Kim Gravel Take Over

DessieDo — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 20:25:28 GMT

This might not be a popular host, given the amount of orders that Kim Gravel takes in for the Q, but has anyone else had enough of her? Is she taking over the Q? Miss some of the old real designers like Isaac. Kim's jingle bell line, while popular it seems, is a miss. I tried one item and that was the end. Quality, sizing, tact, clearly lacking for me. There is whimsical and then there's classy whimsical. Ok, if it helps you smile, all is good. But the pricing does not match the product provided. I am very curious what people think about Kim Gravel, her path at QVC and her continued 'takeover' of QVC. Thank you.

Never watch her and her "sidekick"??? Not impressed with what I see of her products and IMO, way overpriced.

I'm a big fan and always enjoy her shows. I am a minimalist when it comes to beauty/make-up so I don't purchase those items of hers. I also haven't ordered any of her decor...yet. However, I have several of her fashion pieces I LOVE!

My absolute fave garments from her line are a crushed velvet dress & top and another tie velvet top. I have all 4 colors of the dress and the wine/burgundy/italian plum & black of both of the tops...

I am not a fan of her line at all, I used to use her cosmetics, I was an ardent fan but her clothing? NOPE. I think it is cheaply made and looks it, all but one piece of what I ordered has been returned.

I have basically quit watching the Q - do a quick check of what is new for the day on my laptop and if something catches my eye I check it out further...and wait for a free ship day. I have noticed that she has her finger in many pies at this point, but most does not appeal to me or is way too pricey.

For those that don't like her...don't buy her stuff. I like her. Especially her pants. If she's all over the place, it's for a good reason. She sells.

All of her tops are too long for most petites. Togas don't usually "do it"for us. Otherwise, her styles often appeal to me, but i do not buy anything in her line due to the length issue.

I suspect QVC is thrilled with Gravel's "take over."

They must wish that every new vendor soars to the top in sales. I've got a gazillion of her jeans and they are the best fitting, best made, most comfortable I've ever had. I'm a very happy customer.

But the real question is why do want a highly successful woman to disappear? She is obviously very good at what she does, and isn't she just the kind of female entrepreneur our country needs to build jobs? Have you ever thought about how much Kim Gravel's whole line of goods contributes to our economy? We should be jumping up and down for joy.

@DessieDo It doesn't matter to QVC what you and a handful of other posters think about Kim Gravel. The bottom line is that she is making a lot of money for the Q. Viewers tune in to see her and her antics and her products. As long as her products are selling she will stay. She didn't take over the Q nor did she run off Isaac.

I agree! ....and it's not just the overall length issue but her long sleeves are always much too long! I have given up on her items.

CanNOT abide her, her schtick or her mediocre product lines. But I must admit, at first I enjoyed her.

I just can't understand why so many don't search out items made here in US. I find tons. I look at some of the prices, and I buy American made, (designed, fabric made here) clothing for same price as some the clothing here on Q. Kim seems like a beautiful woman, obviously she has done well. You can't get that popular, without a good base that is buying,.. so she is doing well! For being a woman in this business, I applaud her. It ain't easy! But, I have a difficult time sometimes seeing made in China junk sold for prices , (or nearly) in lieu of Americans who work here, spend their money here, live here. It's good to know my purchase pays my neighbors wages in a way. I do buy from overseas, how can we help it. But rarely. Anyway, enough I am off my soapbox and on to a Rocky Road bar I spied in Halloween candy!

Kim is a big frog in a small pond. The Q is providing fewer choices but because Kim sells, she will occupy more time. At some point, her elevated prices will deter more people, her acting will further grate on nerves and with economic projections as they are, all of us will be buying less. Kim is a multimillionaire and I am sure she has invested wisely.

Forbes has an article on Kim's success at QVC, her brand is the first in QVC history to sell over $250 million in one year. Her company sales exceed 1 billion. I'm happy for her success.

I am happy for any successful woman, but I won't purchase just because she has her finger in everything going. Also yes, I turn her off when I have had enough. A little kim goes a long way. Her clothing line presently seems over priced to me, and the quality is not always there. (I will purchase every now and then, but never from her cosmetic line. The packaging is cheap and the product mediocre.)

I shop elsewhere now. Overall Q fashion is no longer a go to for me.

All that being said I'am glad she is on QVC, as Isaac has left and there is a gap now. I wish there were more successful lines on the Q and not just Kim and Susan Graver over and over again. They are the reasons I have moved on to other shopping sites.

I think if you don't care for a vendor or her product, you need to turn off the TV and forget she exists. Obviously not every product is for everyone but Kim is helping keep QVC alive.

They are not going to end the contract of a highly successful vendor because YOU don't like her. Get over it.

@songbird

Agree with you, love her pants and almost always happy with them. No fuss no muss pants / jeans shopping.

Her pants are amazing! Yes I find her tops are too long for short women and there are plenty of them. Women shrink when they age. That's the only weakness I see in her products. But that could be a policy for QVC. Many of the other designers offer only 26 1/2" length for tops. Sometimes I get lucky and see one for 24" length though. I do buy Kim's pants though.
