Does anyone know what happened to this brand on HSN?

I wish I knew! I liked it because I could rely on getting crop pants there every year that fit me well as full length pants. They seem to have just disappeared.

@Roni18 It seems there was a legal dispute between HSN and the brand and it will not be coming back.

The daughter-in-law of the founder (I think), Jackie Schechter, was on HSN for years so maybe she has retired along with the brand.

I bought several pieces of the clothing throughout the years and still have a dress or two in my closet that I wore many times and got many compliments from others.

Don't know why--do we ever??--but I sure miss that brand. Was hoping she'd show up elsewhere, maybe ShopHQ.

I have a few pieces of Slinky as well. Awhile back it seemed HSN purged alot of their designers, one of which was Carolyn Strauss, similar to Slinky but slightly different. I adored her clothes and have a ton of it still. My absolute favorite thing to this day were her Nylon/Spandex bootcut pants in black, they were a dream to wear and never faded or pilled or anything. They took a good 10 pounds off me at 5'1" in the petite medium. I used to look forward to the collections.

@sunsetbeach

Carolyn Strauss was regular guest on HSN for a long time and really seemed to sell a lot of product.

Same with Slinky.

Every now and then I remember one or another vendor who just disappeared and wonder what happened.

Guess we will never know!

So I just found this when you do a search on Google for Slinky -

Is HSN discontinuing slinky brand?

Slinky Brand is on Clearance because they're Leaving HSN and won't be back. She said for legal reasons she couldn't say anything more. So, Yes Slinky Brand is leaving HSN. ... So, Yes Slinky Brand is leaving HSN. Feb 13, 2020

"Slinky" still has a facebook page and has a few new pics of stuff so who knows, maybe they will show up on ShopHQ?

@Shelbelle Loved this brand. I was just looking at a top from this line this week. It has to be 20+ years old and is one of my favorites. Get lots of compliments every time I wear it!

Daniel Kiviat was the vendor!

Thanks for reminding me of his name, I had forgotten, it was well made and fit well. I also loved it when HSN sold Adolfo, had a ton of their clothes too. And an in house brand from HSN called Cervelle

Hi - that is the question I wish someone would answer- I loved the Slinky brand- and I wish it would come back. It is a shame that powers to be don't recognize a lot of people liked the brand. Who knows what goes on between companies and the shopping networks- but they should have an idea of what sells and what people like. Any more it is the some things over and over-

I love the brand Slinky, I have at least 15 dresses from that line in my closet. I would love to see them show up here on qvc or shophq, or evine whatever it's called.
