Next from Target? A Fall Collaboration with Missoni

[nova_girl]

My last 4 shipments arrived today. I'll miss not having big MfT boxes waiting for me when I come home. The only new thing that arrived was the black maxi skirt; after reading some reviews online I wasn't sure I'd like it but I think I'll keep it since I don't have a long black skirt in my wardrobe. The other items were things I re-ordered once the price went down (pink flats, chiffon shirt, black and white tee and colorful coat). At least I still have my ebay MfT items waiting for me at the Post Office

Nova_girl , forget the reviews-its a great long black skirt-i love the pattern, tone one tone, but definitely zigzagged.-I bought two I love it so much I know its polyester-but it feels wonderful.:lolots:

Alright, i got my last shipment of Missoni yesterday and wow, i love it! I'm really bummed that it suddenly disappeared from the site. I got the space dye vest, black and white chevron vest, green sweater, pajama pants, black and white chevron dress, and coloure striped sweater...all that for barely $120 with all those discounts and coupons. Mind you, I already had the throws, ipad case, umbrella, and luggage. You would think I would be Missoni'ed out but NOPE! lol I think I was needing an intervention so perhaps it's good it all disappeared. BTW no matter where I go people stop me and say "Love that Missoni" or "is that Missoni?" :lolots:

Hey, everyone! I'm new here. I discovered this forum after Googling "Missoni for Target" and this was in the results. I ended up reading through this entire topic and enjoyed following along with all your MfT-enduced highs and lows!

In the end, I tracked down four returns from my local store's clearance racks and got six things from the online restock, so I came away with ten pieces. Though it feels greedy to say this, there are a few things that got away. I would have really liked to have gotten the brown open cardigan, and it will forever haunt me that I held in my hands the gold infinity scarf ... and put it back. I'm a bargain hunter (MfT, even on clearance, was a massive splurge for me), and I just couldn't justify paying that much for a scarf. Having said that, I'm absolutely thrilled with what I got and actually don't have even a bit of buyer's remorse. As someone who usually scoops things up from the clearance racks when they're a couple bucks, that's saying something!

What I got...

Black sweater dress with front panel
Brown/blue zigzag sweater dress
Blue/brown zigzag cardigan
Purple/green v-neck cardigan
Gold space-dyed cardigan
Gold space-dyed tank
Girl's brown leggings
Girl's zigzag scarf
Colore canvas tote
Colore umbrella

I wore my black and white sweater vest yesterday. I was a little disappointed. The Passione one was made with such a better knit. The black and white had that 'holey' type knit and by the end of the day it had a couple of pulls. I sit at a desk all day so it definitely should not have done that. I only paid $14 for it though so, not that big of a loss.

I find some items are more delicate than others. I wear minimal jewelry or bracelets that will not snag when brushed against the sweater.

Also I'm kind OCD about it and I pull those snags from outside in if possible.

Trust me - no one notices but you.

Ha! That's probably true. I'll see how it goes through the wash. I'll probably keep it in my closet for a while.

Wore my gold space dye cardigan to work today and received a couple of compliments the quality and everything about it is perfect!

For wash, someone many many posts ago mentioned using Dreft -- not having kids, I had never used it, but bought a bottle (at Target of course) and wanted to say how well it worked. I washed all of the long cardigans and big sweaters and all came out soft and undamaged, with colors unchanged. I got almost all of my items for eBay prices and was super worried about damaging them in the wash.

Just wondering if anyone with a throw from the original release had a pic of the white tag under the Missoni label? I bought a colore one in September and cut the white paper-like tag off, but I would like to know if there is a code that differentiates the first release from the second (Nov/Dec release?) I ordered a colore throw from target.com when they restocked online in December and it is a totally different quality (and not for the better!) I have since then purchased 2 on eBay from sellers who claim that it was from the original release but they all say "Q4" and are the lighter versions. I know that I have lost my mind in the madness to find another heavy throw, but I am so frustrated to have paid waaaay over retail for the same quality that I paid $39.99 for in December! Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!!

The original release ones say "Q3." I do not have a throw from the original release, but that is what members have said on this thread.

Yeah, Q3 is original release and Q4 are the second release ones. I learned that here on this thread. I bought two from ebay Q4 (one famiglia one and one colore one) and the passione one Q4 directly from target. Me with OCD i weighed them. The coloure one is the heaviest (almost 4 lbs) and the best made, next is famiglia (3.5 lbs) and the passione one is the lightest (2.9 lbs). All 3 of them do not have the straight stitching some people were complaining about and as far as I'm concerned, I like them and think they are of good quality for $40. Of course, I have nothing to compare them to. I've never seen Q3 in real life. It seems like it's the color of the blanket that differentiates the quality/weight? Not sure. I did get one passione one from target that was heavy (almost 4 lbs) but I returned it because the dye job wasn't as good as the one I kept. It seems like there is no quality control and what you get is what you get lol. It's weird how one of my blankets is almost a pound heavier than the other. I have used the colore one the least because I'm afraid to ruin it. Plus it's a bit heavy (I kind of like lighter blankets). Not sure if this helps but just my experience with these.
