I’m interrupting my regularly scheduled blog broadcast because MISSONI madness has swept Target stores nationwide and it’s getting a little crazy! The high-end Italian designer’s new line hit stores this morning and created so much online traffic, Target’s website crashed. Thousands of women across the country who waited in line for hours before the doors opened in hopes of the unique, uber-hyped zig zag designed merchandise at discounted prices were left stressed and actually leaving Target empty handed (and how often does that happen?)
Luckily, San Francisco shopping isn’t Los Angeles (where I heard lines started at 5 am) and my friend was able to stand with about 100 people in Colma, Ca, get in fast, and grabbed a few Missoni designs that were still available. The store was wiped out by 8:15 am with only children’s clothes still hanging.
There was cart snatching, sweater dress hoarding and mad dashes for merchandise. The website “error” message frustrated online shoppers as they crossed their fingers and frantically typed in their credit cards.
I started hearing the buzz and seeing TV commercials the past few weeks that Missoni would be launching it’s line in Target Sept. 13th for only about a month. The GOOD news! The stores may be emptied now, but there will be some re-stocking and people who took loads of merchandise home will make returns.
When I first saw clothes and home items, I thought the designer bike would be cool ($399). But seeing how $10 single speed bikes are stolen in San Francisco, I knew this would be a terrible investment.
One winner will get the bright colored Missoni for Target zig zag clutch outlined in black leather with a cute leather tassle (below).

people went absolutely nuts over this collection! I managed to snag a scarf and some flats even though i was at work
I have it! Really great clutch! cool giveway!
Come back soon to visit my blog, I’ll be waiting for you!
Cosa mi metto???
I’m almost embarrassed to say that I never heard of Missoni…And as a crocheter I usually stay away from zig zag stripes! That goes to show you…I’m not “in” the loop right now! ^_^ Maybe if I win this bag, and let it inspire me to make some zig zag scarves, I can change all of that! So I’m in!!!
I do like the cardigan featured in Elle or In Style or Seventeen?! haha Too many mags to remember!
But, still more than I am currently willing to pay.
Oh. Already following
Hey, thank you for your comment!
I am crazy for these maison! I love Missoni and their colors. Now, tell me… These giveaway is just for U.S. people? Cause I really want to participate, but I’m from Brazil.
I love your blog.
