Susan Graver at Marshalls?

Walked in over the weekend and the first thing I saw was her sweater.... A261946. Couldn't believe it. And the price was nearly half. And on another thread it was posted that A261934 is available through Chico's mail order catalog. I thought she was exclusive to QVC?

I hope this means she's leaving the Q! Sorry not a fan.

While the Chico's item looks the same, it's a sheer fabric. Everybody copies everybody else.

Next time I'm in Chico's, I hope it's in the store ... I like the shirt.

People copy-cat. No offense to cats, BTW.

I buy SG and also Chico's. Lots of similarity in tops and in pants. Looking through my closet -you have to check labels to tell one from the other. Fabrics, styles and prints are similar.

Chico's summer weight knit pants are a similar weight to SG's liquid knit. I have one pair o wide leg Chico's pants ... and the print is almost identical to one of SG's maxi skirts.

I've seen a few of her things at Stein-Mart. Her label was in the sweater.

There's nothing new under the sun. Fashion gets copied all over the place and while SG may be exclusive to QVC, you can find many look-alikes at Macy's, Marshall's, Chico's and many other places.

There are always a lot of QVC name brands at the Bell's outlets in FLA.

Not surprised, I saw a very SG like tunic there the other day.

It may be an overun that Marshalls bought. Manufacturer made more than vendors needed and Marshalls bought the extras.

This article is from 2011 but still relevant,

Maybe she's just broadening her horizons.

Thanks, I will look. I guess I have to look to see if we have a Marshalls in our area. Nothing like being in a country setting with no place to shop but Walmart and catalogs.

I used to buy a lot of her peachskin. A co-worker of mine wore a blouse made out of the exact print fabric, except it was in a different color way. She bought it at a local dept. store and the label was not SG (can't remember what it was). I guess that's how she gets around the "exclusive to QVC" claim.

TJ Maxx and Marshall's buy and sell overstocks, end-of-season fashion "leftovers", etc. I wouldn't be at all surprised if some SG overstocks made it to their racks and perhaps the racks of other off-price stores that sell overruns. These stores sell lots of handbags and other brands and items that are sold on QVC.

I had a similar thing happen to me. I bought one of Susan's quilted jackets last spring and later when I got together with a friend she had on the same jacket with the exact same print lining but under another label that she bought at a local department store. I was surprised.

Thanks ladies for posting this info. Very surprised as Susan always says she is exclusive to QVC! Will check out Marshalls and TJMAX from now on.

Susan is exclusive to QVC. If there are items at places like Marshalls or TJMaxx it's because it's overstocks. It's not like SG is designing items for TJMaxx or Marshalls.

I've seen items in both of those stores that had QVC ""inspected by"" stickers on them.

She is exclusive to QVC. The sweater just looked like one of hers. When it comes to fashion, there is nothing that hasn't been done before. I know people have been claiming that they see QVC stuff all over the place but it's only people on this board who say that. No one I actually know has ever said that.

We have a Marshall's in our area, I'm going to check it out, SG is too expensive any more on QVC.

I've seen her things at Hamrick's. a small chain in the SE. They sell mostly regular lines of clothing with names that you'd recognize ordinarily and see in many department stores, but they also at times purchase overstocks, so you never know what extras you'll find. From time to time I'll see a display of SG clothing, with all pieces selling for $10.
