Susan Graver- getting pretty pricy!

tiara1 — Thu, 22 Jan 2015 16:44:30 GMT

Does anyone else think Susan Graver is getting expensive? By the time you add shipping and tax lots of items are over the 50.00 mark- for just plain cotton blouses or tops I haven't bought anything from her in many years but I do think she has some cute things

yes, I notice that so many designer lines have raised the prices so much... I will just go to Nordstroms or Macys and buy something as nice or better with a coupon and get a much better deal. Susan Graver is low quality fashion and her prices are getting ridiculous.

In a lot of cases a top is close to $60 with shipping and tax. I've been buying SG for years but haven't bought anything for about 9 months.

I agree. But I like her clothes, although I have sent some of her things back for a variety of reasons. I have a lot of Denim & Co, but Susan Graver would be next in line as far as what I have bought. Her items are usually well made, fit well, are a quality garment. I have bought clothes at Kohl's & other stores that have shrunk, faded, and fell apart. I would rather pay more for a quality item than less for clothes that end up looking bad turn out to be a disappointment. However, due to her higher prices, I don't buy as much as I would like to.

Keep an eye on "as is" and lunchtime specials. I've gotten some great pieces at what I consider to be great prices. I've also paid full price, but I consider the wearability to be worth it.

I have been buying her clothing for years but now I feel the items are WAY overpriced. I can do WAY better. Sorry Susan....you lost me.

I agree. I do love a lot of her things, but always find myself saying I can get similar ones cheaper on sale at Macys or Kohls. I'm getting more frugal as I age...lol. Drives hubby crazy. I'll tell him I really liked something but didn't get it because it wasn't on sale, and he always says "what's that got to do with it?"

I find Susan's prices excellent compared to say, Micheal Kors from Nordstrom which is similar at first glance, but has not worn nearly as well in my experience.

Also at Nordstrom - my favorite cotton blouse is now 79 to 92 plus local tax and I pay to drive there besides.

So, no, I don't think Graver is overpriced - although I'd love if it were priced like the cheapy versions I've seen elsewhere. There are cheap versions - just not as good as Graver.

I'm beginning to like ""as is"" very much I haven't bought SG but I have made 3 ""as is"" purchases from other lines with zero problems but at a significant savings.

Her woven blouses are very well made. They feel like silk. I think they look like they cost more than $48. I wear them so often, they are well worth the price. A blouse is versatile. It can be worn dressy, but it can look sporty too.

Her show is rockin' today. I bought the color block button down too. I can't believe I bought 4 things, and I wish I could buy more.

Keep the goodies coming Susan!

I agree!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't buy much of her line, because of that. If there were 3 or 4 easy pays, then I would.

I agree - her things are worth the money. They last forever ... never lose their color or shape. I have a lot of SG ... but haven't seen much lately that I like. I'm really fussy about necklines and sleeves and seaming lines.

Sunday night, I was flipping through and she was on. She was showing one of her cardigans and it was $48 and there was a tank on the hanger with it. I thought well that's not too bad, but then Pat said, " now just so you know we have the tank in the same colors to match back to the cardigan if you're interested." Then they put the tank info on the screen and it was $42!!!!! What???!! That would be $100 after tax and S&H. No way!! Her clothes are not that much better than Target or Walmart to warrant those kind of prices.

Can someone compare, for me, SG's Liquid Knit and Premier Knit? I know she says everyone begs for more LK, but I find it very heavy and hot to wear. Wondering about her premier knit, it looks lighter in weight, is it? I have 2 LK hanging in my closet that I can't bring myself to put them on in the last 2 years at least.

I have purchased two of Susan's Liquid Knit tops, but I bought them "As Is". Would not buy them at her regular prices though!

I think clothes in general on the Q are very pricey.

Re: Susan Graver- getting pretty pricy!

flickerbulb — Thu, 22 Jan 2015 18:08:49 GMT

I agree!

Stopped in the Talbot's outlet the other day and hit the 70% off rack. I found THREE pairs of nice pants for around $16 EACH!

My $50 on the Q will hardly get me one item from SG or D&C!

Liquid Knit may be hot, but I don't think it is heavy. If anything, I think it is too lightweight and it does show lumps and bumps in my opinion. I have not tried the Premier Knit, but I have heard Susan say that it is heavier than Liquid Knit.

Everything on QVC is pricier than other stores.

Just don't buy and the message will be heard loud and clear.
