Yes, factory outlets allow customers to buy branded items at discounted prices, creating a win-win situation for sellers and buyers. They do this mostly by clearing out excess inventory or stock from previous seasons. Moreover, in India, the retail market is expected to reach $1.7 trillion by 2030, with factory outlets…

The Advantages of Bedroom Furniture

Every home can benefit from having high-quality, solid wood furniture. These items are timeless, adaptable, and incredibly well-liked. Solid wood furniture from furniture stores in Rhode Island is mostly considered by interior design for every area in the house, from bedrooms to living rooms to dining rooms and beyond. Unfortunately, a lot of people opt for furniture constructed of inferior materials. These can be made quickly and at a lower cost, but they don't have the size, grandeur, longevity, or tradition of solid wood furniture.

Strong, durable construction

One of the strongest, most resilient, and longest-lasting materials is wood. Cheaper materials, like MDF, are easily damaged and over time start to chip. They are fragile and flinch under pressure. They may start to squeak with use over time.

Undeniable beauty

Solid wood, like oak or pine, from a furniture factory outlet has a distinctive appearance, feel, and air of dignity and allure. No two pieces of solid wood are the same, from lighter shades to rich, dark tones.

Creative flexibility

Some materials are only appropriate for certain items, spaces, or themes. None of these restrictions apply to wood. It is a material that blends well in almost every environment, from more contemporary design choices to more rustic, traditional ones.

Similar to how multiple finishes and wood species can be intimately combined, achieving a visual harmony that a material like plastic can never achieve. A lighter wood, like oak, can be combined with the deeper tones of solid pine stained in a finish like Old Wood to create a variety and versatility in interior design.

Waldmann pens aren't silly expensive because they're pens. They're silly expensive because the body and cap is hand worked sterling silver made by unionized employees in the EU. They're gonna wax poetic about writing experience and history and whatnot, but the fact of the matter is that they're basically making and selling a small piece of artisan showboating that you happen to be able to put ink into and write with. Most big pen brands that have fountain pens in their range do so, including the people who make G2 gel pens.

They still sell, because all of humanity likes a good sparkly twinkly thing, even the parts of humanity with a higher financial pain tolerance than most.

Whether these are actually meant to be written with is a point of debate. Some collectors say no, several makers say yes. There were 23 pens made of the one in the picture. I personally believe that doesn't really speak to a philosophy of "everyone deserves an excellent writing experience", but I'm very aware that's an opinion that will get me ripped apart by some people in the fountain pen hobby.

The reason most fountain pens are more expensive than dip pens, is because they're designed for everyday use, meaning the nibs take decades to wear out and you can store enough ink in one for several pages of writing instead of having to carry ink around. You can't use most of them with art inks, like India or pigment inks, but the non-silly expensive ones are made as an everyday writing tool, and not primarily for calligraphy or art.

Comparing dip pens to fountain pens is like comparing artist grade oil pastels to a 5 pack of crayons given to a toddler at a restaurant. They can be used similarly, but they do not serve the same function.

In the words of my people:

...Yeah, no.

Excerpt from this story from Canary Media:

Three days before President Trump took office, an undersea-cable company abandoned plans to build a plant that would employ up to 350 people in Somerset, Massachusetts. Media outlets were quick to spotlight the loss as a specter of what’s to come for the offshore wind industry that Trump put on ice with the stroke of a pen last week.

It’s a reminder that Trump’s attempts to kill the offshore wind industry threaten not just the decarbonization plans of a few states, but job opportunities for a wide array of Americans. In fact, over 64% of the offshore wind manufacturing and supply-chain investments made or announced are in Republican congressional districts, according to data from industry group Oceantic Network.

The 64% statistic describes mostly private investment into offshore wind but also includes some public investment, including money flowing in from the Inflation Reduction Act, the Biden administration’s cornerstone climate law and a favorite target of Trump. In total, $3.4 billion has either been invested in or pledged to Republican districts to build a domestic offshore wind supply chain.

“Who’s benefiting? It’s the entire United States,” said Liz Burdock, president and CEO of the group, which previously went by the name Business Network for Offshore Wind.

But Trump last week signed an executive order that paused the approval of leases, permits, and loans for both offshore and onshore wind energy pending a federal review. The freeze will likely impact projects in earlier stages of development while the nine commercial-scale offshore wind projects that already have federal permits in hand appear safe.

It could also ripple throughout the emerging U.S. offshore wind supply chain. Developers have signed nearly 2,000 supply-chain contracts with manufacturing firms in 40 states, including some that are hundreds of miles from a coastline, like Ohio and Wisconsin.

For example, said Burdock, Italian shipbuilding firm Fincantieri is building customized offshore vessels in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, which is part of a Republican congressional district. And in Houston, Texas — which she called the ​“engine” of offshore wind manufacturing — multiple companies are adapting technologies used for the region’s offshore oil operations to accommodate offshore wind.

America currently has 73 gigawatts of offshore wind capacity in various stages of development, according to the latest data collected by the American Clean Power Association. Before Trump returned to office, the industry group estimated that offshore wind would support 56,000 jobs by 2030. About a third of those would be operation and maintenance jobs while the vast majority would be direct construction jobs, at least in these early years of the sector.

Only one commercial-scale U.S. offshore wind project is in operation today, but at least five more are under construction, all off the coastlines of Northeastern states.

In addition to the money flowing to manufacturing projects to support these installations, Oceantic reports that offshore wind has spurred $1.8 billion worth of direct investments into updating 21 shipyards and across 12 states, like the St. John’s Ship Building shipyard in Palatka, Florida, which sits in a district that’s been represented by a Republican since 1989.

Thousands of workers are also helping to update 25 ports across the East, West and Gulf coasts that will store massive wind components and safely load them onto vessels that can then carry them miles out to sea for installation. Oceantic reports that a recent revitalization project at a Connecticut port created 400 construction jobs and sourced components from Texas.

Last week, I was driving past the local shoe emporium, when I thought it might be a good idea to buy some shoes. Seizing the wheel with both hands, I roughly jagged the Valiant across four lanes of interprovincial traffic. Did I lift throttle as I approached the casually-landscaped dirt embankment separating the parking lot from the outlet mall? Only if I were a coward who drove an untrustworthy car.

After the '74 Vally ceased its end-over-end rolling, landing perfectly on its wheels like a 3400-lb ballerina made mostly out of iron oxide, I stepped out and headed into the mall. Now, if you haven't been to a mall lately, you're probably a normal human being. The only folks who still roam the shattered husks of Western cultural imperialism that dot our apocalyptic landscape are the poor souls that are paid to be there. And also old people, doing mall-walking, because it's too hot to exercise outside.

When the world still made sense, there was a plinth here, marked "information." You could look at a little map of the mall, broken down by categories. In this era, there is no "Men's Shoes" category. There is no map at all. Two burned-out T8 fluorescent bulbs un-shine behind an empty lens, the paper having been removed by some bitter ex-employee turned vandal decades prior. I do not need a map: I already know this particular territory.

Through an unusual – some might say creepy, although that goes way too far and you should get out more – agreement, the Shoes Unlimited is constantly replenished with footwear that other, richer stores did not want. It's not clear what happens to the shoes that do not get bought here, but I am sure it is not a pretty fate.

That is, if any shoes are ever discarded at all. Without a crack management team, the employees have gone feral, resorting to only the activities required for retail survival. The floor is covered in a couple feet of discarded shoeboxes, crinkly tissue paper, and loose athletic trainers which will never again see their factory mate before the sun konks out.

After a few minutes of searching, I finally pick up a box marked Piloti with a picture of a race car on the side of it. Driving shoes, I reason, or at least ones that were made before Formula One turned into a boating event. Although the thermal label on the side of the box is faded, it looks vaguely like my shoe size. My prize is carried to the counter, where I place it in front of an employee who looks at me with a mixture of fear and disgust. I have played this game before, and we begin a wordless game of negotiation, locked in slow-motion combat like two chess players who are trying to figure out which one of the two of us has to take a shit first.

The world turns. Twenty dollars – a moist but otherwise perfectly legal Lizzy 2 – is placed on the counter, and accepted at last. I change my shoes right there, throwing my old ones into the mess on the floor. Will they benefit some other traveller, in the distant future? We may never know, but we have to keep trying.

tagged by @moviesludge so this totally gratuitous info dump is his fault! Har har.

Do you make your bed? Sometimes! We usually just smooth out the covers, just so it's easy to get in at night and not all tangled up. I have a lot of just, executive and mechanical problems with maintenance and cleaning. I actually like having things neat and I like the monotony of cleaning, I have a fantasy life in which I'm just straight up a housewife, but I'm really bad at it. It causes me a lot of grief.

Fave number? 2! From when I was really little I had this sense that two was coming up all the time; obviously this must have been some sort of projection, but it stuck with me. I perceived some sort of subtext about being number two in life somehow, like being good but not meaningfully great at anything, which is fairly neurotic but typical of me as a kid. Anyway I was very disappointed when I learned by accident that Adam Levine has "222" tattooed on his arm, so I guess I won't be doing anything like that!

What’s your job? I guess I have to say I'm a writer, which feels embarrassing. If you say something like that, it sounds like you are succeeding at it, or that you at least make a living that way! Which is not, and may never be true. But it's the only thing anyone will pay me for right now. I have to admit that I feel pretty bad about this, I think I made a huge mistake by trying to see what I could do with my life, and not devoting absolutely all of my energy to finding and keeping a job in a cubicle or behind a cash register. Everyone automatically tells you it's best to "follow your dreams" or whatever but it's not very romantic to have no idea what's going to happen to you, and to be in danger because you're a fucking infant who doesn't know how life works.

Go back to school? Probably not. I was a good student up until I got into college, then I completely fell apart. Part of it was what I now understand are neurological issues, part of it was that I was so depressed I couldn't even get up and go to exams at times, and part of it was that I just had absolutely no idea what to do with my life or even HOW people do things with their lives (I still don't). Like I almost should have just done another four years in high school, or until I had some mental grasp of what college is even for, as a tool for transitioning into real life. The irony is that now I do college-level (possibly even grad level, sometimes) research and writing all the time, under my own power, just because I'm interested and I have a few outlets for it. My professors who struggled to get me to do anything would kill me if they could see what I'm doing now, haha. But if I were to go back to school, I would have to have an absolutely definite plan of why and what to do with it, that would make the debt and the time sink worth it. I admire people who do this, though, I do know adults who totally turned their lives around that way. I just don't have the brains for that.

Can you parallel park? I don't have a driver's license! I learned to drive, and I seem to recall being good at this during lessons. But I failed my one test, I genuinely think the conductor was being really confusing and getting angry with me--like, I was waiting at a light and when it turned green I started to go, and she goes, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!" and I said "I stopped at the red light and when it turned green I drove in the direction you told me to" and she goes "...WELL DID YOU *NOTICE* THAT IT TURNED GREEN???" which was a totally mindblowing question. And then I just felt so demoralized that I never tested again. But I also really think that if I got my license I would be dead by now, or someone else would be. I'm just so extremely nervous and absent-minded, and I also have pretty bad spacial understanding.

Job you had that would surprise people? My first job was working in a perfume factory! Or really it was like a plant that packaged these extremely toxic dollar store perfumes. It was run by a Russian family who were totally fucking insane and the machines were all janky, it was just a handful of us girls from high school working there and it's amazing none of us ever got maimed. The glue for the labels was really shitty, so they would set pallets of bottles out in the sun until they were blazing hot and then we were supposed to roll them between our palms to stick the labels back on. It was extremely painful and I remember thinking, they probably shouldn't be allowed to make us do this lol. The building was tucked back off the road across this wasteland, and there was a giant pile of broken toilets out front. I'll never forget that, I wish I had a photo.

Aliens real? You know what, I'm going to completely plagiarize moviesludge's answer because I find it so satisfying: "I feel like the scope of the universe makes this a certainty and it amazes me how many people think it’s a ridiculous idea. Talk about main character syndrome!" And I will just add that I read Whitley Strieber's Communion for the first time last year and it totally stunned me. I thought I knew what it was going to be like, because to some degree it established all of our cliches about alien abduction, but there's way more to it than that. He has this existential concept about what aliens even are, and what rules they obey, that is not at all restricted to the idea of animals that drive machines around. It's totally worth reading.

Can you drive stick? That's how I learned actually! And I have this concept that if I did have to drive I would be decent at it because I was fairly comfortable during lessons, and for years I have been riding my bike in really tricky situations all over the city. I know and obey the rules and I have a pretty good awareness of myself on the road. And also I always seem to be paired with a best friend or partner who LOVES to drive and I have spent huge amounts of time in cars, paying close attention and helping navigate. But as I said above, my brain is also garbage and I think if I drove a LOT and gave myself regular opportunities to get in trouble, I would inevitably have a nervous breakdown and/or fuck up way worse than a normal person.

Guilty pleasure? I'm with @thechurchofsplatterdaysaintssplatterdaysaints in that I sort of object to this concept. But I also spend a lot of time watching absolute shit movies and television, and some of the time I have an excuse--it's fun, it's anthropologically interesting, whatever--but a lot of the time I'm literally just deadening my senses because I'm so overloaded with depression and anxiety, and I'm not even paying attention, the TV is just ON. I don't think that's great. I don't know if I would call this "pleasure" but it is some form of indulgence.

Tattoos? A bunch! It's hard to explain but I kind of used them as a form of exposure therapy. I have struggled with some kind of phobia of doing anything that you can never change or take back, and getting tattoos helped. And I like them, I like most of mine. There's only two I'm really not crazy about, but they don't upset me that much, they have their good points too.

Fave color? Mainly red. Also orange and yellow and black. I kind of hate blue, my enjoyment of blue is highly conditional.

Fave type of music? In this phase of my life I generically prefer experimental or ambient music with no lyrics or vocals. This can span a lot of eras and genres.

Do you like puzzles? Maybe I would if I did them and I might find it therapeutic. Generally speaking I feel too stupid for them; like one thing I like about the original Resident Evil 4 is that the puzzle aspect of it is so primitive, it's almost in there just to check a box in between button-mashing violence. That's more my speed of game entertainment.

Phobias? Hm I'm afraid of lots of things, but as far as a proper phobia that's irrational: I have these fantasies of things exploding, like just shattering for no reason and being incredibly destructive. Like common household objects or whatever. And I have a lot of intrusive thoughts about people around me suddenly turning into psychotic monsters (monster can be literal or figurative) and I just can't find a rational defense reaction. But these are not true phobias in the sense of being a real, controlling force in my decision-making, I don't think they're really going to affect me. I really enjoy that thing about how trypohobia is not a real phobia because no one has to be treated for it in order to effectively navigate their life. It's just a dislike, and a pretty normal and understandable one. People on the internet have a lot of trouble telling the difference between things like phobias, moral objections, and just stuff that they don't like!

Favorite childhood sport? I was and am a total loser who can't do sports, but I guess the answer is karate. I took a year or two of that at a really great place sometime when I was 10-12, I really enjoyed the repetitive discipline of it and I was good at that kind of slow and steady, strength-based thing. I could say that I stopped because my mom was dying and that sapped my motivation, but I actually think the truth is that I was getting to the point where sparring was more a part of it, and I'm not fast or spontaneous and I don't like when people touch me, so I knew I was never going to test out of my last belt and I might not enjoy it as much as I advanced. I still think about doing another martial art, though. I think it might help me pay attention to my physical health, and get out of my head and into my body, and maybe it would also help me learn not to be so afraid of human contact. I need to pick something that's decent for people who are short and squat, though. Everyone always tells you there's no rule that says certain forms are suited to certain body types, it's all about integrity and commitment and building ability, but I really don't think that's true! (Let me know if you have opinions on this)

Talk to yourself? Yeah. Living in the city for a long time bred the habit of talking to myself like an absolute crazy person right out on the street when I'm not doing well; it's like, everyone else is acting crazy, who fucking cares! But I'll also talk to myself when I'm alone in the house just because I like words and making sounds and telling jokes. I have no problem with the stigma of talking to oneself.

Movies you adore? So many. Movies are my whole life. How do I pick, I don't know! Some recent ones I had to write about are UZUMAKI, DELICATESSEN, SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES, and DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE which might literally be my favorite movie of all time, although I have a problem with that concept.

Coffee or Tea? Mostly coffee, there's less action/decision-making involved. But I like tea also. Some of my favorites are licorice, anything with cinnamon, and also savory toasted grain teas.

1st thing you wanted to be when grew up? I wanted to be a screenwriter. I liked movies and my dad is a writer, and it just seemed obvious. But I never learned anything about the discipline of it or the professional trajectory. And I was really poisoned by the whole "you can be anything you want!" idea, I feel terrible for saying that when so many people get zero support or faith from adults in childhood, but it's true. I heard and believed that blanket statement, but I didn't have the clarity or mental toughness to specialize and understand the meaning and implications of having a goal. It was just like, oh I could be a writer, or I could be an artist, or I could be in the movies, or blah blah blah I guess one of these things will just land on my head some day. I had no fucking clue, I still don't. It's hopeless! But you wanna know what's really weird, when I was little I also had this strange fixation on being in the army--but I had zero fantasies about combat or anything exciting, it was entirely this idea about being really good at boot camp, being able to endure any form of punishment. And I had a similar concept about JAIL, I remember reading this children's photo book that explained all about prison, and I think it was just this whole fantasy about having intensely disciplined obedience and being able to endure anything! I still think I'm going to jail some day but it's just because I feel so guilty about everything. Obviously the main conclusion to be drawn from this is that I am a natural born pervert.

WHY NEBRASKA FURNITURE MART?? PLEASE TELL ME THATS A JOKE

NO. it is NOT a joke and we need to talk about this right now i am so serious (/silly). this all started because mod luxray was in a nebraska furniture mart and came across THIS monstrosity:

[ ID: A photo taken inside of a Nebraska Furniture Mart of one of the gaming computer displays. On the screen, someone has opened up the sysboxes blog and is reading the pinned post using Tumlook. On another tab, they seemed to have searched up 'sysboxes'. The image has been rotated for reading purposes. /.End ID. ] THEN (you, anon, presumably) sent an ask about doing this in a nebraska furniture mart, specifically at the iowa location. why do i mention the state specifically? BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY FIVE NEBRASKA FURNITURE MARTS IN EXISTENCE.

[ ID: Screenshot of Wikipedia page; "As of 2020, Nebraska Furniture Mart has five store locations: two in Omaha (including a factory outlet store called "Mrs. B's Clearance Center & Factory Outlet); as well as locations in Iowa, Kansas, and Texas." The phrase "five store locations" has been highlighted. /.End ID. ] not only did some rogue follower of ours hit the dallas location, one of you FREAKS (/affectionate) also infiltrated the iowa branch, too! how often are you, our sysboxes followers, individually at some big department store — not a grocery store, not for food or necessities, might i add — for long enough to not just get bored and use the display devices, BUT TO LOOK AT SYSBOXES, OF ALL THINGS? we post three times a day, EVERY day, at the same time. you're not missing much!!! have you no shame?? you can't just wait to get home, or, hell, USE YOUR PHONE? the thing a majority of people have in their pockets or bags at all times? i know the tumblr app sucks, but you can't even stomach the browser version? you HAVE to check right then and there in the nebraska furniture mart? YOU CAN'T EVEN LIKE OR REBLOG THE POSTS!!! WHY!?

Advantages Of Purchasing a Good-Quality Mattress from A Reputable Furniture Store

Your complete health and well-being depend on getting a good night's sleep, which is made possible with the correct mattress. You're making an investment in your sleep quality and general quality of life when you decide to spend money on a high-grade mattress from a reputed furniture retailer. We'll explore the many advantages of getting a high-quality mattress from a reputable furniture retailer in this blog.

The primary benefit of a high-quality mattress is the substantial improvement in sleep. The ideal mattress from “factory furniture outdoors” provides the best alignment, support, and comfort, promoting pleasant sleep.

While you sleep, a high-quality mattress ensures optimal spinal alignment. This lessens back pain and lowers the possibility of musculoskeletal problems in the future.

The hallmark of a high-quality mattress is comfort. You'll have a snug and comfy sleeping surface every night if the support and cushioning are balanced properly.

When compared to less expensive options, a good-quality mattress often has a longer lifespan. This implies that you won't need a replacement for a long time after beginning to reap its benefits.

Numerous high-quality mattresses are built to withstand allergens like dust mites and mildew. For those who suffer from allergies or respiratory disorders, this is especially advantageous.

A high-quality mattress from mattress sales in MA is made to resist regular use and keep its contour over time. Your purchase will be pleasant and supportive for years because of this durability.

A high-quality mattress is designed to offer sufficient support in a range of sleeping positions. This makes sure that whether you sleep on your back, side, or stomach, you are well supported.

Rosita Missoni

Co-founder of the eponymous Italian fashion label celebrated for its colourful textiles and zigzag knitwear

Rosita Missoni, who has died aged 93, came out of the historic heartland of Italian textiles in northern Lombardy, and though she travelled worldwide for decades and the Missoni fashion and decor brand became famous globally, she remained devoted to her native terroir. All the artistic, artisanal, and ever-inventive technological skills that sustained the company’s success over 70 years were as much part of the locality as its mountains and lakes.

The other company founder, her husband, Ottavio (Tai) Missoni, was originally from the shores of the Adriatic, but was working in knits, and on marriage migrated to her territory. Theirs was a union of complementary talents – Tai was an artist of great colour gifts who choreographed how yarns should be fed into which machine to knit what pattern, while she shaped the firm’s overall fashion direction and uses of the output.

Rosita’s grandmother and mother had been commanding powers in their family factory, Torrani and Jelmini, established in 1921 in the town of Golasecca, specialising in embroidered fine lingerie, and machine-knit accessories, especially shawls.

Rosita experimented with scraps from babyhood, always aware of the interplay of colour, cloth, technology and fashion. In 1953, the newly married Missonis set up their own small machine-knitwear workshop, Maglificio Jolly, in nearby Gallarate. This was part of a postwar Italian movement that put together centuries-old knowledge of materials with sophisticated machinery developments (originally funded by American Marshall Plan money to revive European industry) and a new preference for informal, ready-to-wear clothes.

At first their few machines could manage only three-colour-stripe garments for other labels. By 1955, a Milan boutique stocked Maglificio Jolly; in 1958, Milan’s grand department store La Rinascente bought a collection of stripes of many colours, labelled “Missoni”. Tai and Rosita’s pattern repertoire expanded with each new machine from horizontal stripes to vertical, tartans to jacquard repeats.

The signature chevrons arrived in 1962 when they discovered an update of the more-than-century-old Raschel machines: Rosita remembered how her grandparents had used similar to knit silky shawls echoing antique flamestitch embroidery, the kind of shawls, she said, “you would throw over a lampshade”. Bolder Missoni versions were suited to the craze for geometrical pattern early in the 1960s, and Missoni was enthusiastically promoted by Anna Piaggi of Italian Vogue and Diana Vreeland in US.

By 1967, the Missonis had outlets in New York and Paris, and their own boutique in Milan; they presented collections in clever shows in interesting spaces – a theatre, a swimming pool – around the city. They helped shove the focus of Italian fashion from crusty Florence and snooty Rome to artisan Milan, where it remains.

The next decade brought the Missoni’s best years. First came an art deco revival – thanks to Rosita’s memories, the Missoni deco designs were affectionate but not pastiche. Then fashion hankered for handmade craftwork, mostly knitted goods, and welcomed Missoni machine-knits because of their related aesthetic heritage.

And then, as more people flew internationally and observed the ways other cultures dressed, designers such as Kenzo Takada and Bill Gibb experimented with outfits assembled from knitted, printed, embroidered and woven textiles, with geometric and floral patterns, all worn at once.

The Missonis could supply everything. Rosita regularly went on collecting trips to places where clothes, ceramics and furniture were still happily handmade, or rose early in cities across Europe to truffle for flea market finds. She wanted Missoni design to be part of a worldscape of decoration, and she hated waste – the appeal of knitting was that it wasted less yarn than cut and sewn cloth. She reclaimed workshop scraps for patchwork and rugs for their home. In 1978, the Missonis showed their collection at their quarter-century retrospective in the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Their work was at home there.

Born in Golasecca, Rosita was the daughter of Diamante and Angelo Jelmini, who both worked for the family firm; she had two brothers, Alberto and Giampiero. Besides her factory-floor education, she had been sent away to school on the Ligurian coast, for her health, and then to London in 1948 to learn English, supervised by Swiss nuns.

The sisters took their students to Wembley Stadium to witness track events in the summer Olympics, and there Rosita spotted handsome Tai, a decade older, competing in the Italian hurdles and relay team. They eventually arranged a proper meeting by the Eros statue in Piccadilly. Back home in Italy, Tai, who was designing knitted tracksuits – he later made the Italian uniforms for the 1952 Olympics – courted her. Their families approved, and the pair married in 1953.

Rosita and Tai decided in their first, late 60s, flush of success that they were artisan producers and wanted to stay as such, with a full life right beside their joint work. They commissioned from the architect Enrico Buzzi a factory and nearby home with a view of the Alps in Sumirago, under 10km from Golasecca, among gardens that grew produce and plumped hens to be cooked for their children, Luca, Vittorio and Angela.

All three grew up to work in the firm. Luca became menswear designer, Vittorio the marketer, and Angela, after adventures elsewhere, took over from her parents as head of design in 1996.

That freed Rosita, who felt she had nothing more to contribute to fashion (although her own magpie style stayed imaginative to the end), to be creative director of the Missoni home line, which maintained a steady customer appeal while the clothes had periods out of – the 80s – and in – the 2000s – favour in fashion.

Her decor ideas drew on her lifetime collecting, and the personal pleasure she and Tai had in the constant making of things for their Sumirago home.

Tai died in 2013, not long after Vittorio was killed in a plane crash. Rosita is survived by Luca and Angela (who passed a senior design role to her daughter, Margherita), and by eight more grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, and by Alberto.
