Missoni’s Home collection’s getting a double boost this year—Net-a-porter’s picked it up for summer and Target will carry a crazy array of Missoni product (bikes, clothes, accessories, furniture) starting September 13th. It’s always fun to compare “the real thing” with the Target version. For example, a $9,000 Rodarte dress versus a $29.99 Rodarte for Target outfit. But Missoni may offer the best comparison yet. When the Italian house hits Target in the fall they’ll offer an entire set of patio furniture for $599.99. Net-a-porter just posted their first shipment of Missoni Home product and among the towels and pillows is this candle, which sells for $520. The site says, “With four extended wicks, this statement piece will add instant warmth and color to an elegant dining table or patio.” Or you can wait, and for $80 more buy a whole patio!
