Suggestion: Please show interior of purses

Auntie Goose — Thu, 04 Aug 2022 23:47:12 GMT

I have been watching lots of videos of handbags on QVC and the lack of showing the interior lining in purses is astonishing. Especially in the Lug and Adhorned line- where the interior pattern is a huge factor in purchasing. I would like to suggest that the hosts please show the interior of all the bags presented if they all have different patterns. And showing a graphic of the colors does not suffice due to the fact many watch QVC from a smart tv or app and the graphics and interface do not show.

I completely agree. Interior linings sell bags! I'm not sure why this isn't required of all hosts when presenting handbags. During the last TSV Lug bag Alberti was the only host I saw that made a point to show each lining. Kudos to him! When I shop for a new purse/tote at a b&m store I always look at the lining and I have often made a choice based on a pretty lining. The hosts aren't doing their job when they fail to show the bag inside and out.

Edited to add: I think I wasn't clear in my post. Yes, during the TSV Lug tote presentation the vendor showed one bag. All pockets and features were shown in detail. However, there were at least 8 different color selections of the tote and we only got to see the lining in a couple of them. Disappointing. By the time Aberti showed the linings at the end of the day the buzz was gone and I decided not to buy the TSV tote. It's getting good reviews so maybe next time. The video is still online to see how the host and vendor miss the opportunity completely.

I rarely see a presentation where they don't show the interior. Especially with Lug, Amy from the company usually goes over every inch in painful detail.

WOW .... this was a problem mentioned here at least 5 and maybe 10 years ago ..... and the hosts STILL don't realize we need to see all compartments and interiors?

In some instances, the INTERIOR is more important than the exterior.

How is this even possible?

Since most hosts are women, how is it they can't figure this out without having to be told? And if there's a vendor, why aren't THEY stepping in to demo the inside if the host can't be bothered to do so?

Very surprising, to say the least.

@Auntie Goose - The ones that don't show the interior are more interested in talking about their family and vacations.

If I am looking at a bag on-line, if they do not show the interior, then I'm not buying! I need to see how it is constructed, the color, the lining, the pockets or zippers, or lack thereof, etc. The inside is about as important as the outside to me. It should always be done by all places on-line.

I have seen this same request more times than I have fingers on which to count! Two reactions: first, is that I agree with the concept because I do want to see inside a bag before I buy, but, my second thought hasn't changed over the years either. I do not think doing that would make much difference in sales although some bags might get sold to different shoppers. I believe that's what producers tell the hosts.

That thought comes from the years when I was shopping for handbags on QVC and would have picked up several I saw but I waited to see the inside and the color I liked?? gone! Rarely did I have any interest in other colors.

Right now it doesn't matter at all because handbags are off my personal buy list.

Lug shows are the worst. Mary Beth never shows inside of them. It makes me wonder if she is afraid the zipper won't work....? Yes, Yes, yes, the inside fabric does matter !!! I will return it if i don"t like it,. If lug won't show it, maybe they should just use a plain neutral fabric in all the bags !

A few months ago Q sent me a Handbag survey. I had to choose styles, materials, sizes, shapes of what appealed to me or if I would purchase it.

In the comment section at the end I noted that hosts need to show the insides of handbags. I have seen it requested here many times as well. Still not done by most hosts.
