What QVC vendors / brands do you no longer purchase?

StateofMichigan — Tue, 31 Jan 2023 23:52:53 GMT

I'll start

Clarks shoes, I feel this brand went down hill and the quality and sizing is way off. Sad since this used to be my go too shoe

Belle by Kim Gravel, Whew! I used to buy everything Belle, not anymore. Cheap, overpriced clothing. Stop with the "Boutique" comparisons her line went way down

Oh yes, some of your posts rem8nded me that...

Peace World Love highly over priced no shape clothing

LOGO= 🤡

Susan Graver, everything is polyester but she's unwatchable.

Candice Cameron and her over priced teenage clothing belong at Forever 21

Ryka made much cheaper now, anything cudd- duds, cheap material, belle, cheap material, peace love world made cheap, studio park, haven't seen anything worth buying, candance, all tops look too short. Logo maybe a jean jacket, but do not like tops with ruffles or her prints. Also no muk luks, cheap material.

Isaac Mizrahi. I bought a purse from his line and before I was able to finish the easy pays the strap broke. It was thick leather so I could not sew it back on. It was the first and last time I bought a purse from his line.

Denim & Co. , the styles and fabric just don't appeal to me anymore.

Susan Graver- IMHO everything looks the same, and matronly

Kirk's Folly (sorry, sometimes I can't believe that I actually used to stay up back when the TSV was a surprise and the hosts only hinted at them, and wait to see if the TSV that day was Kirk's Folly)

Mrs. Prindable's -- there's barely any caramel on the apples; certainly the aples have changed since they started selling them

Luminara Flameless Candles. They work for a season. The next time I used them at least 1 wouldn't light. Happened to me twice so I am done.

The vendors I purchased most have been Denim & Co, Louis Dell'Olio, and Valerie.

LDO is gone, and only purchased one thing from Valerie this year. I might purchase more from Denim & Co in the future. Depends.

A few others I tried, but have no intentions of buying more unless I see something special, unique, and it looks to be good quality...Isaac, Dennis Basso, and Susan Graver.

I'm always checking out new online vendors that QVC doesn't show on air. Recently purchased a navy 100% cotton corduroy midi-trench coat from Lola Jeans. Very unique and very good quality. It's sold out, no photo, but I don't think QVC had access to many because early on it said low inventory.

The quality of Belle has gone down and the price has gone way up. I will not buy again unless there is something special that I can't live without. I started reading reviews and noticed that a lot of her items have bad reviews.

I used to buy Valerie Parr Hill. Everything breaks. I just received a ginger jar that was totally broken and I couldn't use it. I was so disappointed. I think the quality control on her items is poor. Go to her QVC website and look at the cost of her items. I can find much better stuff at Home Goods or Hobby Lobby. I'm done paying her prices.

I've bought several pairs of Ryka tennis shoes and they do not fit well. I was not impressed.

Pretty much everything they sell in the Beauty/Makeup dept. here. I used to use a lot of products that QVC sold.

But, now I pay more attention to ingredients, animal welfare and products made in the USA and they don't carry what I choose to use now.

It's all good, though. Plenty of shoppers still buy and QVC is still standing....

Anything from the Valerie Parr Hill line. Many years ago her items used to be very nice and somewhat unique. Now everything is covered in glitter and very cheaply made. I bought a set of birds from her a few years ago and the paint job was so horrific that I immediately returned them. One of the two birds had only one eye painted on. The poor thing looked like he lost his eye in an accident.

Most of the vendors and merchandise brands that I have purchased and enjoyed have been gone from QVC for many years. It's been repeated time and time again but the quality that we once knew from QVC of the past is long gone.

too many to list☹️

I now go to the store, enjoy shopping and getting some exercise from walking the mall or my local stores.

Tshirtgal — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 01:57:37 GMT

No...

Dooney (I have plenty and prefer the I Love Dooney site)

WEN

Beekman

Philosophy

Aran Craft (I have plenty and they last forever)

Joggers or lounge sets

LOGO

Isaac (not for over a year- seems to mostly sell tee shirts and crop pants)

Shoes (postage too much to send to me and return. I buy Clark's elsewhere.

Casual tops at $70 and pants/jeans at $80 are a no. I can wait until prices drop which they always do.

I do purchase LUG on occasion, Luminara candles, some holiday from Valerie, some cosmetics/skin care, some Denim & Co., rarely Graver, a little Belle and lately Attitudes has items I like. I bought a substantial amount from Louis Del Olio whose collection is gone as well as his costume jewelry that coordinated with his clothes. I also miss Bob Mackie and his beautiful robes, maxi dresses and caftans. Joan Rivers had some lovely things but the collection now no longer interests me.

I still enjoy buying from the Q but I am much, much more selective and watch the pricing carefully.

Wen - Loved it till my hair fell out....doesn't happen to everyone, but unfortunately mine did

Philosophy - Wore Amazing Grace for some time...no longer

Since LDO left, I just don't buy

Over the years I've bought some wonderful items from the Q....miss the unique items

I feel there are too many to list also. But admittedly I'm just not shopping like I used to and finally smartened up to not believe all of their hype.

As @J Town Girl stated, VPH is one of them for sure. I agree the quality of her items has really suffered in the past few years. Your post cracked me up about the bird missing an eye (LOL) not that an eye injury is funny but I know exactly what you mean. So many items I received I had to do a little paint job myself! I finally woke up and said what am I doing paying all this money and having to fix it when it gets here!!??

Over the years, I've actually purchased very little from the Q. When my local mall lost all of its department stores I started looking here at clothing and ordered a couple of Belle items. Both were cheaply made and I rarely wear either of them. I won't order from that line again.

One was a waffle weave shirt that ties in front. It got runs in the fabric the first time I wore it. However, I absolutely love the blouse and I had lots of compliments on it the first couple of times I wore it. I can't bring myself to get rid of it quite yet but the other one is going to Goodwill.

Ryka, they just aren't like they used to be.

Kim Gravel, I purchased two pieces of her clothing, and they were very cheaply made and very expensive.

LOGO, they look like old hippie clothes to me

Susan Graver, expensive polyester clothing

Zuda, I mean, who are those clothes made for?
