Anyone remember .... Cafe Paradise?

ALRATIBA — Fri, 07 Jun 2024 00:01:07 GMT

They probably goes back close to 20 years ago at QVC. I can't find any info - just a similar piece on eBay.

I had two sets. They were/are rather nice "Hawaiian" prints - shorts and camp shirt. All I have left is one of the camp shirts. I bought them to wear when visiting friends in FL.

I was looking for something to wear with some new pastel green denims ........ and found the shirt in the back of the closet- a perfect match. (I buy clothes all within a certain color range,)

No I don't recall that brand on QVC. I had camp shirt/shirt sets from Susan Graver in five patterns back in the 90's. Loved them.

Sorry. I don't remember that brand either. Glad you found the piece in your closet to wear with your new pastel green denim.

Have a Great Weekend!

That doesn't ring a bell at all and I know I've been watching for 20+ years. That doesn't say I never saw it, just that I don't remember. I love camp shirts for the summertime, guess I may be in the minority with them since I never see them.

Anyone here remember French Postcards?

Beautiful European scenes (mostly cities around the world) prints on various styles of tops.

I don't recall which home shopping company, though.

I'd love to see a return of this type of print.

p.s. Just web or google search 'French Postcards clothing'.

Several on EBay, Poshmark, etc.

Nothing newly manufactured yet.

A hint to the Q. ?

@ROMARY I had forgotten all about that line! If I'm not mistaken I believe it was the Q that carried these ?? I think I still have one of those tops somewhere, mine has a French or Italian cafe scene on it. It was a cool shirt, don't know if it would even fit now. (LOL) Wow, I have to look for that. I always tend to purge my closet but not my drawers so it has to be in my dresser somewhere!

I’ve been watching Q since 1995. I have never heard of the brand. I’m surprised the shirt from 20 yrs is still in style and doesn’t look worn out.

@KKlim

It's a camp shirt ... style never changes. The print is your typical colorfulHawaiiann floral scene. They "trend" but never go out of style. (My brother was a big fan of Hawaiian shirts - had closets full of them.)

My clothes never wear out. I have a lot of them and take good care of them.

I wore the shirts once or twice when I was in FL .... and only once here at home .... that last time was just before I retired in 2010 when I went to have my hair done. I recall that vividly ... the guy who did my hair loved the shirt.

@ALRATIBA..Sounds like a nice shirt- enjoy wearing w/ the pant.

Now that I'm thinking about French Postcards print tops and their various print designs:

I believe, in addition to European cities, there also were a few US cities. New York, etc.

Alohakz: I don't recall where they where / which shopping channel French Postcards were sold.

I believe someone here a few posts ago mentioned .........QVC.
