I blame the QVC Buyers.  They are the ones that dictate what "the QVC demographic" wants to see and wear.  However, QVC runs the same items into the ground mercilessly.  T-shirt after t-shirt, jean after jean, lounge set upon lounge set.

 

QVC keeps to the same song sheet of selling what has already sold.  How in the world does any designer or manufacturer step out of the QVC mold if it won't even get air-time?  

 

Then some complain that all tops in every brand don't come long and cover the hips.  These brands are just trying to make a dollar under QVC's apparent stale percentage sales strategy.


@Caaareful Shopper   Just wait, only weeks away from hours each day of PJs, throws, nose hair gadgets, Poo-Pourri, weird gifts and sheet sets.

 

I've found other things to do and if I watch TV, it's rarely Q.

And I remember clearly that at least twice Carolyn Gracie and Gary were doing a D&C show and she stated proudly that she had gone into a "name" store, bought an item and given it to Gary to replicate!

 

I know this goes on but I was amazed that she would state it on tv! Some designer!

Nothing new, Jill Bauer used to talk about doing that all the time -----how she found something in a store or catalog and brought it into QVC to make something similar at a more affordable price.....and when the item was ready to market she bragged it was her idea....
