My grandma is a fashion writer and, in her day, she was recognized on the streets of Paris, Milan, and New York City by other savvy fashionistas. She knew everybody and still has connections in restaurants, shops, and museums around the world. One of the things that I learned from her experience is that, “If you stick with it, you and your friends can eventually conquer the world.”

Today at Target, Ted Vadakan and Angie Myung are proving my grandmother right. Just a few years ago, they were my friends who made super-cool wallets among other things. This morning, they are the featured designers at Target. Right up there with Isaac Mizrahi and Jonathon Adler.

Whether you like Target or you love it, Poketo’s accomplishment is an inspiration. So, which of you will I be bragging about next?
