On Sunday, Target released the much-anticipated 3.1 Phillip Lim collection, offering an appealing line of modestly-priced designer handbags, clothing and other accessories. But if you weren't there when stores opened at 8:00am, chances are, ya got nuthin': At Target, shoppers scramble for 3.1 Phillip Lim bags.
Stores were pretty much ransacked. Phillip Lim racks were reportedly stripped clean just ten minutes after opening. According to the Los Angeles Times, shoppers at the Target store in West Hollywood were relatively civil and polite to one another... until employees rolled out an additional pallet of handbags to re-up.
Then shit got real.
Here's video of what a full-blown handbag swarm looks like:
