Sounds like a creationist brand

I think the Launch Guide said not all Room Essential will be gone as a lot of back to college product is going to continue to be RE.

Sounds like a creationist brand

And very on brand statement from you @Militantagnostic

NO ROOM ESSENTIALS IS ICONIC HOW DARE THEY

I'm actually being serious I really do love the RE brand

 

[can't touch this]

is it new stuff or just rebranded RE tho

 

[countingsheep]

Wow so Target doesnt want a single former loyal shopper then. . .seriously the regulars at our store are thinning considerably. This is exactly how jc penny started its downhill slide to. My gut tells me this is all going to blow up in targets face :/

More like RIP to the price change team this week.

 

[YoNanas]

Yeah on Workbench

They should have informed everyone by posting it in the TSC like they did with Hunter, etc. Like who really reads on Workbench. Anyway it will be the same quality just a new name.

I love the RE brand when it goes clearance. Now I can go find deals when it gets ticketed. Yay!

So let’s change something that has been working for years. Typical Target. How does “Made By Design” sound trendy or make me want to want to buy a product more?

I’ll give you that, some of the clothing names did work. I just thought “Room Essentials” sounded better. Perhaps they are trying to get away from the image that it’s the cheap furniture brand or perhaps change it because of recalls/lawsuits against the brand.

oh I agree. I love room essentials. hands down my favorite owned brand. I also loved "the dollar /one spot" branding. time marches on.

Relaunching their brands has worked quite a bit for softlines.

Welcome to "Made By Design"

... as opposed to "made by accident?"... pretty low bar we're setting there...

 

[BullseyeBlues]

Cue guests making dad jokes like “Who’s Design?” Or just plain asking “whose design, though?”
