There are nearly none of the V-neck sweater A217629.  Has it been discontinued? I thought it was a Linea staple. I can't wear turtlenecks, so the V was my favorite...looking for new colors.

I hope not.  That was my favorite WK sweater.

Here is the response Louis gave to a question on his Blog asking if the classic V-Neck would be available in the new Blackberry:

I have found out the V-neck isn’t being reordered due to slow sales??? I’ll come up with a new version.

It's probably slow sales because no new colors were added? Pure pink and oatmeal were the last colors added a year ago!

This is disappointing to say the least.  I love this sweater and find the v neck to be extremely flatttering.  What a bummer!

This V-Neck is pretty much Sold Out in all colours - so not sure why Q would say sales were slow.
But Louis did mention he would work on a new version!

I'm disappointed as well the v-neck was so flattering I was only able to grab the pure pink in my size and was looking to get more colors.

 

Slow sales???  Out of 144 the sweater has 130 5 star reviews!  I'm beginning to think the Q changes their reorder criteria whenever they feel like it there seems to be no rhyme or reason.

If it were a decision based on FIVE Star ratings - they would have to discontinue Susan Graver.

There are some available in other colors on the bay. Put Linea Louis A# in your search box and it will pull up the WK V-necks. 

 

I am sad this sweater is being discontinued. I have backups for some colors. Auburgine is one of my favorites and the navy!

I'm very disappointed, in that this is one of the few sweaters that I've found on QVC that is not too long in a plus-size length.   If the "replacement" sweater is longer, it won't work for me.  QVC adds a lot of length to tops in the larger sizes (increases to about 4 inches), and this is not flattering to me (plus-size pear-shape, planning to wear the sweater with skirts to work).  This multiple-inch length increase for plus sizes happens with all the QVC lines.  I can understand it with tunics, but not for regular sweaters / tops. 

 

I had been looking forward to buying more of these in new colors this year.  I am unlikely to buy a significantly longer version.

 

I think QVC may be discontinuing their "shorter" sweaters.   Some of my other favorite Linea sweaters and tops which ran about 27-28" in plus size have already been discontinued.   They are taking away choice and variety. 

 

I consider myself lucky to have ordered back-up black, hunter and walnut V-necks last month.   The aubergine version I bought in the past  is one of my favorite sweaters ever.
