Former Brands You Remember / Miss And Why?๐Ÿ˜Š

I was thinking of some of the former brands this morning, and thought of Royal Palace rugs because they ALWAYS presented them this time of year. They were of EXCELLENT quality with BEAUTIFUL, and exquisite designs!โค๏ธ I also remembered Thomas Pacconi! His holiday items too, were of excellent quality! My favorite purchase was a pair of shatterproof wreaths! They still look new!๐Ÿ˜Š

 

~~~All we need is LOVEโค๏ธ

For me it was Royal Palace rugs, George Simonton, Nolan Miller and Dialogue.

Linea, Bradley Bayou, Koos van den Akker. George Simonton,  Halston, Robert Lee Morris, Diane von Furstenberg and Barbara Bixby (even though she still has some products available).

All of them are/were real designers, not celebrities putting their names onto products, and the proof was in their individual and unique creations.

Louis Dell'Olio, George Simonton - class act.  In my mind the only two people that are true designers.

Years ago I bought some Royal Palace rugs, 5 in total.  But a few years ago I changed my color scheme and 3 of them had to be replaced.  I must have thrown them out as I don't have those 3 anymore.  I did not realize they were no longer selling on QVC.

Oh boy, do I miss Chantal's Ethocyn. it was shown on HSN by Polly Bergen. I was on auto-ship for years. And then HSN stopped carrying it. I hunted it down at other stores. Now they no longer make it.

 

I liked it because it worked. It was the only moisturizer that I used for many years. I am on my last vial and no looking forward to the changes in my skin, wonder what my future will bring.

I also liked Dialogue clothing. It was well made and wore well. And still looked good after working 8 or more hours.

I remember Connie Stevens skincare on HSN years ago. She was big for awhile and a lot of shows. I bought her big skincare kit with that "time machine" thingy that I don't think did a thing for me!
