I think I read they are now on ShopHQ but Kathy is not presenting them herself. I don't watch ShopHQ very often so I don't know for sure if this is true. I used to see her bags all the time at Marshall's and TJ Maxx but I haven't seen any in a while at either store.

You can see them on ShopHQ's site.

I will tell you what happened to mine...they didn't last. Not very good quality.

Yes they are on SHOPHQ but Marshall's has a very large selection at cheaper prices. I'm not a fan of her bags, I only buy leather but I know there are many who love them.

I saw them advertised in a Boscov add so know they carry them.

The first thought that came to mind when I read the question was ""they all fell apart and peeled away"". I don't miss 'em.

The first time I saw those g'awful bags was at TJ's in 2008. Never had the desire to buy one, too blingy & gaudy.

I heard that she sold the company. Don't know if that is true or not. She sold, and maybe her husband did too. The still sell them, but she no longer represents them in person. When this subject was on the forums a while back (maybe a year ago) someone had an article that she wanted to persue other things, or have a family. Can't remember all the details.

I think selling the bags, was not something she was fond of anyway. I only remember her very first shows, and she was not comfortable on camera.

I have a bag from her very first show, a cloth bagette bag. I don't wear it now, but I wore it to death back then... and it still looks like new! My granddaughters have a couple KVZ bags, and I think they were made well, and priced decently. Always on sale in the stores, so you could get her bags for under 50 bucks, which is excellent by todays bags standards. Geesh a cheap bag at Target is 40- 50 bucks! JMHO

I bought a really nice one for GD at Christmas at Haute, for maybe 42 bucks. She loves it. and it was quite detailed inside. Nice lining, pockets.

I saw a KVZ show once on Shop HQ and not since. They may have them on line. I don't buy them. Too gawdy and blingy and plastic for me. I don't miss her lack of personality a bit. You don't see her husband that much either any more. And that's ok too.

This question and one about Susan Graver's daughter has been so over-worked! Google her if you want to know...........and her hands shook/trembled when she was on the Q. Don't think live productions is her thing.
