“THE POSH KNIT V-NECK SWEATER, A238531, is avail to order now……….The colors that this style will be avail. in are……….BLACK……….CAMEL………IVORY………RASPBERRY. The V-neck band is made of tiny ribs that overlap where the two bands meet at the bottom of the V. The photos above illustrate the unique V neckline…….just a small detail to take it out of the ordinary. The sleeves are long. I would say you can order your normal size if you plan to wear it on its’ own or with a silk cami. If you plan on layering it with the Posh Knit mock neck or the ballet neck Posh Knit…..you may want to size up one.. With the spandex there is stretch, but you don’t want it to HAVE to stretch too much………This is another classic……another LINEA ESSENTIAL……….these are PRECIOUS FIBER sweaters and they cost more, but nothing else really feels quite like them……………………………….

I am now introducing my FOURTH line of OLO products, the…..POSH KNITS……………..What are POSH KNITS?…………Posh Knits, a REGISTERED name, are a group of FULLY FASHIONED sweaters in a very UNIQUE and EXCLUSIVE blend of yarns and fibers…………. The knit wear is comprised of  70% SILK, 15% NYLON, 12% CASHMERE and 3% Spandex…..Why this blend. Silk and Cashmere are very delicate and luxurious yarns, but they do not have memory…….which mean when they are stretched out of shape, like when you push up your sleeve, and then pull it down again, they will not go back into shape……no memory……they are also fragile yarns and the nylon twisted with the silk and cashmere yarn gives them added strength………….The SPANDEX…….gives the yarns their MEMORY, so the sweaters will not loose there shape…….the necks will not stretch out……This is a blend that is EXCUSIVE to Linea, and not just at QVC. You will not find this exact blend and this quality anywhere else. It is only made to order, and only enough yarn is produced for each individual specific order. It is too expensive to have yarn sitting on the shelf…….This is predominately a SILK sweater not a Cashmere sweater, but the 12% of cashmere gives the sweaters a Cashmere TOUCH! These sweaters are smooth and not ITCHY at all. Cashmere sweaters should not be ITCHY EVER! If they are it is a low grade of yarn that still has impurities in it……or you may be allergic….that unfortunately can happen………………..These are very LIGHT WEIGHT sweaters, which makes them perfect for layering. Cashmere and silk are considered warm yarns…..remember…….lots of light layers will keep you warmer in the winter than a bulky sweater. As you all know, I constantly get asked by many of you to bring you QUALITY garments……POSH KNITS ARE QUALITY GARMENTS……yes, they cost more than Whisper Knits……silk and cashmere , and  even this fine spandex yarn…..are more COSTLY………………………………………In the photos above I have the Ivory cardigan, A238520, paired with the gray Whisper Knit skirt. The cardigan will be the only Posh Knit sweater to get airtime, but watch out for my SNEAK PEEKS on my shows. I will have each and every style, not every color, worn by the models. Also, in the photos is the POSH KNIT muffler that will be avail OLO, and will be avail. in EVERY COLOR. Also, avail in EVERY COLOR will be the POSH KNIT TANK….It is the sweater being worn under the BLACK cardigan with the muffler….I think these two sweaters make the perfect “TWIN SET”….and with the matching muffler….pure DESIGNER………These are very GENEROUS MUFFLERS, both in width and length, and would make a wonderful Holiday gift……I am going to go out on a limb and say…..if you are between sizes….size up…..if you have an ample bust…..size up…..if you intend to layer them with more than the tank…..size up………it can’t hurt….these are not over sized cardigans, and they can be worn alone as pullovers with nothing under them…….well maybe a sexy cami, but that’s just for you to know………..I sincerely hope you are pleased with this product. I know the POSH KNIT turtle necks, [they weren’t called Posh Knit when introduced], have pleased many of you for the past four years………….I am hoping these new POSH KNITS are successful, so QVC will be open to more QUALITY OLO products……who knows….maybe real SILK skirts and blouses will be next!………………………….scroll down………………enjoy…………….much Love……………………..Louis

The POSH KNIT CARDIGAN, A238520, is now avail in SEVEN COLORS! CAMEL and the RASPBERRY above are two out of the seven. These are sweaters that can be worn right now, through the winter, and right on through spring…..and for some in the northern climes…..through summer.  Above is the CAMEL PK cardigan worn with the IVORY LONG SLEEVE JEWEL NECK PK and my IVORY faux de Chine pleated skirt, which many of you own……a wonderful season- less look. With the RASPBERRY PK cardigan……I have it paired with the PK MOCK NECK ELBOW SLEEVE sweater………Both looks are finished off with the MUST HAVE MUFFLERS. What I want you  to seriously consider is….the many ways you can mix your colors…..besides the obvious  of the matching twin set, and putting BLACK or IVORY with everything……. Layering and mixing the colors will give you a wide range of possibilities on how you can wear your PK cardigans……………..CAMEL with IVORY, BLACK, GREY, CADET BLUE……………….RASPBERRY with, IVORY, BLACK, GRAY…..even CAMEL….when worn with the right jacket. Above, the RASPBERRY is paired with the WALNUT WK SKIRT…………..Now the mixing I’m describing is POSH KNIT with POSH KNIT….but…..think of all the things you may already own that would be fun to mix with your PK cardigans!………………………enjoy………………….much Love…………………….Louis

Above is the POSH KNIT CARDIGAN, A238520, the PK JEWEL NECK LONG SLEEVE sweater, the PK TURTLE NECK…..and again, the must have PK MUFFLER. The CADET BLUE is the perfect match to the CADET BLUE QUILTED VEST…..notice the light layers…….the long sleeve jewel neck with the cardigan over it, the VEST and then the muffler……for both “THE LOOK’ and the practicality of it!…….. It doesn’t get more CHIC than GRAY and CAMEL….it always brings to mind Hitchcock’s BLONDS……….but not bad on RED HEADS and BRUNETTES too!…….I love the multi color METALLIC NECKLACE with this combination, but this is a case where the solid GOLD, GUNMETAL or SILVER would work equally as well……………………I think these are perfect POSH KNIT colors…..CLASSIC and TIMELESS…..these colors transcend …..trends….&…fads…………..I hope they bring you years of enjoyment………….much Love…………………Louis

…………….PURPLE HAZE……….a very appropriate name………The Purple Haze and the Raspberry are very difficult colors to capture………..They either come out too bright, as is the case with the Raspberry, and not quite smokey enough……….but don’t misunderstand…..they are not by any stretch of the imagination….dull colors……I like to think of them as feminine, sophisticate….romantic colors……I hope you agree. Above, I have the PURPLE HAZE paired with the CAVIAR pant, and I think it is a wonderfully chic combination. Again, I have both cardigans with the MOCK NECK and the MUFFLER…..As you can see the Mock Neck is avail in both  the Raspberry and the PURPLE HAZE…….. The Purple Haze was created to go with your VIOLET TWEED jackets, and likewise the Raspberry was created to go with your Raspberry Tweed jackets………….enjoy…….much Love……………Louis
