Missoni at TARGET
Target has the right idea when it comes to all things consumer. With their low prices and trendy products and bright lights and shiny wide isles it’s a one stop for me.
Today Target unveiled the MISSONI at TARGET line – Missoni is a fab designer label which makes expensive awesome things that my budget can’t afford. Sooo when Missoni was coming to TARGET of course I was all about it.
I live in the burbs and didn’t really think there would be a problem with me getting a peek and maybe picking up a few Missoni items. You know …on the cheap!
Target opens at 8am. I met my fab friend and fellow chatty girl @thechatshop – @westchesterlife for some coffee and we both headed off to TARGET to check out the goods.
Little did we know that all of TARGET was in a choatic buzz. Not ONE SINGLE Missoni item was available! It sold out in minutes!
The displays were empty. The only remininence of anything Missoni were the ladies who had been there since opening with carts full of MISSONI. Who knew there were so many fashion obsessed mama’s up here in the burbs!
This did not deter us. We did not give up, we went on a HUNT for a sighting of anything MISSONI. We found goods in random isles and even in the dressing rooms.
I scored a Skirt for $39.99 and a Blue Knit dress for $65.99
Sarah picked up a baby onesie and shoes for a 3 year old. She also scored a throw pillow and a wine bottle holder. Christmas presents she said.
We were scavengers I tell ya!
The employees had no idea what hit them. The girl at checkout asked me what this was all about. She said she has never seen this sort of buzz at Target before. Apparently the line was ridiculous before the store opened and the burb mama got the goods fast.
The Target Website has appeared to have crashed this morning from too much traffic. Everyone has MISSONI fever!
What a success..brava Target…you have succeeded at bringing fashion to the masses!
So glad I didn’t bother going at 9. There wouldn’t have been a shred of anything. And I can’t deal with that kind of insanity. Can you imagine what it must have been like? A Missoni Feeding Frenzy!
it was a total feeding frenzy that’s exactly what it was and it was 10am!! people were looking everywhere to anything missoni!
All of those empty racks! There was just a little left at our store but the clerks said people bought thousands of dollars worth of stuff and are listing it on ebay! Crazy!
same here.. the checkout girl told me that people were buying 1000’s of dollars worth of stuff. she’s never seen anything like it!
I went to Target today just get to get regular stuff. I’ve never been a huge fan of Missoni. But the two women in front of me were! The first woman spent $1000 and the next woman spent $500. All Missoni stuff! I can understand buying a thing or two. But these women were buying entire wardrobes full of Missoni! Do you really need a closet full of the same pattern? I had no idea.
it was the same at our target! i don’t want a closet full of the pattern. I love my skirt and dress and an good with that. But the lines and vases looked gorgeous!!!
Crazy, I heard the Brooklyn Target sold out of Missoni stuff in 15mins! PS I love your new skirt and it goes great with the top you had on!
