Egad! I thought Logo was high priced!

G.I.L.I. is worse! I don't know why QVC is getting so pricey, but they are pushing me over to evine and HSN.

While true they are apples and oranges especially in quality.

G.I.L.I. Prices have gone through the roof over this last year.

I don't buy GILI because it is not my style. But, I want to say how much I am enjoying this presentation. Jill does such a professional job of presentting the product. She tells us about the item, sizing, features and all without silliness or too much personal information. I could be talked into a purchase with such a good sales presentation.

Then get ready for 2016. Jill Martin & Jill Bauer stated yesterday that this will be the first year with Jill Martin's actual design input into the GILI line, since they are just about done with the inventory and designs from Lisa's tenure. I bet QVC will try to bump up the already high prices with some sort of "re-introduction" of the line. I love Jill Martin's input on style make-overs for NBC Today shows, so I'm looking forward to seeing new things (but they are often too price prohibitive for me). One note -- if you like GILI and are willing to take a chance, check out Zulily. They are having big markdowns on GILI items (changes every day). The chance you take is that Zulily has no return policy; some items strictly state "No Returns," and others you have to call and explain your issue and they decide IF they will let you return it (I was successful with my return).

They must think we're MADE of money - you know the perverbial money tree growing in the back yard.

I know, I KNOW I don't have one hence the reason I don't shop here for what I used to many YEARS gone by.

Any website where you can't return clothing items without having to get special permission is off-putting for me. I could understand that policy for non-clothing items (unless the item is defective, of course), but l'm not a clairvoyant, or a gambler, lol. I don't know if a garment will fit, or if it will look flattering, until l try it on.

@handygal2 I'm with you. I absolutely will not do business with any site/company that doesn't allow returns. Even if the items are on a deep discount, it's money down the drain if it doesn't work out. Even buying a $20.00 non-returnable item enough times adds up.

That's why I'm always amazed at the number of posters who say they don't return items, they just give to Goodwill or toss.

I agree with you @handygal2 Zulily's policy of not having a policy is off-putting to say the least. I purchased an item from them, never assuming I could not return it. Instead of accepting that, I called and explained why I wanted to return it and it was accepted. No pleadng, no begging, not a tear shed. But it really tampered any thoughts of purchasing from them again. I just wanted folks who are more adventurous than I the option of a choice if they truly wanted GILI.

I too called them to return an item. They were silver earrings that were paper thin that I almost couldn't find them in the packaging. It was ridiculous how misleading the description was.

They told me to keep them and donate them or give them away. The catch was they issued a credit for a future purchase.

I eneded up being able to use it as they had a line of kids clothing that I knew the sizing and used the credit for that.

Wonder though now how they'll be now that the Q has acquired them.

I saw Logo Littles being sold and they have a boatload. I guess it will be the Q's way to sell what doesn't here.

QVC now has the best of both worlds. They don't have to taint their image with deep markdowns (God forbid they give all us loyal customers a break like HSN and Evine.) And now they don't have to take returns ! I bought a pair of basic Clarks shoes from Zulilly the other day, I don't know where that inventory came from. Just hoping they fit, but it was a basic style similar to ones I have owned before. And high price guarantees quality? Wish that were true.

I do agree. I did purchase a faux leather Gili dress during the Lunchtime Specials today. They had my size and it was worth the price of around $42. I keep checking for clearance.

HSN has gone over the reasonable price line for me too. Won't buy any clothing or shoes that aren't on an awesome clearance price. Just picked up 2 pair of summer flats, but that will probably be my only purchase this year othet than my yearly stock up on Lessman Secure when it's the TS.
