Qvc has been losing m I ney year after year but I think it's become a qvc brands only now. Gone r the says of designers that r not owned by qvc. I noticed I only bought barefoot dreams over the past year and I can get better prices from them directly. It seems to me that the styles have become a bit more on the elderly side and I am not saying that in any kind of offense to anybody but u can get those styles anywhere. I like the unusual, different, unique fabrics like they used to have years ago. I'm turning 60 this year but I like cool clothes. All I see is graver she spends her time looking at herself, Kim where everything's money, denim and co where most has gone country. Anyone eles getting sick of these 3? And agree with the fashion styles.

I think they do need to get some more brands and designers of clothing that we know!  While it's all well and good to promote their own brands, and Graver, who has been around forever and has I'm sure a good following, and then Kim, who is sort of new here.  I can't afford to buy really expensive clothing any more since I retired and I really don't have the need to buy a lot of the stuff I used to buy, i.e., work clothes, but I am like the OP, I still enjoy fashionable things even though I'm considered by most to be old (71) and I like different and interesting fabrics, styles and details.  I want a good value and good quality.  I guess I ask for a lot!

Q airs the same old, same old products week after week, month after month. Most of us could receite presentations. Besides, you can find everything you want elsewhere.

Agree 100%!  Use to watch QVC faithfully but haven't done so for years.  Not only can items be found elsewhere, but better prices and free shipping.  I'm always amazed at people who post here that they have spend thousands in the past year at QVC.  I wonder what they buy here???

I agree with you. There were some great brands back in the day. I'm sure it's about profit, unfortunately. I'm sick,to death of Kim Gravel, Susan Graver and Denim & Co. I also think Barefoot Dreams is very overpriced. I purchased a couple of their items and wasn't all that impressed.

Also quite a lot of AnyBody, it seems their prices have gone up too.

Yes as well as all the other brands.  Denim and Co prices are just crazy too.  Lucky to find any top that is not $50 or more.  For polyester mostly.  I used to find most of my clothes at Marshalls or TJMaxx but even their inventory is mostly cheap poly fabrics of poor quality.  Shopping has definitely changed for the worst in the last few years.

Many retailers, both online and brick and mortar, are now pushing their in-house brands over national names.


And some specialized brands are now being offered in places other than their own stores or websites.

I am 65 and still work. I do not want to wear clothes that date me. I have found more stylish clothes on HSN, especially G by Guiliana, also Macy's, Nordstrom, the Gap. Even at Costco and Sams Club.
