Louis, You had mentioned that you have wonderful Sneak Peek pictures of your New Faux Suede Jacket (in FOUR colour options), that will be available for your August Show!
It’s August! Please may we see your Sneak Peek!
I think Louis did a sneak peak of the new jacket on his last QVC show in the afternoon. It was adorable! I intend to purchase. I am looking forward to the range of colors for the new jacket. I think the jacket that he sneak peaked was in the sage or olive range, but I might be incorrect. Louis will not disappoint. I am sure we will get sneak peak prior to August 22.
The new faux suede jacket was shown when the leggings (A260034) were being presented on July 18. You can go online and watch the legging video, and you will see the jacket. Can’t wait until August 22 !!
Thank you Joanne and Fairfax. Watched the Video – the Jacket looks Fabulous – and yes it did look like an Olive colour which i LOVE! Cant’s wait to see the other colour options.
Louis I am so yearning for Linea suede. I have always loved suede, however for the past two years this desire just gets stronger with each passing season. Please consider brinding us some suede items. Wanting chestnut and dark & brighter blues. Also loving the oiled leather & oiled nubuck.
Will the whisper knit swing turtleneck be coming back and in what colors? Sorry if this is has been asked and answered but I couldn’t find. Thanks!!
Hi Louis, I’m wondering if you are planning to do any Whisper Knits next spring in bright colors like the Fiesta colors of 2013? I have all the Fiesta colors — hot pink, lime, aqua, tangerine — in the open front kimono cardigan A233950 as well as the sleeveless V-necks and mock necks. I can’t tell you how much wear I have gotten out of them and they always look so nice and summery. Today I am wearing the lime sleeveless V-neck with the kimono cardigan (for a/c!!) with your lime seed bead necklace. I am hoping for more bright summery colors for next spring.
Dear Jane….There are no plans for WK in those colors for next spring, but I will have boho skirts and crinkle georgette saffari shirts in Fiesta colors….maybe the following spring?
Thanks, Louis. The boho skirts aren’t for me, but I will look forward to the Fiesta colors in the crinkle safari shirt. And, I will keep hoping for the WKs in these colors for the following spring.
I’m am all in favor of the Fiesta colors for Boho skirts and crinkle blouses, but add a nice yellow for me please!!
Yes, Shari yellow is one of the colors….they will be avail next Feb…..some may think that’s early for “fiesta” colors, but better to be early for the season then late!
It’s NEVER too early for fiesta colors, Louis. Here in “the Big Easy” we do Fiesta all year long! I’ll be watching for these come February.
Louis, it looks like QVC is loading the new colors for A262037 Raglan Sleeve Knit Tee. The blackberry has switched from sold out to waitlist which generally indicates they are inputting the colors into the system. Coffee Bean, Taupe and Teal are still showing S/O. But, I wanted to post here for the Linea Ladies who know how the routine on QVC.com works – and they may want to keep an eye out for their favorite color(s). I really like this tee – almost as much as the short sleeve version (which is still my fave since I’m a Florida gal, LOL).
FYI – The Torsade Necklace J290366 is back in inventory at Q. Black, Red and Turquoise. I have all three – Beautiful!
Dear Seka….I checked and there are three red and four black so either they are extremely late returns or they were sitting on a shelf?!
Louis, Thank you for the clarification. Whatever quantity was there in Red and Black are all gone. It’s a shame Q didn’t re-order – many Ladies would have liked to get this Necklace.
FYI…two of my favorite jackets that were not previously reduced are now on sale.
A230025 Animal jacquard zip front jacket clearance price $49.62
A273861 Double breasted trench jacket in navy, red, & white $49.72
I have multiples in both, they are that good. I don’t post on the Forum, so if someone wants to list them over there it would be great.
I am with designista!
I own 4 of the animal jacquard jackets-topaz, gray,chocolate and olive. They are all so lovely and flattering. They were all worth it at full price – on sale-a must have. These jackets are so versatile and so slimming. Louis is world class at draping and fitting a gal. I accessorize with scarves, jewelry, turtlenecks, blouses. I wear with slacks and skirts. Three seasons a year at least one goes with me traveling – business or personal. I have so many favorite Linea purchases, but these animal jacquard jackets are at the top. Thank you Louis!
Please come back, miss you!
I second that……the Linea Forum is a nice place to visit with respectful Linea Ladies. There’s no nastiness like there use to be on the general forum.
Crazy in love with your raspberry Wk pieces!!! (My wardrobe is grounded in black, navy & white) But, I have to say the raspberry is a top favorite winter accent color along with lapis, petroleum blue and lime. Have the gorgeous wk cardigan sweater and matching shell in raspberry. Louis Here are my questions: 1) will A260034 the Body by Louis Dell’Olio Seamless Leggings in raspberry match/coordinate with the raspberry cardigan? 2) will we see any more raspberry wk pieces soon? 3) Lastly, petrol blue was unexpectedly smashing. I really like this color because it easily is a 4 seasons color. Requesting more petrol blue or a very close variant of this shade in the future. I have found these last few years my paintings & design choices are embracing colors. And, In these often sad and frightening times I push myself and reduce my black wardrobe selections and refuse to wear dreary colors.
Dear CC…..it was my intention for the raspberry legging to work with all of the raspberry WK pieces and they are great together if I say so myself. They are also avail in the new Hunter Green and for all my HG lovers there will be new HG WK pieces as well as some other surprises. If any of you own the faux Shetland HG sweater the legging will be great with that too……so get your size while they are avail. because as soon as I show them in an outfit they will go.
I so agree with CC! Every time I wear Petrol Blue I receive multiple compliments.
The Lapis Blue is just as beautiful. It’s avail in the WK TN and Jacqui is wearing it in the video.
Dear Louis,
Just received the new leisure hoodie–black with white stripe. It is unlike any “leisure” hoodies I have ever seen. Fits beautifully, flattering, lovely fabric, definitely a cut above any others. I will really enjoy wearing this. Thank you. I have already left my review.
Dear Barbara, I am so happy you like your black and white hoodie. I know you are going to enjoy all the compliments you get wearing it…..it really is a chic and sophisticated way to look all year long, a great winter, spring and summer leisure look!
Dear Louis,
Your “Multi-Color Pins” (J273587) arrived today. Oh my, I am experiencing the joy of looking upon beautiful objects. What colors you arranged in the “Purple” and the “Brown” options. Your talent overwhelms me. I regret that I did not buy them sooner so that I could have been enjoying their beauty all this while.
I am so glad you’re enjoying
them now.
Will there be any new ENR whisper knit pieces for autumn? May I also request a long (knee length) whisper knit simple topper — no pockets– clean lines. This fantasy longer WK topper of mine, just might also include a mixed fabric. Perhaps something inspired by A267878 Quilted Lightweight Jacket only longer. I just really want a long WK topper from Linea. I’m holding out for yours.
I am doing a long ENR open front cardigan/topper for February . It’s all WK. It does have patch pockets.
My heart is singing. Thank you. Will wait, not so patiently. Your pockets will be done well thinking about the colours you would choose for this very special sweater. Thank you very much!
A belated happy birthday Louis! We were away this past weekend. My blue/black eyelash top arrived today with the olive leggings. My order went through about 5 minutes after your show ended.
Louis, Have all colors except black really all sold out in A267878?
I have the black and alabaster and couldn’t wait to get more colors.
Please tell me that QVC is wrong…..
PS HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Dear Connie, I don’t know why QVC does that. The jacket hasn’t even been shipped yet so don’t worry. I haven’t even gotten my samples yet. no, you haven’t missed it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH…..
Just got the lace back sweater in celedon. Really nice. Someone suggested that you could reverse and wear the lace in front. I tried it and it is very pretty and comfortable that way as well. In fact I may even like it better. At any rate it’s a keeper!
LynnG
I wore the Lt Khaki sweater with lace in front Sat night with my Linea Lt. Khaki slim ankle pants with bone sling back heels and gold jewelry. It looked divine. I started with lace in back. I thought I would experiment and kept outfit with lace in front. Sweater and Linea pants matched perfectly.
Lynn, there’s nothing better than a two for one…..lace in the back for day….lace in the front for night!
Wishing you a very Happy and especially Healthy Birthday. Hoping that Jac is all better or if not, on the mend. Take care of each other.
A very Happy Birthday, Louis! Hope Jac is feeling better.
Enjoy your vacation.
Happy and health birthday. HAve a wonderful vacation!
Happy Birthday!
Hi Louis,
Happy Birthday! I hope you have a wonderful year. All the best to Jac.
Ruth
Happy Birthday fellow Leo! Wishing you a wonderful, healthy, happy and creative year ahead.I join with my fellow Linea sisters in giving you a big community hug. Can you feel the love? 🙂
I definitely do
Hi Louis
Happy Birthday!
My Lt Khaki lace back sweater arrived. It is a beauty. I ordered my usual Linea size. It was perfect.
I will be wearing it tonight with my Lt. Khaki slim ankle pants to a party with heels and jewelry. I have already
left a 5 Star review at QVC. What can I say – you designed another winner.
On another front I ordered the cinnamon version of your moss crepe pant and short sleeve shirt. Now I own all three of the colors of your
wonderful outfit. Besides being very flattering, I dress them up or down with accessories! I cannot tell you how much I love your moss crepe. I am going on a trip in August and my suitcase will be filled with your packable Linea.
Happy Birthday,
I sent wishes a few days ago but want to wish you a wonderful birthday today. Those Linea Ladies are always right on the ball, Hoping Jac is better and able to help you celebrate. My husband has a birthday on Monday.
Beryl
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOUIS!!
Hope it’s the best yet, with many more years of health, happiness and success to come!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Louis! Wishing you good health, much joy and increased opportunities to create. (Hoping Jac is feeling much better, too. Time for a vacay away from the boards and QVC.)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOUIS! Wishing you all the best. I’m sure you are enjoying your vacation which is so richly deserved.
Happy, Happy Birthday, Louis! I hope you are on a beach someplace enjoying your day!
Good morning. I hope Jac is feeling much better. Are you going to bring back more of A265615 in the navy or possibly brown? One more question, anymore Super Ponte Knit items? I love the super ponte knit pant and matching jacket (I’s a coat on me). I hope you and Jac enjoy the rest of the summer. Stay well.
Dear Louis,
Your “Lace-Back Sweaters” arrived, and they are so feminine and beautiful to look at. Soft to the touch and masterfully cut to flatter a woman’s figure, these tops are exceptional in every way. I cannot fathom why any are left to sell. I am simply thrilled!
Dear Goldie ….music to my ears. When I love something and it came out even better than I expected I am so happy that my HO is shared. I know you will,leave your reviews on the Linea site and Linea fashion forum. I think the fact that there was that problem during my show impacted the sale….and as they say when the feeling passes the moment is gone……..too bad because as you have found out it is a superb sweater.
Done, Louis! Anyone who misses out on this has lost any credibility as a Linea Lady. 🙂 In many ways, this sweater represents your classic Linea pedigree. I think when more folks realize how gorgeous this sweater is, it will fly out the door.
I also received my Linea Leisure tank in Aqua and the Zip-Front Hoodie in Aqua. You were right! They match the previous Aqua garments perfectly. L O O V E! Thank you for suggesting them to me.
Louis,
Got my new taupe and shebert Hoodie…LOVE LOVE LOVE…works with my taupe leisure.pants … Fits beautifully. Love The stripe and the design is so refiined…want to ask you include double zippers on all of your leisure items…a favorite off to order navy and aqua
Thank you! Hope Jac is feeling better💐💐
Dear Victoria 1, great to hear. If you would be so kind please leave your reviews on the l
Linea site and the Loinea QVC Forum……it is very helpful!
Louis, wanted to let you know that the lace back sweater can be worn both ways, at least how I will wear it. It is slightly higher in the back. Soft to the touch with a designer touch, and sleeve length is a little short but I like it that way to show off my jewelry and watches. It’s a winner!
It is a 3/4 sleeve for just that purpose to show off our jewelry
Dear Louis,
After having returned from a 2 week visit to my ailing mother in IL (so hot!) I discovered that my favorite piece from your jewelry line -the school of fish necklace had been broken. I receive more compliments and questions about this piece, than ANY in my “real’ collection. For years the deal my husband and I had was that I spent on jewelry was equivalent to what he spent for his 4 pack a day consumption of cigarettes (Ben Bridge Jewelers loved me). Fortunately he quit smoking in 2003-then the recession hit… Your accessories are wonderful and complement this school teacher’s wardrobe. I have never had a “costume” piece repaired, but I love this necklace so much….Is there an address to send this piece for repair?
Several years ago you wrote about one of your teachers in response to a question I submitted, and it was adorable. Times have changed, our youth are still amazing-in spite of so many negative portrayals in the media. Sorry I wrote so much, guess I must be missing school.
Thank you.
Dear Theresa….there is a place you can send it, but I am away for the next 2 weeks so I will give you the info when I return. Maybe one of the women who have the info can post it before then. There is a minimal charge for return postage and that’s it.
Theresa,
This is the information Louis posted when I needed jewelry repairs because I had scratched my gold single bar necklace. It was returned to me in perfect condition!
Repairs Department
C/O TCJC LLC
3B Industrial Drive
Smithfield, RI 02917
Enclose a check for $7.50 for the return shipping. Also enclose a brief letter stating you are a QVC Linea customer and you would like to have the pieces replated. Don’t forget to also include your name and return address in the letter. It will take some time, but so far anyone who has had anything repaired has been pleased with the result.
Good Luck,
Chris S.
Thank you so much for the information.
Dear Louis,
Are the reorder ponte pants in taupe similar in color to the taupe snap front hoodie? There is no color sample yet on the QVC website. Thanks!
I thought I heard you say the taupe TN would be available. Was the model wearing a sneak peak, or a vintage taupe TN?
Kate was wearing the one coming
Hi Louis I am so loving the taupe, I ordered the taupe ponte knit pants and cardigan but was wondering if you plan to also do a sleeveless TN or WK tank in the taupe color and maybe a WK skirt. The taupe is such a beautiful basic that looks nice with so many other colors.
Happy Birthday to a Leo.
Sorry I don’t remember the exact date but I know you join many Leo’s in my family celebrating their birthdays. I wish you a wonderful birthday and hope Jac is well enough to help you celebrate.
Beryl
Loved the shows, as usual. They are the best coordinated shows on the Q. I always look forward to them and the sneak peaks add to the excitement. I purchased the taupe and alabaster cardigans. What solid whisper knit tops coordinate with them? Can I also look forward to both the taupe and alabaster turtlenecks?
Sorry my name did not appear.
qvc has many colors of your boho skirt on line – when will the copper, ivory and ivy green be available to order.
Louis, as always, I loved your shows. I ordered the khaki lace back sweater the second I saw it with the gauchos. So chic. Now I’m wondering if the celadon works with the moss crepe pants in sage? I already have the pants, and would like a sweater to coordinate. Thanks! My best to Jac.
crdlb
Morning Carol….I checked and I think the two greens look pretty together.
Louis, I bought the black and alabaster crepe pants and have to have
them hemmed. What is the rule…l/2 way down the shoe heel??? help.
Thank you for all the lovely garments.
Dear Louis,
I too ran to get customer service on the phone about my orders.
I want the moss crepe skirt to match, but it really is far too short for me at my height.
What, when and will there be skirts that are longer? I know you have said that the buyers don’t pick them. With the bootie styles of footwear shown, a longer length would be a pretty way to offset them.
Here’s hoping…
Debra
I thought you should know, I ordered 8 pcs yesterday from the show. They took the orders manually and when the system came back, 112 hrs or so later, all of my orders were put into the computer.I was not happy but I got them. I’m sure plenty of people put there orders through that way if they pushed customer service. I hope Jac is a little better today. Day by day. Stay well.
Hi Louis,
I was wondering if your Whisper Knit Short Sleeve Sweater with the silver buttons in raspberry is going to be re-ordered item #A265575. It is so pretty.
Thank you,
Susan
Louis- Loved your show-as always- purchased several things. But it didn’t
seem the same without Jac! Sure hope she is feeling 100% better today. I know
all the Linea ladies wish her a speedy recovery.
Hi Louis
Your show was lovely yesterday. Because of your wonderful sneak peaks, I was able to purchase my choices prior to your first show of the day. I also thought something was odd during your second show. When the lace back sweater and alabaster swing sweater did not sell out in seconds, I also was surprised.
I hope your lovely Jac is feeling better. Thank you Louis for all of your lovely clothing.
Dear Joanne….I guess by now you have read my most recent post about the systems failure during my show. Though it has not been confirmed…..I’m pretty sure it had to do with the severe strom that was passing through….Can fool around with Mother Nature….couldn’t she have waited an hour or two….LOL
LDO–I bought this sweater from the Nordstrom sale, and while the style is fantastically flattering and fresh/feminine, the fabric is not all that great. I immediately thought, if this were in whisper knit it would be amazing. You’re an artist and not a copier so I understand if you’re not interested in a style like this, but I thought I’d share it with you anyway! Nothing like a subtle touch of ruffle to make a girl feel happy!
http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/chelsea28-ruffle-hem-sweater/4251937?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&fashioncolor=BURGUNDY%20STEM
Kate,
Interesting, but dont need ruffles on my bum..but am sure others wont have that problem☺️
Louis,
QVC Had a computer glitch. I watched and ordered from your 2am show yesterday, and that order was fine. I had an emergency and missed the 5pm…sure I had missed out on new items, but checked at 6:30 pm, was surprised there were still lace sweaters left, I ordered from your 5pm show goodies. I awaken this morning to find (30) duplicates of my order confirmation. Scared me…but just original orders were charged…so clearly the computer system is having problems. Hoped they weren’t hacked😳
So sorry to hear that Jac isn’t feeling well. I missed the show, but watched videos later. Gorgeous taupe outfit! That was really a wow. I
bought the taupe cardigan, along with the raspberry which is such a luscious color. I can’t wait for the taupe turtleneck. Quick question – will slim leg pants be coming in taupe?
Dear Louis,
What skirt did you pair with the navy lace-backed sweater? Would the moss crepe skirt work? It is the only skirt I have of yours in navy; I wish there were more options. The only navy wk skirt you’ve offered (of which I am aware) sold out before I discovered your clothes.
Thank you.
Dear Rochelle….it’s your lucky day…..the navy moss crepe skirt is exactly what Angela was wearing
As usual your show was wonderful! Fortunately I placed my orders post midnight and taped the shows because I knew I wouldn’t be home. I wasn’t caught up with the unfortunate computer mayhem that occurred during the show.I was blown away by Kate and how chic and sophisticated her ensemble was. I will definitely order the turtleneck when the taupe becomes available, but will there be any taupe shells to coordinate with the sweater and slacks? I hope so. I have the alabaster short sleeve top and I am looking forward to receiving the alabaster cardigan. I hope Jac is feeling better. She was definitely missed today.
1Jac….ther aren’t any other Taupe Wk sweaters planned for this season, but if it proves to be a successful color I will surely do others in the future.
Your Taupe shade is gorgeous! I am tempted, and it is not one of my typical go-to choices.
Louis,
Am not sure if you were aware that there were some major issues with Q’s ‘System’ – and Customers were unable to place their Orders either on-line or by phone (Customer Service). For more details – there was a live chat during your Show on the Linea Community Forum – you can read the comments. Just thought you should know.
This began at least 15 minutes prior to the show and lasted for the ENTIRE show for most of us. Very frustrating.
I was livid! Really, my mind was racing again as to why this monkey business was going on during your show.
I think it had something to do with the storm that passed through just 15 minutes before my show, but I m not sure
A faux suede jacket? Swoon!! Will you tell what colors pretty please? Thank you.
Louis, Loved, loved, loved the sneak peek of the faux suede jacket! Great style for me and great color. Looking forward to it!
Ah yes….I have some wonderful sneak peek pics of the jacket, but it won’t be on until my Aug show so you will have to be,patient. What I will divulge is….it will be avail in FOUR colors!
Hi Louis
Just received the Peacock ombre top. I’m loving the pink and turquoise also, but am wondering if this top will “keep going”, as in other colors. I am upset with myself for missing out on the red or flame. Loving the fit, fabric of this top. Hoping at some time there will be more.
I think it will be reordered…..I’m ready for color suggestions……More brights like the flame or more subtle like the two new ones. I was thinking of Ivory into Alabaster into grey and Black at the bottom?
Ivory, alabaster, gray, black sounds divine! Those colors would fit right into my wardrobe. Maybe also something having to do with ivory, camel, chocolate?
It would be one or the other…..they would think they are too close.
Then I would vote for your first suggestion of ivory, alabaster, gray, black!
I’m for the ivory, alabaster, gray, and black. Wow!!
I would love (for Spring) a lime green to an olive green border, maybe an electric yellow to a taupie color, a bright lavender to a dark plum. A hethered white to a black.
So glad to hear they are not going away!
Watching the show. Missing your beautiful wife and then you said she was not feeling great. Please send her my best and I hope she feels better REAL soon. It’s not the same without Jac!
Good morning Louis. I watched your 2am show and ordered A267866 ( knit jacket) and the matching turtleneck. Would you please tell me the item number of the pant thatt Chantal was wearing that had a riding seam? The CS rep couldn’t find it. Thanks and have a great show this afternoon. As always, I’ll be watching and ordering. Thanks.
Thanks Louis. I found the pant but unfortunately the xxs is sold out in the blue and the black.
FYI – the Hoodie A273297 has been posted on Q – available for ordering.
Just ordered my black one!! Yahoo!!!
Hello Louis,
Will the new lace back sweater in Lt. Khaki work very well with the A26515 pull-on slim ankle pants in Pale Khaki? Thank you.
Barbara
Dear Barbara…..yes the sweater , the slim pant, the gaucho and the moss crepe top are all the same color.
GREAT NEWS! My ALL TIME Favourite Pants are back in Stock A268216 – Black, Grey and Taupe (New Colour)! I have one pair in Black – and they are Fabulous! I have commented about these before – no shrinking – no pilling – seams are all intact – after many, many washes – they look like new. They wear like iron – but look as great as if you had paid $200 for them (they are $57). Have just ordered 4 more pairs! There are 27 Reviews – ALL 5 Star! Don’t hesitate – if they are presented during the Shows this Monday – they will likely be gone soon.
Received the blue snap-front hoodie and am so very happy. Naturally it goes with so many other colors and looks fantastic on, whether open or snapped up. I especially like the fabric and would love to see more offerings in tops. Thanks for the extra LDO touches in this jacket.
Dear P.C. since there are mostly favorable reviews on the fabric [the reviews are IMPORTANT, the buyers read them]I am planning on using this fabric in the future.
By the way, thought you might enjoy seeing a $400 (regular price) version of your hooded blazer: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bailey-44-hooded-ponte-knit-jacket/4329625?origin=category-personalizedsort&fashionsize=Regular%20M%20(8-10)&fashioncolor=BLACK
WOW….that’s very interesting. I remember when I did it there were comments “a hood on a blazer?”
I know. It’s a line-for-line dead ringer for yours. You’re rep as a style setter, not follower, is well-deserved! I also spotted hose similar to what you offered us two season-back (lace-back and full lace) in the $40.00 per pair range.
My manufacturer could have made them? Where did you see them?
They’re new this season at Nordstrom; marked down for the Anniversary sale, but back up at $400.00 in August. The brand is Bailey44
sorry, you meant the hose…I saw them at Nordstrom. Wolford, Oroblu, and Cavallini–ranging from 65.00 to $40.00
True genius ALWAYS reveals itself. Louis, you are unmatched.
Goldie….
As you know Aqua tops are rare so I highly recommend this new Aqua top. It matches the Aqua WK so it will match the Aqua Boho as well as the Linea Leisure solid hoodie, which to my amazement is still avail considering in it was many women’s favorite color. It’s so pretty.
Yes, we must gather our Linea rosebuds (or, as in this case, aquabuds) while we may. You are a Pied Piper. But your Aqua is a deeply beautiful color.
Kate, thank you for bringing interesting information to us regarding Louis’s uncanny knack for producing and offering his Linea Ladies top-of-the-line designs at affordable prices. You do this often, and I, for one, always am thrilled by these revelations. Seka has also directed us to valuable info of this sort. Thank you, Seka!
Goldie76 – I always enjoy comparing my Linea to other Brands that cost so much more – and also enjoy people’s reactions to my Linea outfits. Last weekend I attended a Celebration of Life Service for my Best Friend’s Husband – we were asked to wear Blue and Orange (his favourite Sports Team’s colours) – I wore the Slate Blue Gaucho Pants – and Tunic A273862 – with the Tangerine Seedbed Necklace J329589 (LOVE) and Wire Cuff in Matte Gold (J329557). So many compliments! Many ladies thought I was wearing Eileen Fisher – and I am lucky that I got home with my Necklace and Cuff. You cannot beat the Design, Quality and Value of Linea.
What a smashing outfit you wore to the Celebration of Life, Seka! I love both garments (but they would not love me back). Whenever you bring your discoveries of what we pay for Linea as opposed to a similar look from a more expensive house of fashion, I am always delighted.
Louis is a phenomenon. How he can roll with the pressures of changing times in fashion, satisfying QVC and last — but certainly not least — please us, is remarkable. His ability to stay afloat and vital speaks to his resilience, creativity and talent.
I hope he does not plan to retire for a few more years because, despite the evolving fashions, I will find something I love in each collection.
Was your BF’s DH a Mets baseball fan, Seka? Those are the team colors.
Chris/Jazzmom – Her Husband was a Miami Dolphins Super Fan. The Mets colours are more the Blue that I wore – but my BF didn’t want everyone to have to go buy a Dolphins T shirt – so just asked guests to wear Blue and Orange. Almost all of the 150 in attendance dressed accordingly – and there was a sea of Blue and Orange. It was a very special day.
Just returned from church and lunch out with a friend. Had, at a minimum, five compliments on the vintage tile skirt with the aqua background, which I wore with the aqua Whisper Knit sweaters (short-sleeve V-neck and cardigan, which was needed today in a highly air-conditioned church). Heard several remarks prefaced with an in-awe gasp of “What a beautiful color!” I said to one woman, “It is Linea by Louis Dell’Olio. QVC.” I better go get the tank that just appeared online.
Oops, something just nudged my consciousness and asked if I was certain the short-sleeve WK sweater was a V-neck. Went and checked. That sweater has a scooped neck. I had it covered with a gold and turquoise necklace, so I was not that aware of it.
Hey, any new jewelry coming this in July or August?
Yes……a new necklace in July and August….when they get delivered I’ll post. One should be avail soon. My mistake….it’s August, Sept and Oct for new pieces.
Hi Louis,
I have a question about your moss crepe skirt A 262454. I always regretted that I waited too long to purchase it in black. For the longest time only the magenta color was available.Suddenly without warning or fanfare I see that all sizes and colors are available.Happily my black skirt has shipped and I will be receiving it shortly.What happened? Was it a quiet reorder?
The matching peplum top seems to be sold out. Will that be back?
No that was not reordered…..didn’t make the cut.
But, it’s sold out. And at full price. I would love to get a look at the equation they use to determine reorders.
I believe it’s about returns, and how many are sold during original presentation. It doesn’t matter if it eventually sells out even at full price. I also think the cost of handling on returns is a factor…
It was not reordered so I don’t know where they came from?
Hi Louis
I am looking forward to your fall collection. I intend to purchase two new trenches black/black as well as khaki/black. When do you think they will be offered this fall?
On another front I am enjoying all of my moss crepe outfits: I own last years A273872 V neck top and A273877 in black, Moss Crepe A273872 Shirt and A273877 pants in sage and navy and also your 3/4 sleeve Moss Crepe topsA273862 in black as well as Lt. Tan. They have been traveling with me all summer. I hope you will bring back that fabric next summer also. Thanks
Joanne they are slotted for Sept. I would love to bring it back, but so far it hasn’t done stellar. Why it hasn’t done better I don’t know. I thought the pant would be a slam dunk, and with the matching top it takes 10 lbs off immediately.For me its’ lack of support is as mysterious as the Feather Jersey.
I bought all three colors of the moss crepe skirt. They are my go to for summer, casual or dressy doesn’t matter. I wear the magenta with your Linea Leisure cotton v neck tee. Perfect match. These skirts and two flowy tops are the only things I am wearing not natural fiber this summer. BTW,I love my new short sleeve pants and tee, they are in my other closet for back to school!

It is surprising about the Moss Crepe items. I am picky about clothing. I either wear Linea or Armani. I think my Moss Crepe items are fabulous. They are so versatile. You can make them casual, dressy or professional. You are right about the moss crepe pants and matching pants – so slimming!
Louis , the new raspberry and navy hoodie is striking and cheerful. For my coloring the “true colors” are much more flattering. I do enjoy the neutral colors on other people but, I have to reserve those colors for decorating. I have saved money the last few years because so many of the fashion designers had gone with the neutral pallet. I’m ready for some rich jewel toned colors. I hope your future designs will have some deep saturated colors.
I, too, yearn for those Ruby, Malachite and Sapphire days. Heck, I am thrilled with Burgundy! Deep colors are my best friend, too.
As I recall, there is a Crimson skirt coming up? Will “Miss Skirt” have a luscious Crimson sweater to accompany her?
Yes….a few choices
I think you’ll be happy with the fall line-up
You always break my banking in the Fall/Winter. But of course, the Seed Bead Necklace and Egyptian Necklace were devastating in their own right this past Summer.
Dear Louis,
When will the “Lace Back Sweater” (A273301) be available? For Monday’s shows? Thank you.
Yes….the 5pm show
Hurray and hallelujah!
Thanks for telling us when the lace back sweater will be available. This is definitely an item that will need to be ordered prior to air time. Thank you.
Good Morning,
Is the leisure shell/tank which was just posted the original leisure shell? It will help to know when deciding what size to order.
Thank you!
It is very similar, but not the same. The first had bust darts, this new one has princess seams. You should compare the measurements to the one you have. I would say they fit about the same.
FYI – The printed Skort A279518 and Linea Leisure Tank A273298 are posted and available for ordering on Q.
Remember what I said about the fact that it’s lined and not a stretch fabric. If the Alabaster pant fit OK then order the same size in the skort….HOWEVER…..if you found the Alabaster crepe gauze pant was small then order the skort one size up.
