Many colors are called MAHOGANY or OXBLOOD which are really on the outskirts of what the color truly should look like…….THIS IS MAHOGANY…………….Mahogany is a very very deep WINE with strong undertones of DARK BROWN…..This is the DEEPEST, DARKEST, RICHEST wine I have done to date. That certainly doesn’t negate the other wines I have done, such as Aubergine, Claret, Sangria etc, but they are all definite wine colors, all paler with red being the predominate color…………Mahogany is in a category by itself…………Due to it’s dept and darkness….it would make the perfect pant color. This is the only style I have done in this color, but if you all like it I will bring it back in other styles……….Above, I have paired the Mahogany sweater with the new BLACK WK LONG SKIRT, A257384………….To accessorize I have chosen the Fleur de Lis cross in the wine, J271859 and two of the coordinating station necklaces, J271861. The necklace has enameled beads and clear glass beads….all floating from a LINEA GOLD chain…….The earring is my BOLD HOOP in GOLD which will be returning this fall………………………………………………………………………………………….Enjoy……………………………much Love…………………………………….Louis

The SHIRT COLLARED SWEATER in BLACK is the perfect backdrop for all the new…and already acquired….LINEA JEWELRY……..The CROSS OF THE SEASON….is the REVERSIBLE cross shown above. On one side it is PAVED with tiny hand set CRYSTALS, and a SQUARE PEARL in the center. The reverse side is smooth metal with a RIM outlining the cross, and a center BLACK JET GLASS STONE……To coordinate with the cross….the SHRIMP EARRING……which will be avail in GUNMETAL with HEMATITE stones, SILVER with the CLEAR CRYSTALS and GOLD, again with the CLEAR CRYSTALS…..I have chosen to show the sweater in the photos with the matching BLACK WK SKIRT, and my IVORY CREPE LINED PANT……How many ways can you wear this Shirt Collared Sweater?………..TOO many to count!…………………………………………………………………………………..

……………………………………………………….enjoy……………..much Love…………..Louis

So many ways …so many choices to wear your BLACK SHIRT COLLAR SWEATER….Above the BABY CHEETAH KNIT SKIRT, A257352……It’s a terrific piece to refresh what you already own……It always makes you feel good to wear something……..NEW!……………………………………………………………………..enjoy…………..much Love…………………..Louis

Morning….I just noticed J284043, the 72″ black jets faceted glass bead necklace is avail. It must be a return, because the reorder hasn’t and will not arrive for some time…..you know what they say about the “early bird”!

The PETROL BLUE CARDIGAN, A257380…..is  MODERN…and TIMELESS………….The ZIP FRONT closure accentuates it’s CLEAN lines. The cardigan is approx. 27 inches long and has long sleeves. The RIB DETAILING is at the bottom of the sleeve and is approx. 6 1/2″ wide. The ribs at the bottom of the sweater are approx. 11″ wide. This is not a waist whittling sweater. The ribs are positioned over the hips and DO have a slimming effect. The jewel neckline allows for all kinds of accessories including the REVERSIBLE CROSS that has been reordered in all of the original colors. The button earring with the cabochon center stone, shown in the picture above, has been reordered in all of the original colors and is NOW avail. The skirt shown above is the new WHISPER KNIT LONG SKIRT, A257384, in the BLACK. It is also available in the matching PETROL BLUE for that COLUMN of color…..Wearing a sweater and skirt in matching colors will give you a two piece DRESS LOOK, with the advantage of being able to get the separate sizes you may need…..The cardigan can be worn on it’s own with nothing under it….but….for another alternative you might like to have the matching PETROL BLUE TANK, A237404. This cardigan is unlike any other that I have done in WK, and I think will be a welcome addition to your Whisper Knit wardrobe…………………………………………………………………………………..enjoy……………………………much Love……………………………….Louis
