Orla Kiely’s low-priced housewares available at Target

Though she started her career in the late 1990s as a fashion accessories designer, London-based Orla Kiely has branched out into housewares. Her signature ‘50s-inflected food and flower prints have been translated into an affordable range of cute kitchen items exclusive to Target. In addition to storage totes, from $7.99, and button-tufted chair pads, $13.99, the line includes table linens and cork place mats. Mix-and-match melamine dishes, $3.49 to $3.99, and acrylic tumblers, $2.49 to $3.49, are destined for double duty as picnic place settings, but the steals of the collection are the stoneware canisters with wooden lids shown here, in three sizes, from $14.99 to $17.99. Available at Target stores and www.target.com.
