Quacker Factory

Rainflower22 — Tue, 08 Aug 2023 17:18:30 GMT

I am really disappointed in the fashions. They don't have all the sparkle and jaz that Jean put in her clothes. They are starting to look like all the other clothes.

I have requested in the past if they would bring back the veveteen snowman jacket from long ago, never heard back from anyone. I love that jacket and everyone comments on it when I wear it. I have had it so long it is wearing out. I haven't ordered anything lately, I stocked up a couple of years ago and haven't needed anything. I would like to have some new, but I don't like what they have. I have a lot of jeans with the ringtones down the side of the legs. I didn't see any on their site.

Regardless, it was good to see Angel with PJD this morning. They looked like sisters.

😞 I miss the fun holiday sweaters from Jean's early days at QVC. Loved Jean from the moment I saw her, and miss her very much. I still have my originals, some 15+ years old, and they still look new. Those were the days when QVC actually was Quality, Value, and Convenience.

Well, I bought the lovely Autumn green tree top for myself, and I had to waitlist the black pumpkin top for my SIL, because it sold out so fast!

I think QF continues the tradition of color and sparkle that made it famous, without going overboard, as not everybody wants to be over-the-top.

I am sure they are always coming up with new designs and colors, but maybe you can contact Angel on Facebook about what you really want to be repeated.

I always find something I like--I just do not need to buy as much as I did in the past since I have a great collection.

There are a lot of QF at Goodwill.

@Rainflower22. Many people have complained that QF has too much bling that makes it look dated since sparkle seems to be "out". I personally quit buying it or even watch the shows for that reason.

I guess they're trying to please the majority.

I also miss Quacker Factory from yesteryear and miss Jeanne, too. I do like Angel alot. If you go on etsy dot com, and type in Quacker Factory to search, many of the classic designs are for sale. They may or may not have the exact jacket you are looking to find but it is fun to walk down memory lane!

I agree, loved when Jean was on and the letters QVC actually stood for something! The sparkle seems to be fading from this line and the designs are fading as well ! I have a vest in denim and the collar had rhinestones as did the front. And I was disappointed at the presentation and I like Angel and Pat together BUT please talk about the product like what size everyone is wearing, I know Angel hasn't been in the studio for a long time BUT please socialize on your own time !!!

I think too that they are trying to tone it down so maybe more will buy.

But that can get to look like everything else and that shouldn't mean they have to be blah.

They can go too far in the direction of less bling but the way QF did it in the past was so unique. I didn't like all those either but I always say-

You can never have too much sparkle! (and don't care what the trend is on that either).

I have a white pair of capri? type jeans with clear jewels on the slits at the bottom-they still look like new and are made so well. Got them when Jean was still here.

l have a lot of QF from way back when they had embroidered designs on everything . Such beautiful shirts and other items . And beautiful embroidery of flowers, bees ,butterflies dragonflies. The clothing was well made and really nice material .

What I remember about the original QF are the button covers that were on some of her items. So unique and reasonably priced. Those were the days!

What I don't like about these clothes now are all the tee shirts. They may all have different embellishments, but they are still all tee shirts!

There are very few button down shirts anymore. I know they are more expensive to make, but I am so tired of tee shirts, not only from QF, but from all the lines of clothing!

@Patriot3, I've wondered the same thing. Could it be that some of those older items required ironing? People I know don't want to iron anymore, don't even have an iron or ironing board. Just a thought.

The fall items are by far my favorites. I'd love to see embellished sweatshirts with a scarecrow or some colorful leaves.

Ive always thought Pat and Angel looked so much alike. Both pretty women.

@kaydee50. I have a drawer full of button covers. I never used them because I knew they'd fall off. Maybe someday I'll figure out how to make earrings or something out of them.

Yes, they do look like sisters.

I loved the old button covers.

I bought more QF when they did embroidery. Had a few button-cover items. The "sparkle and shine" with with excessive sequins, etc. does not appeal to me. A little beading, yes.

I still have a long-sleeved knit black shirt with 3 beaded pumpkins across the top that I love. The quality is great.

I liked the long-sleeved shirts. I don't think most required ironing as they were a blend. I still have several, one that I will soon dig out for Halloween.
