Next from Target? A Fall Collaboration with Missoni

My store was 30% off on bedding, luggage, well that is about all they had. I was tempted by the luggage, but it was still out of my price range. They did have the travel tote in the blue and white print that I am really considering, but wanted to get some reviews from people who own one. It is now priced around $35.00 and I was wondering if it is worth the price? I know many people said it felt cheap. I am just trying to figure out if I really need it or do I want it because it is Missoni and its on sale?
So what are your opinions on the Travel tote?

I like it - have yet to use it. I think it's black and white... I know it looks more navy. I would have loved to find it on clearance. You can always buy and return. Lucky you!!! My Targets are drying up!

I understand completely-lol. I still want a few things that I missed online on Sept. 13th. Some of them are online exclusives that I will most likely never find. But I keep going hoping to find one. The problem is, it's tempting to buy whatever Missoni they have that you kind of like.

I try to limit my trips to Targets nearby that I am passing while running other errands. But there is one Target further away that almost always has returns (wish I lived closer to that one ;)). And I've called to ask if they have anything before going to a specific Target to look. But as others have posted, Target CS can be pretty bad at times (it all depends on if you are lucky enough to get someone nice on the phone). Maybe if you can get your Missoni hunting (lol) strategy down, you won't waste too many trips to the store.

I also read several posts about problems with returns. I am still waiting on a few online items that if they ship (doubtful at this point), I will need to return the sizes I currently have. It seems some people are really having trouble with this--Target making them print out receipts at home, then telling them they need a diffferent receipt when they arrive back in the store. This is absolutely ridiculous. The packages should come with an invoice that allows you to return it to the store. This is very poor customer service, imo.

I need to come up with a strategy or see a therapist....lol! I've never been to target this many times in my life. Ive also never been so obsessed with anything. theres only 2 targets near me, but I drive out of my way to go to some.
The only things I ordered online were makeup cases...still want more by the way....and I ordered rain boots which I love! I cant get enough!
 
I received the small swirled glass vase that I ordered from Target's website the other day - so pretty! (And another thank you to this thread!)

Now I have all three of the glass vases, which makes me very happy, and I bought them all at retail, no inflated ebay prices.

My local Target had very little the last time I was there, but it did have 2 of the black and white sweater coat, both in XL. They were obviously returns (no Missoni for Target tags).

I tried one on - I'm afraid it was just too big. And at $79.99, too expensive. If I go back and see one on clearance, maybe.
 
I can't believe that I am still obsessed with MFT!!! I can't help but to look for things when I go into Target, but they are so hard to find! It's become a scavenger hunt since everything I've scored recently has been hidden!!!! One tip is that if you are looking for plates, look behind the plates that they have fronted on the shelf! I found a full set of the black and white floral print plates that way. Also, if you are still on a quest for a throw like I was, I just bought a Gucci throw for less than what the MFT throws are selling for on eBay at DSW!!!! I think I can finally put this madness/sickness to rest now!

I will keep checking although its disappointing when I drive to multiple targets to find them missoni-less. Nevertheless, I'm still going to look for items. There's more clothes and makeup bags that I want....lol. I'm too obsessed.

You guys may remember that I returned the girl's passione scarf a while back. Well, today is my birthday and since my mom knows how obsessed I've been with this collection she's been going to all three local Targets this week to see if she can find me the Infinity scarf I've really wanted to find. Well, I think she bought me the same girl's scarf I returned because it also didn't have a tag and it had the same snag I noticed before! I only returned it because I thought it was a bit small for $14.99 but she was able to get it for $5.99 so she good a great deal. Also, I was given a surprise birthday party at work and was able to take the rest of the cake home with me. There was a lot left, too much to put on a plate, so of course I put it on my MfT platter lol.

I love hearing all of these stories! I am still scavenger hunting too! I found a Passione floral bath towel today.....not marked down but I will thrilled regardless!
 
Wow! I love how the poufs look here. I ended up returning two large ones I got last month. I planned to use them for a bit of wasted space upstairs but I couldn't really work it out. The poufs were too large for my tinsy space. I am so envious of your library. I bet the guest room also looks awesome.

I love your library! I'm tempted to go back to Target during my lunch break (even though I was there yesterday) just to see if any more returns have trickled in.

:nuts: Wow! You found those both at your store, lucky you. They look great in your library. I saw the table at a local Target (while looking for Missoni) and liked that too. ;) I like how you were able to mix them with more traditional style furnishings.

Thanks, ladies! I have had so much fun hunting for items to 'freshen' up my traditional decor with.......Missoni home items have always been too expensive for me, especially with two kids running around and nothing being sacred!

Minatol.....here is my guest room:smile1: Of course my furbaby loves the white fuzzy rug....and my daughter is hiding in the 'fat' side of the curtains...LOL!

OK, so I've been to four Targets this week, hoping to find anything (on sale or otherwise) and have finally had some good luck. Sunday I found the famiglia panel dress (it's a size too big but I plan on wearing it under long cardis, so it'll work). Tuesday I found the passione tote (woo hoo!) ... and then today, the colore zigzag pillows popped up on the MfT Tracker as limited availability at by far the most disorganized Target in my area. I headed out (it's sort of on my way to work) and checked the scanner, which said it was in the stock room. I found the nicest Red Shirt who disappeared into the stock room and came back with a box....TWO of the zigzag pillows! They're full price but I don't care. Thanks again, Miss Kris--I hope when you get to heaven there's a room full of Missoni waiting for you! :hugs:

That room is magazine-worthy--I love how you've worked your Missoni things into the room!

I love the look of the Missoni with the sleigh bed!!!!!
 
Aloha! I am on vacation in Waikiki and the Target here called my name. So today after north shore, I stopped by one of the Targets here on Oahu.

I know... I've said it before, I have an addiction problem.

Anyhow... The prices are INSANE here! Most things are $10 more than mainland! I picked up the black sweater and it was marked down to $33.99. Wasn't it $39.99 on the mainland? Everything had a markup!
 
Target cancelled my remaining items and sent me a $25.00 gift card today.

I went online and found a regular Missoni (not Missoni for Target) scarf for $100 and I bought it!

I wore the B/W sweater coat out today (Its finally cool enough for a sweater) and had to get my tires checked. I felt like I looked like a tire wearing b/w zig zag. LOL

I keep thinking I'm done with Missoni at Target, but I check the racks every time I'm in a Target.

Yeah, there's at least a 20% markup on all the Missoni goods. Higher cost of living, having to transport everything via ship (versus trucks in the other 48 states), etc. At least the sales tax is a reasonable 4-ish percent! :p

authenticplease
: GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm a fan of how you made everything work w/o things being matchy-matchy. You incorporated the colore loop pillow into the mix, along w/the colore sweaterboxes even though you had a turq/brown theme going. I love oranges paired with turquoise. :D I have the chocolate creeping floral duvet, and I'm expecting that aqua pouf any day to also add it in the same room! Didn't get it on clearance as some other lucky ladies, but I don't care...looks to be worth the $99! :cool:
