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! :wacko: Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!!

I have two throws from the original release - colore and passione. I also have one of each from the second release as well as famiglia. There is a difference in the thickness of the later ones, but what was more obvious to me are the colors. The colors of the second release aren't as saturated & are brighter. I know people mentioned the white specks, but once I unrolled & used the new ones, they fluffed up & those specks were no longer that obvious.

IMO, though second release are still nice blankets for $40, I just think that people who own an original got spoiled cuz they were so much nicer. I gave the second release blankets as Xmas gifts & everyone loved them (my mom wanted to know if I could get her a 2nd one!)

Here's a pic of the tags from an original colore & passione & the new passione. I haven't unrolled my new Colore yet & I can't get to the tag while its still rolled.

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! :D

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

OU I know you! You bought the MFT dress from me, I'm Shelly in Owasso. Talk about a very small world! My throws are all from the second release so I don't have anything to compare them to. I'm sick about my Familia throw. I have a Doberman that I take everywhere with me because she loves to ride in the car. I didn't take her with me on Monday to take my daughter to school and she got very upset with me. She knows that my Familia throw is my favorite because I am always covered up with it on the couch. I came home from dropping off my daughter and my dog had eaten a hole in the middle of my throw! Today I'm going to sit down with different colors of thread and try to patch it as best as I can. Hopefully I can sew it up well enough for it to still look good thrown on the arm of the couch. The dog is very very lucky I love her so much! Ha!

Went to a store today I haven't been in forever. Old Time Pottery. For those who don't have them, it's a huge store with all sorts of household items, mostly lower quality stuff, but they do have some things that are nice. Well, I was SHOCKED to see all the poufs there, except for the floral one with the zigzag trim. At first I thought maybe these were knock-offs or something, or maybe another company got hold of the leftover material. I only own/have seen in person the brown chevron with the floral trim and I knew it was the exact same material. That one was $29.99. I turned it over to see if it had any markings/tags and sure enough, it had the tag...Made for Target corporation!

The blue, black and purple chevron were $49.99, but they are on sale for $38.88. In fact, on the way out of the store I grabbed the sales flyer and the blue, black and purple are in there!

Here's the link to Old Time Pottery and you can see the sales flyer if interested.

Coincidentally, I was wearing my long sleeved button down black and white zigzag polyester blouse.
