@I am still oxox - Yes, it's odd that this OP posted a similar complaint about Kim Gravel and Belle in January 2023.  3 years ago?  And still posting the same thing?

I agree with you; time for her to move on.  Why would anyone be keeping tabs on a designer/vendor/whoever that they didn't like that long ago?

And warning us about it?  

(Maybe some derive some kind of weird satisfaction from it?)

I find Kim Gravel to be a hit or miss.  I'm petite and most of her tops are just too long including the sleeves.  I don't care for rolling my sleeves up all the time. I also really don't like when she does a puffy or full sleeve.  It adds more volume to the body.  I prefer a slimmer cut.

However I really like her scuba fabric a lot.  I like the way it fits and feels against my skin.  One of my favorites is the sparkle & shine hoodie A711080.  Yes it's not a petite but it is fun to wear and have gotten compliments whenever I wear it.  It's more of a casual look.

@haddon9  I too like her scuba fabric and I also like some of her blouses and prints. Will watch for as is or clearance but I'm not paying full price

Welp, I'm looking forward to KG 'all sale' show with Amy in about 5 minutes. 

The last garment I purchased from the line was a striped hoodie which I love. I started a thread about it in the fashion forum a couple of weeks ago.

I'm going to make a tall mug of black coffee before the show starts...

Yes, she's free to spend her profits on a new headquarters and people are free to no longer buy her products because she's spending profits on a new headquarters.

@Calibeach  You missed my point. I am not commenting on KG's prices or what she sells. I think that the post was about the business decisions the poster thinks are being made. None of her business. This is clothing we are talking about and there are hundreds of other places to shop. It is obvious the poster has an agenda.

@Janey2  No I didn't miss anything...Kim is bragging about her 'wealth' the vacations, the stuff she buys, the new corporate building and vehicles they will buy to commute to the 'Belle Campus'

It is our business because it affects our budgets as it pertains to us shopping her brand. No one is sneaking around looking for this info, Kim is telling us in a bragging manner during her shows! The shows where she's selling tops at $70-80 when they used to be sold at $35-40. The OP is free to post as little or often as anyone else. It's creepy that anyone would look at her history to use it to intimidate her. Why do that?

What's up with this investigation of prior posts? I don't get here very often now but in years past, I don't remember this happening.

I am happy for Kim's success, happy that she is building a nice space for herself, her employees, and guest. Building a new space provides work for a lot of people.

@Calibeach I posted that to show this is not the first time she has commented on Kim. Intimidate  her. I doubt she read the boards or even cares. Creepy is what I call your comment calling me out

@Tori3569    Couldn't agree more.    I have far too many clothes in my home, but none from Kim.  Talbot's and J Jill have brick  and Mortar stores in a mall about a half mile from my home.  I don't go to the mall often. but when I do, I don't shop either store.  I'm not excited about the quality or the prices at either, but if I were and wanted to shop them, I know some part of what I spend goes to pay their rent, their employees, their insurances, their utilities, etc.
