Kudos to Antonella

gmkb — Sun, 02 Aug 2015 00:55:28 GMT

Watching Antonella host Dooney & Bourke. She announced early on that she would not toss any sold out handbags. And unless I missed something, she has carried each sold out bag off the set. She has done a nice job of hosting tonight. Obviously the hosts have been reprimanded about the tossing of merchandise. Thank you Antonella for showing respect for your products.

I agree. She is sweet. I never liked seeing anyone throwing a bag off camera. It made the item seem cheap!

I SAW THAT~! I heard her loud and clear say she was not going to throw the bags off stage! Antonella, you are a CLASS ACT! By showing respect to these expensive bags you are cultivating respect!

Wonderful!

Yes, the look of shock on her face when she was asked to toss it (one of the off camera guys held out his hands for a catch) was priceless. I don't watch many Dooney shows but find myself watching tonight as she is delightful. She ALWAYS starts off with the measurements of each bag and has tried to show each color of the OTO before it sells out. Terrific presentation by Antonella and her rapport with Sue is fabulous. They seem to really be enjoying each other and instead of turning the channel, I'm finding myself charmed by the show. Not a buyer tonight but enjoying myself nonetheless. Well done Antonella!

I agree with everyone! I was also annoyed when the bags got tossed like frisbees...

I agree. Antonella does such a good job hosting. I think that tossing the bags off came off as disrespectful of the merchandise and vendors. My husband even mentioned how he thought Antonella did such a wonderful job in Italy. She does the job and gives the info and is respectful and pleasant, and courteous to everyone. I hope that she gets to host the Italy show every year.

I just love how enthusiastic Antonella is about the bags... you know she loves them (like her jewelry) and it shows. She says she can't help it and I believe her cause I'm another one that can't help it....

Another reason why Antonella is a great host! Still thinking of the great job she did hosting the shows from Padua, Italy this past June. Her rapport with the Italian vendors as well as with the Italian QVC host made it very enjoyable. And the scenery - bellissima!

She is really lovely! She respects the merchandise, the people with whom she is presenting, and her audience. I appreciate that she never rushes any callers off the phone. She seems like a great person to know.

I sent an email to the Q telling them what an exceptional job she was doing on this show.

Also ask them to consider using her more often.

She is touching them so carefully-like jewelry. Did not see the opening when she said she would not be tossing them. But I immediately noticed that she was not doing it. Great job, Antonella.

Yes, who was the host again that tossed those bags? Oh yeah-- the host who always said 'amazing' 3X with every item she sold.

In fact, when people complained about it on various fashion threads, she continued to do so!!

I'm glad Antonella decided not to continue that 'tradition'.

Antonella listened to her audience and complied. She handles the handbags as she does her jewelry with care. She is beautiful inside and out.

As I just said in another post, I will buy my first D@B handbag because of this presentation. Antonella and the vendor did an excellent job..and for 3 hours!!!! No silliness, words weren't repeated ad nauseum, beautiful descriptions. These two ladies showed how presentations can be fun and classy. I hope QVC took notice of the great job Antonella did. She should be on more .

I loved last night show with Antonella. It was a pleasure. She was the best I have ever seen doing this show. Described everything to perfection. QVC needs to train their hosts on Antonella's great way of showing and describing the product. She looked so pretty and no slang words just perfection. When she was in Italy a breath of fresh air she was lovely.

I could care less if the bags are thrown on the floor and QVC would allow it if the bags were selling. I could not watch this show.

I must have missed something, I thought Antonella looked lost and bored on the D&B show, good thing the vendor Susan was there, JMHO!

You can tell she loves her job and is respectful to everyone.

I enjoy Antonella. She comes across as a genuinely nice person. Yes, she was wonderful in Padua. I watched the last half of the Dooney show last niight Antonella and Sue were so comfortable with one another; they were a pleasure to watch. In fact, I watched the first part of the show as a rerun on QVC Plus. As someone who also loves jewelry and handbags, I appreciate Antonella' s enthusiasm.

I watched the Dooney Show from start to finish and Antonella was certainly not lost whatsoever. I respect other opinions regarding this, and understand that not everyone is enamored of her, but she nailed every handbag with all the specifications and colors immediately..... and then reiterated the specifications all while chatting amiably with the representative. It was a one of the best Dooney shows I've seen, and I try to catch all of them.....

Antonella is a great host because she respects every customer, vendor and the products she sells. In other words, the show isn't about her!
