They've expanded the line to includ3 new items.  I wonder, however, if they've improved thre quality?  The few pieces I bought in past years were pretty bad.  I wouldn't buy more.

Let's face it.

 

 

Q has a handful of "designers" left , so the ones still on the payroll let it go to thier heads.

 

It's REALLY ridiculous this year....and I thought it couldn't be beat by last year's tidal waves of Sherpa ______. ( you fill in the blank).

 

Of course, Sherpa is the new polyester coh-hun....

@Othereeeen   I don't like that everyone is dumbing down to sherpa to make their items more affordable.  All that does is cheapen them.  I will not buy sherpa and am sorry that even Issac and Graver are going down to sherpa instead of their good fleece.  I always looked forward to Graver polar fleece but now we get sherpa.  Not for me.  Good thing I have enough of everything.

I think it's a waste fabric!!!

 

 

"Sweep up that  dirty old stuff on the cutting room floor Joe....we can use it for SOMETHING!!!".

 

And it washes so weird....gets all crumblyknotty and tight and wound with pet (or ?)hairs you can never remove!!!

 

SOMETIMES I think the hairs are part of the "sherpa" to begin with....from what kind of head is anyone's guess...

 

They come to the top as you wear it!!!

 

 

Blechhhhh........

I heard them say that Amal is designing items based on her own closet. The line is moving away from lounge/casual wear. At least not that entirely.

@Gkhm   I think it's pretty funny to think that what we can buy in the mass market of QVC is what designers sell in the "real" designer market. The designers  themselves know why they offer both, but to different shoppers!

Ah....but we have to consider the complex geography of her "closet".....

 

 

Is she designing stuff for QVC and HSN based on what SHE'D wear each day ( at the FRONT of her "closet?")

 

 

Or...does she use as a template, for us, the stuff in the back, on the floor, or askew on hangers.....stuff that she can replicate in Sherpa as if it's a NEW idea, and push it out to the shopping channels?

 

 

Sherpa is horrible fabric. I wish they'd move on from it. But don't peg the fashion scale in the other direction and create a bunch of clothes that look like something Dorothy would glide around in on "Golden Girls"....

 

 

How about clothes that can be worn in public, isn't see through or baggy or high water or covered with patches like the stuff we got rid of last week at GoodWill..... or shapeless, or droopy, or festooned with lace trim, balloon sleeves, huge checkerboard patterns, wierd ruffles or slits and slats on the sleeves?!?!? Or "Bozo the Clown" lapels for crying out loud?!?!?!???

 

Idea for her ( and I don't know who this designer is...it it a woman or a man or a corporation?)....

 

 PLEASE no more bizarre clothes!!!

 

ANd if you're going to make your Sherpa dreams come to life, please leave the hairs out of it. ( The ones that always appear from nowhere, knotted and twisted into the clumpy fabric the first time you wash it....>!!!)

 

Thanks!!!!

@D Kay.  Where did anyone get the idea that "brand ambassadors" are designers?

I have no idea what her design capabilities are.  I am just repeating what was stated on air.
