Has anyone else noticed that ''suddenly'' Kim Gravel shows up with 'flexabelle' fabric in her pants? (actually Quacker Factory's Dream Jeans seem awfully similar....) and then today she has ponte pants with a 'cross design' on the legs...(also very similar to a QF design for many years...) I have ordered Kim's products but returned most all of them - the material is great, but the placement of pockets, etc is all wrong....or the pockets are too small to be worthwhile. I certainly hope that Quacker Factory is not leaving ...I will definitely be following... and Kim's make-up? Really...forget it. She's a nice lady, but original please - QF and Bare Minerals don't need copying...and copying that is NOT up to their quality. Am I the only one who sees this 'coincidence'?? (I think not)

Don't know if one is replacing the other but Kim appears to be Queen for many hours.

Just bought first item ever - it's okay but won't order much more.

Change is inevitable. I think QVC, like any other business, primarily makes decisions based on what is selling. They also must look to the future to try to determine what is trending.

I have no idea.  But, I rarely see either one.  I do like Kim's Hover Cover concealer though. Don't know that she is trying to copy any other brand.

QF hasn't kept up with it's original offerings - I have a denim jacket from years ago that's all appliqued ... there's been nothing like it for years.

QF is just a shadow of what it used to be.  

Other than that one crushed velvet shirt she had recently - there's nothing that Kim Gravel sells that come close to the kind of clothes I would even think of waring.

It seems to me both Quacker and Kim are both QVC brands. I just bought some Quacker leggings and they were so thin and cheep I couldn't believe it.

I do not care for either brands.  They are not my style.

I am a Kim fan. I have a lot of her clothes, and some of her makeup. If you look up her background you'll find she has a strong background in both.

I'm an Angel fan too. I can find some cute things in her line too, although I am a "quiet quacker" !

I do not think fabric choice has anything to do with "replacing" vendors.

QVC carries what sells--PERIOD.

Most women nowadays like stretchy fabrics, so everybody is doing that.

I have a lot of Quacker Factory--it is always comfortable, casual, fun and whimsical!

I like the little sequin designs all over the QF clothes.

I have not purchased Kim Gravel yet, but since I do not need any more clothes, I may never do so.

Obviously Kim has a following and there are ladies who like her style. 

To each her own!

I do some things similar...but I think each has its own following....
