Acclaimed artist and designer John Derian, whose legendary East Village shop has been a destination for whimsical gifts and curiosities since 1995, has returned with a highly anticipated new holiday collection for Target. This launch is perfectly timed for the festive season, offering a fresh array of Victorian-inspired treasures to complement items from his previous coveted drops.
Standout Pieces from the Collection
The collection features numerous items that blend Derian's signature archival aesthetic with holiday cheer. A brushed faux-poinsettia wreath, measuring 26 inches, provides a classic look without maintenance and has earned a perfect 5-star rating from reviewers. One customer, Karyn, raved about its beautiful glitter details and easy-to-fluff wired ribbon.
Other notable decor includes a dashing glass deer ornament measuring 3.5 inches across, part of a series that includes a Federal-style home, a heart, a snowman, and a Christmas tree. For cozy evenings, a reversible 70-by-50-inch cotton throw features an oversized holiday floral print and a vintage montage backing, praised by reviewer Chantal for its beauty and year-round versatility.
Vintage Charm and Festive Hosting
The collection strongly emphasizes vintage-inspired pieces, including Victorian-style stockings crafted from a homespun cotton-linen blend for $25. It also taps into the growing trend of collectible blow molds with a 14-inch tall vinyl Christmas tree figurine that emits a warm glow when lit, offering an accessible price point compared to rare finds on eBay.
For home styling, an artichoke-shaped throw pillow measuring 16 inches adds unexpected greenery, while a velvet-soft Merry Christmas floral pillow with a maroon base and beaded script elevates seasonal decor. The collection also includes practical items like a decoupage-inspired turkey puzzle with 597 pieces and a versatile red-and-white leaf-patterned tablecloth suitable for year-round use.
With prices ranging from $8 for ornaments to $45 for the popular wreath, John Derian for Target provides stylish and affordable options for both hosting and gifting this holiday season.
