Quacked out??

wakefield64 — Fri, 20 Dec 2019 20:51:01 GMT

I am not a huge Quacker Favtory fan but they are conspicuous by their absence, especially at holidays. I do like Angel and enjoy her presentations. I know they are relegated to QVC 2 and guess that is where they will stay. Just an observation from a long time customer. Not all changes are good or bad, just different.

I feel like all apparel vendors get sidelined during these last few holiday shopping weeks, example, Isaac, Logo, etc. Hopefully, in the new year, we'll see them once again!

@MandyG06

I agree. Not sure how they justify still promoting hours of shoes but cut back on the clothing?! I don't believe I've ever bought anyone shoes for a gift ....

I think there are probably lots of changes in store for Q..I doubt they will all be popular...

All I can say is that I wear Quacker Factory sweatshirts 7 months out of the year and have quite a collection. I really love the sweatshirts, both regular, hooded and French Terry but I need a new selection!! AND they don't have to be Holiday inspired!! They can be pretty designs and more of the same, I'll be right there in line to buy them! There are many of us who love the cutsy designs and bling and find them comfortable enough for every day!!

I'm finished with Quacker and have a feeling others feel the same wsy. The last couple of shirts I ordered were so overdone with embroidery AND hideous rhinestones, I couldn't get them back on the road to West Chester fast enoigh. I've also been long disgusted by their stubborn refusal to carry petites.

I no longer even watch the programs, although I've always enjoyed Angel. The clothing just looks old fashioned and passe. I'm sick of hearing about Jeanne Bice.

I must be watching a different QVC. Quacker Factory is on a lot, both on the main channel and QVC2. Angel did say the other night that she wouldn't be back until after the holidays, but that's no big surprise at this time of year.

I personally love QF and it's one of the main reasons I still shop with QVC. I get a lot of compliments on the tops I wear (including from men) and I certainly don't look like a "little old lady"! They do some of the most beautiful embroidery you'll find anywhere.

I don't wear a lot of the "high bling/sequin" things, but their embroidered pieces? You bet I do. Since there's nothing I absolutely need, I generally wait until things go on clearance, but I have bought a couple of things recently at the new price.

Thank goodness there's something for everyone out there.

(ETA: I couldn't care less about what's "in fashion". I wear what I like and what I feel comfortable in. I don't dress for anyone but myself.)

@Venezia. The embroidery I've seen is fine. It's just that they then add a few hundred garish rhinestones. It's too.much and looks riduculous. They never heard of "less is more". I've even tried to remove them which can't be done.

I used to buy from their holidays collections. and they are my bling days. They last a long time as I only wear each one once a year. Have a great ones for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Bought a red cartigan last year with nutcrackers all blinged out and my granddaaugher was so excited when I wore it to her Nutcracker performance! Other than that I don't wear other blinged out tee shirts but if I am interested check out the amount of bling. Something for everyone. If you're ablig gal, enjoy

Clearly, the popularity of that line has decreased. When I see Angel on Q2, I see things that I wouldn't want because of the embellishments, but then I see things I really like. Just don't need more clothes.

Venezia — Sat, 21 Dec 2019 02:30:45 GMT

@Kachina624- I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder. I don't consider any of the items I have as covered in "a few hundred garish rhinestones" and I don't feel I look ridiculous. No one I know thinks I do either.

As I've said, luckily we live in a country where we're spoiled for choice. I know there are things I see that I would never wear, but I don't judge others for what they choose. (As long as I don't have to wear it, I'm good!)

Enjoy whatever it is you like!

ITA, and love the zipper rhinestones which IMHO look tastefully done, and do not see that in other lines at all. Off topic: love to watch Angel.

QF was on every Sunday evening and also during the day time a lot in Oct & Nov. Nothing missing here, everything at the Q has changed for Christmas and their attempt to bring sales back up.

Re: Quacked out??

LindaSal — Sat, 21 Dec 2019 15:45:57 GMT

I have quite a few of the tops, not a big fan of the dream jeannes though. JMO, they are not flattering on me at all. But I agree, the embroidery is done very well and I like the holiday motifs, it brings smiles to everyone. I have Christmas, fall and even summer ones that I like to wear on vacation. It's just fun. To each his own.

I love Quacker Factory and I don't need to see shows/presentations to continue purchasing the line. I bought a few of this year's latest holiday tops and I adore them.

My latest purchase from the line is A352895...bleached denim-medium. I love the embroidery and added rhinestone sparkles. Looking forward to wearing these this coming Spring/Summer and grateful I was able to get a pair in my size before they sold out! I think I got the last pair in the bleached denim-medium too...whew! LOL

To the OP, I do not think it is a "QF issue" as much as it is a "way we shop" issue. The internet has such incredible oppurtunities for people to purchase unique designs that used to be relegated to bigger city boutiques or the Q and HSN. By cancelling Live overnights, and starting live programming later in the morning, speaks volumes to the changes technology has effected the Tv shopping experience. I think Q will keep some staples like, AM style with Leah, PM style with anyone, ITKWD, and a very select few other shows that actually move product but other than that I think they will be cutting back more and more and rotating hosts and "exclusive lines" around until their perceived usefulness by corporate has run it's course. Younger generations are not buying cable, they stream everything. I am a 40something leading some 20somethings in my profession, and that is all they talk about. Cable is out.

@Susan Louise- I've had my eye on those, too, but they're sold out in my size. I didn't realize they'd gone on clearance. I've added them to my wish list and will see if any show up again. Enjoy yours!

@Venezia Thank you and I hope they become available in your size again. I know that I have had several items I have longed for over the years that were sold out in my size. By checking my wishlist once or twice a day it has paid off many times...patience does pay off.

I usually check it once in the morning and once in the evening. It's also a great habit to get into to check for sale prices.

Everything I order from QVC goes on my wishlist (even if it was never on there before I ordered it) so I can check back for prices over the next 30 days. This way I can get the price adjustments before the 30 days are up. I have saved hundreds of $ doing just that alone. Then, after the 30 days are up most times I remove it from my list unless I plan on ordering another of 'whatever' in the future. So this helps making sure I get the best price for items more often.

Venezia — Sun, 22 Dec 2019 15:55:25 GMT

@Susan Louise- A352895 is currently a Prime Time price of $27.74. Not sure what you paid, but you may want to ask for a refund of the price difference, if you're within the 30 day limit. I only know because I have them in my wish list.
