Re: Love the clothes, not the vendor so much....?

@Desertdi   Reminds me of the line in PRETTY WOMEN when the sales girls wouldn't help Julia Roberts and she returned dressed up with oodles of packages to say " Big Mistake".

I can't stand either of the "designers" you mentioned so no - won't buy their clothes.

Dennis Basso is another one - I love some of his coats but I won't buy his stuff.

yes St. John knits and JCP's St. John's Bay are often confused by the name 


@jackthebear   Confusing the names of the lines of clothing is not the issue. The rude comment was not called for at all.

It probably depends on WHY I dislike the vendor. For example, pre-Covid, I thought Kim Gravel was a bit “much”, but I like her clothes very much (and I’m really liking her from home, personality tempered a bit by distance.

I wasn't a fan of Kim G much either, but she's changed her presentation and is a bit more enjoyable to watch 

 

 

Rinnas clothes I like but Q asks way too much for what they are

I’m just happy someone explained the St John’s BAY connection, because I had no idea what the sales person was referencing and just thought that she knew little about fashion! I would have been so confused if she said that to me. (Regardless, as noted, there’s no excuse for her rudeness.)

If I don't care for a designer, I'm unlikely to watch his/her presentation or buy the clothing.

There is one vendor that has a line of clothes on QVC that I find so offensive, rude, crude and disgusting that I would never buy anything from her line.  However, because I dislike her so much, I also won't ever watch when she's on. 

 

If I found staff at a particular store or boutique to be rude, unhelpful, etc., I wouldn't shop there either. 

 

I don't need to be a perfect human being to judge the behaviors of others and think that those behaviors are wrong, repulsive or offensive.

Susan Graver, don't like the vendor and don't like the clothes.


But this doesn't really answer the original question; it's just a way to say something negative about Susan and her line of clothing.

Some, including me, must like Susan's designs because QVC sells a loit of it. That happens to be the only line of clothing that fits me perfectly.
