So if you have been living under a rock or possibly submerged in a submarine, miles down in the ocean, then you might have missed the big event taking place at TARGET.
Missoni, which is a huge fashion house, did a ton of different lines for TARGET. They had lines in every category from baby bedding, to home decor, to womens clothing & accessories, to bicycles and luggage and so much more.
Missoni is something I could never imagine, in my lifetime, owning.
They are notorious for their zigzag prints on all of their creations.

Missoni is a huge part of fashion history.
The demand for their goods blew away black Friday shopping days.
They even crashed the TARGET online website.

It was insane in the membrane.
It was so much fun to watch, read about, and see happen on television.
A few friends of mine went to the stores and got their purchases and I was so happy for them.
Although, I didn't make it to TARGET, nor did I, order online I just happened to look over at our loveseat this morning and thought to myself that I have a very special unintentional Missoni knock off that is about twenty five years old, with a rainbow zigzag print, that has me kept me and my family toasty through the winter months, and handmade by with much love by my great grandpa.
I love my handmade zigzag afghan that grandpa made, while sitting in his comfy recliner, more than any brand name machine made piece of history and this is coming from a lover of all things related to fashion, style & trends.
I couldn't even put a price on grandpa's afghan even if I tried.
My grandpa's afghan makes my heart go pitter-pat .
You can't beat that.
