My stock at the local Targets has completelt dried up so i'm feeling kind of over it. so sad.
I don't have the floral towel but I got the chance to see it in person (bath size) at the store (it is the only towel I saw at my stores). I had ordered the b/w towels online (just two) and wish I had more of them now. I also ordered just two of the stripe (for a relative) and wish I had some for myself (did find one hand towel in the stock room of one store though--thanks to Miss Kris).
I was shocked when I saw the floral towels because I thought the ones I saw (returns) must have been damaged or faded too. They reverse side (with the bl/w design) did look faded compared to my all b/w towels. And they didn't appear to be made out of the same material. So, the ones you are describing sound like the ones I saw in-store. I was wondering if the zig-zag designs were different??
I really like the b/w and the stripe much more than I thought I would. I planned on using them mainly for decorative purposes when I orderd. Now I wish I had ordered some of the zig-zag too.
I just read the next collab for Target will be Jason Wu, coming out February 5. I hope Target is a little more prepared for this collaboration when it comes to the website, stock, and limiting how many pieces people can buy, although maybe it won't be as popular. I have to think that after the success of Missoni the scalpers will be looking to stock up and sell on feebay. The collection will include clothing & handbags.
I got a shipping notice for the pouf I ordered too, yay!

I just thought of a couple of things I'd like to have to give for Christmas. Wish I would have thought of this earlier! Looks like I'm headed to Target at lunch. Now I'm looking for towels, a velour hoodie in small, medium sleep shorts, and whatever other little goodies I can find. Oh and of course throws! I have 4 girl cousins between 12 and 19 and they'd all love this stuff.
I never planned on buying a "pouf", but I was shocked yesterday when I walked into Target and found one sitting up at the front with the rest of whatever they have left...children's stuff and socks...nothing exciting. I know others have found them, but I never expected to see one in person.
It had the clearance sticker (40.06 reg 79.99) and I was again shocked at how nice it was. It's the brown striped chevron one with the floral binding. I have an odd fascination with that binding...lol. I don't know why they called it a pouf, because when I saw/heard that word in reference to these, I was thinking it was more like a huge fluffy pillow with not much support. This is definitely an ottoman, very solid with feet on the bottom and just beautiful! I know those of you who have it know that already, but I didn't! I should have looked at ebay to see some pics and there are some great pics on there.
I am grateful to whomever returned it...I love it so much and I think I've walked into the other room about 10 times this morning just to stare at it...lol. I'm hoping I will find another one...either the same or the floral one, but I'm not holding my breath!
I wish all of those looking for one good luck. If I found one, anyone can...I am not usually this lucky.

oooh....Which pouf did you order??? Whichever it is, I think you're going to love it!
It's true to size to possibly a little small in my opinion. I wear a 10 and an XL will work for me, but I'd rather a Large...and I find in most other things XL is more of a 12-14 than a 10. But others are seeming to not agree with me on this lol
All of you are giving me hope for finding a pouf! I may head out to Target again today. Maybe 2 Targets! But returns are pouring in at both locations so I don't want to miss one.
Good luck, ashley. I was hoping for a returned one too (actually I was hoping for three returned poufs
). But I caved and ordered mine when they became available again. I'm just not counting on seeing one in time to buy it at my Targets since I've seen so little compared to others. But you seem to be lucky with returns. Wish I could make you my Missoni for Target personal shopper.
The only problem with this whole collab is now I would like some of the matching pieces to the poufs--like the throws. And I doubt that will ever happen. I didn't even get to see all the bedding except for a brief moment before the website crash..then when it was back up nothing was available. I wish Target would have at least released a catalog of everything that was going to be available so that I could have planned better. But then again, I guess it wouldn't have mattered with the way things sold out so fast. It's a shame the whole collab wasn't managed better.
Congrats to those who are getting poufs shipped and those who managed to score a returned one.
Good luck! If I were you though, I wouldn't go to Target with great expectations, because then you may feel let down if you don't find one. Just go in and have a look around! Like I said, I found mine at the front with the other M leftovers, but it's a good idea to check all around the store. Since it would most likely be clearanced, they could put it on a clearance endcap/aisle. I have seen a couple clothing items on the reduced women's clothing racks and I've also seen a couple things on a shelf by a scanner and some folders in an odd place like groceries. You never know when someone will change their mind and just take it out of their cart (which I personally think is wrong...I always return an item to it's original spot in that case). In this case though, it may work in your favor!
eta: oh, nevermind, I just read La Comtesse's post above and it seems like you're an experienced finder of returns so you don't need any advice from me...lol. I still wish you luck though!
Keep searching.....I tried this on in a S yesterday. You will need either a S or M. The XL will be way to big IMO.
Yes, "pouf" doesn't seem like the correct term, does it? But I like saying it
(even if no one knows what I'm talking about when I do).I wish I had known how nice a lot of this stuff was in time to order it too. You just can't tell until you see it in person.
Re: the advice on finding items in Target, ashley may not need your advice but some of the rest of us do...
