Although some had half-jogged to the display of womenswear, menswear and accessories, the shoppers were largely polite to each other, friendly even, as they heaped armfuls of dresses and tops into shopping carts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As expected, the purses \u2014 including a selection of bags modeled after Lim\u2019s popular Pashli line and already sold out online \u2014 were quickly snatched up.<\/strong> But then Target workers rolled out a pallet piled high with more bags to replenish the racks.<\/p>\n<p>Shoppers quickly swooped in to a tight circle around the pile, hovering, agitated, as workers loaded the purses on the display and barked at those who got too close.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as the OK was given, fashionistas by the fistful swarmed toward the bags, creating a 30-second scramble of shouting and flailing arms before the crowd picked the rack clean.<\/p>\n<p><a
