A Walker... I loved your rant and wholeheartedly agree. The bottom line is the bottom line from either perspective. If they don't sell, they don't have a job. If items are way over priced, we look elsewhere. They are not the only game in town. I love the convenience of the Q and a few of the specific designers. I love buying, wearing and watching LOGO and have recently become a fan of Isaac's 24/7 pants... however, Lori is pricing herself right out of biz at the height of her game. I received a top from her the other day. It stated it was the slub knit. The top had chiffon and sequins on the bottom. When it came, it was nothing like the other slub knit pieces. It was more like tissue paper, seriously thin and clingy. I love her clothes but I will not pay those prices if the quality goes down so she can make them faster. Why can't people just make a good product, sell it for a fair price, build up some brand loyalty and not get so greedy? I hope she is not going in the direction of China so that she can supply her new Mon. night show. Ugggh. When they have a good thing going, why not leave it alone.

Off topic, sort of... well, not really. We found a great yard guy that did a great job for a reasonable price. He was glad to get the referral from another customer to talk to us and we were happy with him and continued to refer him to our neighbors. He was very dependable, coming when he said he would. Before long, he had hired some extra help and you guessed it... they didn't come when they said they would, they didn't do as good a job as he did and before long he had so much business in our neighborhood that he couldn't keep up with the work and his quality went down fast, so people began to find someone else. He could have kept enough customers to do a good job and make folks happy and all would have rocked on smoothly. Greed. It ruins things.

I, too, have a few things from IM's old Target days and they are holding up well. I would hate to think he sold better quality for a lot less at Target and he thinks this gig will last if we get less now. Shoppers are more discriminating these days, we have to be.

I think you made some very good points in your rant above. The hosts are there to sell the things in their show. Some of it we will think is worth what we pay and we will return. Some things don't make the cut. Some of stories and tactics they use to "get to us" really bother me. I mean, really.

First, do you think that Isaac is responsible for the higher prices? Why blame him? Every single line's prices have risen sky high. Look at Susan Graver, Quacker Factory, Denim & Co., Bob Mackie, etc. all these lines used to be affordable, not any longer. It seems you just can't purchase anything under $50 these days. Last week I was looking at a top, sorry I don't remember the designer and with S&H, it came to $90. There was just no way I was going to buy it. So don't blame Isaac, it's not his greed, if that's the case you have to blame greed on everything on the Q lately. Put the blame where it belongs, the shopping channel who controls every line and who sets all these ridiculous prices.

I hear you.

So far, I've been buying Mizrahi items on sale--and being very happy with them. I have two scarves I wear to bits--but they are a bit thin and I see the wear happening more than I'd like. However, they were lunchtime specials and so I'm not upset. However to your point, if they were full price, I'd not be as happy about it.

I've gotten several flowered cardigans I can wear as tops and they are also holding up very well and are washable. I travel with them. Over a pair of WWC pants and I look fairly well dressed compared to being in jeans.

I'll continue to buy his clothes but I'm being very picky. Not all of the items are good and I was disappointed in a few of them. Overall, however, I find them better than the average and they have a certain something that makes them cheerful and stylish. I get compliments continually on several zipper sweaters.

Every thing I buy seems to be trying to preserve the bottom line profit by cheapening things these days. In some cases, it has gone to the point where I'm completely dissatisfied and I no longer will buy anything from them. Can be food, clothing, you name it.

I'm not sure if you only shop Isaac Mizrahi, because your post seems to blame him for the high QVC prices. But QVC pricing has gone considerably higher for nearly everything. Check out the other designers, the jewelry, the food -- it has become ridoculous in some instances. For me, that one great "Featured Price" does not make up for 100 regular QVC sky high Prices. That's QVC, not Isaac. How do you account for G.I.L.I. ususally being through the roof? That has and was always a QVC brand, with QVC pricing for their self-described luxury items. Some are a wonderful hit, and others, well, not so much (like most other brands), but talk about pricey!

Isaac.... there is no question that you are ADORABLE.....and Shawn has been my favorite from the first day she was on the air.....together you are such a PLUS to QVC.......

BUT.....Please don't insult our intelligence nor our savvy regarding fashion and clothing. We want to believe you and love so many of your things.....but then sometimes it feels like you take advantage of our trust in you?!

Quit lowering the quality of your garments and raising the prices. Greed will result in failure.

We cannot and do not want to and won't continue to purchase a cheap printed block of polyester material made up into a blouse for around 75.00 once you add shipping and handling! WHAT????!!!! Stop it!

You say you care about us and that you know us......really? I think you have lost touch...

Still a fan of YOU but no longer a customer of your line.

Does Iman have a line with QVC ?

Ewwww ... If I were Iman, I would like that.
