Target.com down due to Missoni launch

I think the flats are cute but I can't purchase because the site is completely down.....

Anyone else get on before the crash?

Re: Target.com down due to Missoni launch

  • No :( I tried several times this morning and couldn't get it to load.  I'm thinking a trip during my lunch break is in  order...
  • I'm going to swing by the Wheaton Target on my way home and see if anything is left. They took forever to sell out of the Liberty of London stuff, so I am hopeful.

    If anyone sees the flats in an 8.5, they're mine!!!

  • I was early to drop the pup off for doggie day care, so I decided to swing by the Target at Potomac Yard- the line at 5 til 8am was wrapped around the store.  I went in anyway because I needed some cleaning supplies, but ended up Missoni shopping too.

    I got:

    the flats

    the cardigan in the multi zig that matches the flats

    the clutch that matches the flats

    a hat, scarf and mitten set for our 18 month old niece

    The store was completely cleaned out by the time I left at 8:15.

  • If you haven't gone to the store yet, don't bother. It's too late now. I went at lunch time and there was almost nothing left. They had quite a few toddler girl items left, but that was basically it. The sales associate said it was like Black Friday with a line of people waiting to get in at 8 am.

    I saw another post on MM about other DC-area Target stores also being sold out. I think it's a lost cause.

    Darn it. I should have gone into work late. Oh well, I'll just go in a few days and wait for restock and returns :-)

  • really??? why???? that stuff is so ugly!  what am i missing here???  for me, it's worse than the Vera Bradley stuff (quilts). in all honesty, i'm not a big fan of trendy stuff, but i really havent even seen this stuff around. it sounds like the latest trend, so please explain what i'm missing.  how/why is it so popular?

    Its not new or part of the latest trend - Missoni is a pretty huge Italian fashion house, and has been around at least since the 70s, if not way before.  Their trademark is lots of knits, bright color combinations, and a chevron pattern, which makes it pretty distinct and easy to recognize.  

    I suspect this is just like the flurry of activity surrounding the other designer collaborations at Target - people just want to own something "designer" at a discount price.  And unlike some of the other pieces from other collections, some of these actually look like the real thing. 

  • I got a few things online early early this morning.  I am annoyed because I have read that people were just grabbing whatever they could get their hands on and are re-selling it on ebay with ridiculous markups.  The whole point was to let everyone have access to something designer.

  • I got the flats online. I hope they fit!

    no fear - I had to Google " Missoni " -- I don't really care for it, but I guess that's just more for those who do ! 

  • I read the subject line too quick, and thought it was saying that Target STOCK was down b/c of Missoni.  I figured that since I'd heard so many people talking about how fugly it is that the launch was a huge flop and caused a dip in business.  I spend too much time on MM , I think...
