seeing from more expensive brands, but at affordable price points. Not only do these fit the woven trend, they have a memory foam insole for comfort.
Wild Fable Women's Elsa Eyelet Mary Jane Ballet Flats with Memory Foam Insole
For flats, this Mary Jane style has made a major comeback. Brach loves the eyelet detailing in this pair, as it lends a feminine touch. They come in a few other fresh spring versions too, like blush pink with embroidered flowers and cherry red gingham. For those who like to keep it classic, there's timeless black, too.
Pantene Keratin Leave-In Repair Treatment
With warmer weather coming up, Brach recommends preparing your hair with a high-quality leave-in to keep it from getting too dry. This is a new treatment from Pantene that uses keratin protein — an ingredient used in luxury, salon-grade products — to form bonds that protect hair against damage, per the brand. It has jojoba oil and argan oil, which help with split ends and color-treated hair. Plus, it’s multi-purpose: Use it as a leave-in treatment or as a styling serum. Just pump it into your palm and apply to damp or dry hair from root to tip.
Versed Soft Gloss Tinted Lip Serum
Several Shop TODAY editors have been longtime fans of Versed skin care, so when the brand dropped a range of skin-first makeup in February, a few members of our team excitedly gave the products a try. This lip serum, which is actually like a gloss but comes in easy-to-apply stick form, has vitamin E and shea butter to keep your lips moisturized all day, per the brand. It lends your lips a ton of shine without feeling sticky and comes in five shades, all of which are well suited to a variety of skin tones.
Shop TODAY production associate Audrey Ekman previously shared that this is her favorite product from the makeup line, “Out of everything I tried from the new line, this lip serum in the shade ‘Gem’ is by far my favorite,” she said. “It’s one of the most nourishing lip products I’ve ever used and actually has some staying power to keep lips moisturized, tinted and shiny for hours between applications. The gloss-balm hybrid consistency delivers the best of both worlds: It has the shine and cushion of a gloss without the stickiness or stringing that can come with goopy liquid formulas. I love the buildable berry tint of it, too!”
Versed Shade Swipe Blush Stick
Blush sticks are one of the most popular beauty products on the market. This one is already a brand best seller for Versed! Like the bronzer, it contains jojoba oil to hydrate the skin while adding color to your cheeks.
Shop TODAY associate editor Shannon Garlin tried and loved this product: “I have this blush stick in Bloom and the color is gorgeous. I especially love how buildable the shade is, so you don’t have to worry about over-applying or overdoing it. The formula is so smooth and blends flawlessly into the skin. It also dried nicely, and I barely had to apply powder over it to set it,” she previously shared.
Versed Cashmere Color Smoothing Lip Blush
This lip blush goes on like a soft matte balm, delivering sheer yet buildable coverage. Since it’s made with shea butter and camellia oil, it’s also hydrating, per the brand.
Versed Day Lash Lifting and Defining Mascara
This mascara emphasizes definition over volume, so it’s best for those looking for lightweight products. It’s also available in brown.
Versed Warm Dimension Bronzer Stick
Just in time for summer, this creamy, buildable bronzer will make you look glowy — not cakey — in the warm weather. It also contains jojoba oil, which conditions the skin, per the brand.
More Target spring launches
A New Day Knit Ballet Midi Shift Dress
A reader and editor favorite, this dress just returned with a new, wider strap and a more square neckline — and we think it’s the perfect spring and summer staple. Made from a super soft fabric, it’s light and easy to move in, while still flattering your shape. Plus, it has a slit for ease of movement and pockets for holding any last minute must-haves.
Stanley Stainless Steel H2.0 Flowstate Quencher Tumbler (30 Ounce)
The Stanley tumbler you know and love is here in fresh spring colors like lemonade, creamsicle and hydrangea. They’re perfect for adding to Easter baskets (you could even fill them with eggs!).
Revlon Super Lustrous Glass Shine Tinted Moisturizing Lip Balm
This fan-favorite lip balm is back with new packaging just in time for spring. According to the brand, the formula delivers moisture instantly, thanks to hyaluronic acid, aloe and rose quartz, while still providing that sheer, spring-y wash of color we're craving. Better yet, it's non-sticky and available in 10 shades to suit a wide range of skin tones.
RoC Retinol Correxion Line Smoothing Max Hydration Cream
Retinol is an ingredient worth incorporating into your routine, as its anti-aging benefits have been lauded by dermatologists for years. This cream by dermatologist-recommended brand RoC combines retinol & hyaluronic acid to plump lines with hydration while visibly reducing wrinkles and firming skin over time, per the brand. Note: If you’re wearing this during the day, you’ll want to pair it with a sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher, per the brand.
Goodfellow & Co. Men’s Comfort Wear T-Shirt
We all need a few classic t-shirts on deck and this new Goodfellow & Co style just might become his warm weather go-to. Made from a blend of cotton, modal and spandex, it's soft to the touch, per the brand. Since it's tailored in a standard fit, it can be worn on its own, tucked in or layered under button-downs and sweaters.
Universal Thread Button-Front Sweater Vest
Not only is this vest-style tank on trend, but it's the perfect transitional piece to take you from the office to spring soirées and everywhere in between. Made from a mid-weight cotton and boasting a shaker knit pattern, it has an elevated feel while remaining easy to wear. While it's still chilly, it will look great layered under your favorite blazer or denim jacket.
A New Day High-Rise Straight Leg Side-Tie Pull-On Pants
A cropped wide-leg pant will take you anywhere and everywhere this spring. This high-rise pair is made from a mid-weight woven fabric that's breathable, per the brand. On top, pair them with tanks, tees and blouses and your go-to denim jacket. On your feet, any of your favorite sandals, flats or sneakers will be perfect. They're so versatile.
A New Day Waist Detail Tank Top
There's something about spring and summer that beckons a fresh white top — this season, let this be the one. With a structured shoulder, cinched waist and drapey fabric, it has an effortless silhouette. It's also versatile, pairing well with everything from denim shorts to a long skirt.
A New Day Wide Leg Belted Palazzo Pants
When it comes to spring trousers, look for pairs that still feel pulled together while remaining light and airy. These new wide-leg pants from A New Day hit the mark. They manage both style and comfort thanks to their high-rise, draw string waist and pleats, offering a figure flattering silhouette on a variety of body types. They're available in sizes XS to 4X and according to the brand, they're wrinkle-resistant, too.
Universal Thread Trench Coat
Trench coats may be a classic, but they're also a major trend this year. For just $45, score this Universal Thread pick, which will stand the test of time in your closet given its timeless shape. It has a full lining, lending it a luxe feel. Plus, the back vent offers easy movement and breathability.
