This might not be a popular host, given the amount of orders that Kim Gravel takes in for the Q, but has anyone else had enough of her? Is she taking over the Q? Miss some of the old real designers like Isaac. Kim's jingle bell line, while popular it seems, is a miss. I tried one item and that was the end. Quality, sizing, tact, clearly lacking for me. There is whimsical and then there's classy whimsical. Ok, if it helps you smile, all is good. But the pricing does not match the product provided. I am very curious what people think about Kim Gravel, her path at QVC and her continued 'takeover' of QVC. Thank you.

Never watch her and her "sidekick"???  Not impressed with what I see of her products and IMO, way overpriced.

I'm a big fan and always enjoy her shows. I am a minimalist when it comes to beauty/make-up so I don't purchase those items of hers. I also haven't ordered any of her decor...yet. However, I have several of her fashion pieces I LOVE!

 

My absolute fave garments from her line are a crushed velvet dress & top and another tie velvet top. I have all 4 colors of the dress and the wine/burgundy/italian plum & black of both of the tops...

I am not a fan of her line at all, I used to use her cosmetics, I was an ardent fan but her clothing? NOPE. I think it is cheaply made and looks it, all but one piece of what I ordered has been returned.

I have basically quit watching the Q - do a quick check of what is new for the day on my laptop and if something catches my eye I check it out further...and wait for a free ship day.  I have noticed that she has her finger in many pies at this point, but most does not appeal to me or is way too pricey.

For those that don't like her...don't buy her stuff.  I like her.  Especially her pants.  If she's all over the place, it's for  a good reason.  She sells.

All of her tops are too long for most petites. Togas don't usually "do it"for us. Otherwise, her styles often appeal to me, but i do not buy anything in her line due to the length issue.

I suspect QVC is thrilled with Gravel's "take over."

They must wish that every new vendor soars to the top in sales. I've got a gazillion of her jeans and they are the best fitting, best made, most comfortable I've ever had.  I'm a very happy customer.

 

But the real question is why do want a highly successful woman to disappear?  She is obviously very good at what she does, and isn't she just the kind of female entrepreneur our country needs to build jobs? Have you ever thought about how much Kim Gravel's whole line of goods contributes to our economy? We should be jumping up and down for joy.

@DessieDo   It doesn't matter to QVC what you and a handful of other posters think about Kim Gravel. The bottom line is that she is making a lot of money for the Q. Viewers tune in to see her and her antics and her products.  As long as her products are selling she will stay. She didn't take over the Q nor did she run off Isaac.
