Okay, of course I had to see these for myself. I went last night and they had the white, blue and black version of the swing pack, the white cutout handle and some other various ones.
First off, ITA with katlun....I would NOT pay full price for these...maybe at 50% I would grab one just to say I have a Gryson, but not full price. The woven ones are cute from far away, but look like they could be destroyed with one small catch on one of the woven pieces (which were VERY loose). The only one that I think I personally would be interested in was the large see thru tote. Seems like it would make a great beach bag (if I didn't already have a brand new V/S pink one that I bought last summer and 2 freebie V/S totes from bathing suit purchases).
On an unrelated note, the Jovonovich-Hawk for Target stuff is marked down already. I picked up a cute tie back tee for $11 (just had to).

I know I am going to get flack here but IMHO the Gryson for target bag looks like a cheap ChinaTown version of a real Gryson. I swear I had to laugh looking at the 2 together from iluvmybags. Have you ever seen the horrible LV fakes in Chinatown? Laughable with plastic handles and what-not.
I do like the blue totebag, looks like a great beach bag. I'll probably get that.
