How did I miss this. Jill left the Q has her own website selling bumblebella like items

 

she still thinks she's Miss Yellowstone but she on her own

 

she officially launched Oct 1 2024

 

it's her name dot com


If Oct 1 2024 hasn't occurred yet why is "launched" in the  past tense?

I know Issac has a separate website selling fasion.  Very different from QVC.  Skirts much shorter.  Cropped tops, real leather instead of fake.

Re: Jill Martin left the Q

[ Edited ]

Jill is introducing her own redesigned sherpa on her new website in October.  They still look like the familiar sherpa lounger/cardigans she's been selling on QVC for years. But she obtained marketing deals with sports leagues -- NFL, NBA, and NCAA, to have their licensed logos on the back of them.  It's similar to what she did with her Yellowstone sherpas. 

 

I honestly don't see them being very popular outside of her Today Show co-workers, and her Hamptons friends.  But I do wish her well for trying.

I like Jill and wish her the best in her future endeavors. She isn't afraid to try new things and venture out there, that's for sure! I give her a lot of credit for that. I hope she is successful and remains healthy!

I wish her well on her journey in life. That said, I never bought anything from GILI once LR left as the style was not high end and really despise the look and feel of "sherpa", so Bumble bella can go off into the sunset and live on her site.

I’m surprised she would continue with that Bumblebella - Sherpa line (somewhere else) even if it’s w/the Sports Logo. Q pushed that Sherpa on everyone ad nauseum.

She's very well established now on NBC with numerous The Today Show appearances. 

 

She may not need QVC at all, at this point.

I'm not surprised.  I can't believe those fuzzy wuzzy bear coats were profitable for QVC.  I think they kept her as a courtesy when she was ill.  I did see pics of a party for football significant others...their team.  Jill was there and there was a rack of those coats.

It's a good sign, that Jill is starting a new business venture. It's great that she appears to be recovering well and ready to start new projects. Never a fan of Bumblebella, but always enjoyed watching Jill.

 

She's been through quite a bit. I wish her success in whatever she attempts. I wouldn't be surprised, if she returned to Q at some point, though. She has a history and friends at the Q.
