Hi Louis, it’s been a minute since I posted over here but I’ve been shopping behind the scenes so to speak. I added the grey cardigan and WK top, sapphire pants and WK top, the russian gold/white cord and matching bracelet just shipped and to come home last night and have my copper rolling bangle waiting was the ultimate surprise. Your copper pieces have become my new favorite color that is not seen everywhere. I passed on the last order because I knew I would need at least a size 8 so I ordered the copper first to make sure they fit and they are perfecto and so substantial; I can’t believe they are only $40. I kept them on while I ate dinner LOL. I’ve already ordered the silver, shiny black and gold and the copper tassel necklace. Everything is beautifully done.
Hi, Louis! I’m looking closely at the rolling bangles. I have no concerns about my scrawny 6″ wrist in ordering the Small, but I am wondering if the interior circumference is the same as the recommended wrist size of 6 3/4 inches. I’m in a quandary. Due to years and years of horseback riding, my hands have spread and I now wear a size 7 glove rather than my earlier size 6. Can you give me guidance on this? Thanks so much! Barbara
Dear Barbara, I wish I could, but I too am not sure what you should do. Maybe you should get a sm and a reg. and see which fits and send the other back as a wrong size??
Sheesh wrote on the qvc blog (Rolling Bangle Bracelet Review): OK, I measured my Small. It’s not easy to measure! I put the bracelet on a piece of white paper and took a pen and followed the inside circumference of the bracelet in a circle, then I measured it multiple times. It’s 7-1/2″. My hand measures 7-3/4 at it’s widest and it is an easy slide on for me, as the flesh is somewhat flexible. Hope that helps.
Hi Louis
The QVC program guide shows you have a Clearance Linea Show this Friday morning February 15, 2019 on QVC 1 from 6:00 am to 7:00 am.EST. My Comcast DVR also automatically records your QVC 1 shows. They show a recording for me at that time. Is this a mistake?
Thanks
No, this isn’t a mistake. There will be 6 EZ pays and some brand new things are already on clearance!? It surprised me? Jennifer will be hosting this show.
Louis, since the wildflower skirt in sapphire is available now, when will the matching peasant blouse be available ?
Dear Tylerpoo the peasant blouse is scheduled along with the skirt….but since the skirt is a reorder they posted it early.
I just had to write. When I received the three fish necklaces I had ordered – the white, green and red – I loved them so much I had to order the blue and the yellow. Then, when I saw the tee shirts with the “studs” on the shoulders, I felt compelled to buy four more, though I already have every color. I adore those tee shirts – and can’t wait for the new necklace that you showed that will complement them. You are the best, Louis.
Hi Louis
Program Guide say you have a show at 5
If it was Q2 it’s probably a repeat.
Hi Louis,
I have been a customer for some years now and love your designs. I own a gold and sage jacket with the zipper that goes around the collar and all the way down the jacket. I recently wore it and the bottom of the zipper broke and I lost the pull with the whole zipper. Wishing to replace this piece and hoping you could help me. I tried to paste a picture of it here but not having luck.
Please contact me and hoping to resolve this issue. I love the jacket so much.
Thank you.
Love your new collection.
Jean….I don’t recall this jacket. What is the style number?
Hi Jean and Louis, I think this may be A213327 from 2011.
Jane. J
You are right. Thanks for your help.
A213327 from 2011 is correct. it is a beautiful jacket and I’m so sad.
Louis, Hope you can help me.
Thank you.
Dear Jean…..I looked up the jacket by the style number and yes, I remember the jacket. Since the zipper on the lapel and down the front was just ornamental and not functional which zipper are you talking about? on the sleeve or on the pocket? Do you want a totally new zipper? What color is the zipper? Gold, Antique Gold or Brass?
I just checked my two jackets in this style and, as Louis said, there is no pull on the zipper as it is ornamental only and the single zipper goes from the bottom front of one side all the way up and around the lapels and collar and down the front of the other side–it does not zip up. The jacket fastens with metal antique gold domed buttons.
Dear Louis…You know, I guess I never realized that it didn’t zip. I did however, have a zipper at the bottom that did fall off. not on the sleeve or pocket. I have those zippers. but there was a zipper pull that went all the way down.I was showing it off to my friends and they were admiring it. I had one woman try it on. Later, I noticed the ornamental single zipper was gone. I trust Sheesh’s color choice since she has the jacket also. Metal antique gold. Thanks for any help.
Jean, there is no ornamental zipper pull on the vertical zipper trim. There are small rectangular zipper pulls on the horizontal zippers on the pockets.
You are correct Shelia, there was no zipper pull at the bottom of the jackets. If you search the style number on QVC it shows the jacket very clearly and there was no pull so I’m not sure what Jean is looking for?
Ok Louis and Sheesh,
Glad you solved the mystery. I guess I was looking and stressing for something that wasn’t there. Sorry for your trouble, Love the jacket and all the girls wanted it. But it’s mine.
That is a fabulous jacket. I can see why you like it. I like a shorter, fitted jacket and I still like the look of the zippers on clothing.
Can we expect any new Linea Leisure hoodies or jackets on the horizon to coordinate with the Leisure knit pants?
Also, tell your web design person that the top menu has overwritten the archive drop down list on the right side of the page in white font, making it invisible and impossible to click on archive list.
Dear Maureen, there are no hoodies coming in the near future……I’m not sure if I understand what you’re saying about the “top menus overwritten the archive drop down list”? This is not something I use so I don’t even know where it is????
The archives is on the right hand side of this page under Posts. In the past you were able to click the down arrow of the achives and pull up all previous sneak peeks and it went back for a few years.
The posts section only allows a set number of posts. So after that limit of
posts is reached you can no longer see the older posts. In the past they all moved to archives where we could search older posts and past sneak peeks.
Hi, Louis. The A302604 Wild Flower Skirt with Ruffles is back in stock in Sapphire! Wasn’t expecting that. What other surprises do you have for us in Sapphire?
There is also a new peasant type blouse to replace the cold shoulder version. Even thought the cold shoulder blouse did well….cold shoulder blouses slowed down so they didn’t want to invest in it again even thought it could have been reordered……so it’s similar without the shoulder exposure.
Hi Louis
I just watched your video on facebook- very fun. I fell asleep too, but set my alarm for the show.
I’m hoping Angela is well, and I was glad it worked out fine last night with Sam.
I had a question regarding Jennifer’s size pant she had on in the ponte suit. I was wondering if she sized up?I know she usually wears xxs, so was curious on size she chose for the numberically sized pant.
Some nice sneak peeks on upcoming jewelry last night too!!!
I’ve enjoyed seeing all of Jennifer’s looks mixing all of the new clothing and jewelry.
Yesterday I wore the WN dress in black, the black short leather jacket, Carnival necklace black(thanks Sheila) and silver clips from the earring set(black boots too).Anyway lots of compliments on my look- friend even said I looked Chic and I can assure you they were not using that description for my look pre- Linea.
Sarah
Dear Louis,
Enjoyed your show and love the new voodoo necklace set! Also, I’m trying to access your archives here, but the link doesn’t work. Thanks, and I’m looking forward to your show on Monday!
What a fun show late last night. Loved your jewelry—
The beads and the Tangiers set, gorgeous with the striped shirt and georgette
Teal peasant blouse.
EVERYTHING looked perfect!!!
I would really appreciate a return of style A219799, the python print faux wrap top. Please don’t change a THING about the style or cut. A palette of muted digital camos, brushstroke, or heathered tiny checks would be nice. I’m just not a fan of the technicolor floral prints and boxy, blousy, embellished styles.
I wear that top in the olive all the time. If my suitcase is open, that top is in it! The fabric does not cling and it has a soft matte finish. Also, the wrap design is slimming and flattering. It seems we have little trouble getting hard to score reservations and good tables when I am wearing Linea!
.
I also love the faux wrap knit tops and have them in all the colors, including a spare of the green top. I would love a return visit of that too in New abstract prints.
Hi Louis
I have many pieces of your fabulous jewelry. I really wanted the Tangiers set, but having a big chest, I know the necklace would not be flattering, even though the earrings alone are fabulous.. Is there anyway you would consider doing the earrings separately, either the same or similar style? I would purchase every color.
You did again, Louis. I took delivery of a big fish order yesterday and I could not be happier. The finish on the fantasy fish is so velvety. I would love to see these come back in your fiesta colors! Ladies, do not let these escape your nets!
Dear Louis
Would you know if the matching braclet to J360767 is coming at a later date or are we just waiting for QCV to post them? I am so looking forward to the fresh White for vacation. Looking forward to the shows.
Thank you
I’m waiting for J360770 – the Bracelet with the Black cord and Silver beads – that matches my Necklace that shipped long ago!
Seka.
Years ago you made the most beautiful coats with embroidery. Actually there were a couple of different styles. Of course I have them in every color you made. Will you be doing anything similar for the fall?
Dear Rosemary……take really good care of those jackets!!!!!LOL. If you are referring to the boucle jackets with the beautiful embroidery….yes I remember them all well. I have them in storage and have not given them away. Unfortunately, I can not do jackets like that for QVC anymore. They would be more than double the price.Some were covered with emb, and the famous topper had the roses and dripping wisteria……As I said take good care of them. They are collectors items!
Dear Louis,
I purchased both the navy and white suits last month and they are fabulous! For me, it is the best fitting pant you have ever made. Will you be making any more pants in that silhouette? Thank you. Barbara C.
Dear Barbara…..they were off to a soft sell, even though the blazer did very well, so it’s really up in the air. There are other pants that have sold much better.
Hi Louis
I had a thought that you and Jennifer may want to let the ladies know that the
A302601
Linea by Louis Dell’Olio Regular Ponte Crop Pants
and
A262072
Linea Leisure by Louis Dell’Olio Petite Knit Pull-On Pants
seem to have been restocked-
I only came across by fluke since in the past I had searched several times and they were depleted.
Good News for all…
Sarah
Thank you Sarah. The crop pant is scripted on the 10:00am show this coming Monday, but the Leisure pant is not so I definitely will post about it!
Louis Dell’Olio
Is the black with white polka-dot jacket with lace featured with your windowpane crop pants in Q Graphic Impact promo yours? I can’t find it listed anywhere.
Dear Gloria…..it is not mine. I did mention to my buyer that neither the pant nor the sweater were listed…..typical……I told her how is anyone going to know where to go to buy the pieces they so beautifully photographed if they aren’t listed. The photo was taken down before she could answer me!
Thank you for your quick response….Looks like when they use a fashion piece in a promo there would be a place to list the designer ie.like a footnote… If I were the designer, I would want to be given the immediate credit. When I have time, I guess I will continue to search.
Gloria, the sweater is Isaac Mizrahi’s but the top underneath is Louis’ A347453 in white with black lace trim. They pushed the sleeves of the sweater up so that the lace trim on the top would show through. The windowpane pants were Joan Rivers but Louis’ windowpane pants with the lace trim would look even better. It’s very pretty in the picture but I don’t know how comfortable it would be with the sleeves of the sweater pushed up and the bell sleeve of the top pulled to peek through.
Dear Somersault, actually the pants are mine and you can see the lace bottom in some of the photos. My buyer sent the photo to me to see the pant in case I didn’t see it on the QVC site.
Thanks, Louis! The picture was cropped on the website and it listed the other pants. When I first saw it, I thought it was yours! So happy they chose yours and sent you the full picture. Thank you!
Hi Louis loving the new knit top with the lace trim hope it sells well to get a reorder since I would love it in your sapphire and a navy with white to go with white jeans. Fingers crossed Well had to put my two cents in Thank you for all your classic classy items
I received the Tangiers in silver and Venetian necklace in ice .. Tangier’s is over the roof gorgeous and Venetian is a good everyday necklace. So light in weight yet making a statement. And love love all the new spring pieces. Got multiples of everything, esp the ivory blazer and pant. Superb! Eager to get the fish yet. Also got the pink and mint multi bead necklaces – can’t wait to see what they were designed for.
I happened to see that the boho skirt is coming back and in new colors – fuschia, orchid.. oh my my.. love the brights .. I missed on all the brights coz o didn’t know about lines two years ago!! Have all the neutral colors though. Are they for spring or summer?
Dear Pratt….where did you see that the Boho skirt was coming back in fuchsia and orchid? Unfortunately that is not true, and there are no new colors listed on the Linea site, because no new colors were ordered. The selling on the boho skirt has slowed down, and I’m afraid they will not be reordering the skirt anymore.
Oh no!! When I open up the skirt in qvc app on my phone, I see fuchsia, boysenberrry, paprika and rhubarb listed but crossed out meaning yet to be available. That’s how I usually see items that are yet to come. I wish I could attach a screenshot here but I don’t think I can. Are they old colors then? Sorry orchid was wrongly mentioned in my previous message.
I’ve done so many colors in this skirt I don’t remember those names?????
Louis, you did not do those colors in the Boho; your memory is not faulty.
Sheila
So love the stripe shirt!! It is so “me”, thank you Mr. D. My stalking begins again..
I got my white “Fantasy Fish” in the mail last week. Looking forward to wearing with spring/summer things. I love the striped shirt that you are showing on the blog–perfect colors.
Louis!
Your window pane crops are featured on the Q : https://www.qvc.com/content/fashion/graphic-impact.html
Thanks Dawn, my buyer sent me the picture, and I thought it looked cute as heck….even though the polka dot sweater wasn’t mine….LOL
Hi Louis!
I stumbled upon the info after reading the Q’s fashion forum. I might have made a recent comment about a ruffled front sleeveless polka dot (blk/white) that I own and was going to pull out to use with the newest blazer. The newest ruffled blouse had made me think about it. I think it would go well with the WP crops and a shrug or topper over the blouse similar to the Q’s rendition.
Thanks for all you do!
Dawn
Hi Louis!
Just wanted to let you know how glad I am that you did not use a shiny gold or Russian gold chain on the new pearl clear necklace.
I saw your recommendation for the Red necklace with the floral top. I must behave myself but that necklace is in my long list. In between it’ll have to be the long black/fireball necklace from Holiday ’18.
Thanks for all you do!
Dawn
DAWN….that works great too. I didn’t know you already owned it!
Louis,
I may try the faceted station (Ruby?) that you designed for the floral shadow blouse too!
Dawn
Hi, Louis. Now that I am your “unofficial assistant designer” after the success of the Silver “Sheila” Carnival necklace (LOL), may I suggest another jewelry item for you to consider? If the reorder of the Rolling Bracelets go well, why not a tri-tone version (a la Cartier) in two colorways: Gold/Silver/Copper; Gold/Silver/Gunmetal. I would definitely buy one of each!
Sheila
Sheese,
I was thinking about a tri-color bracelet just in the last 2 weeks. Would love to see Louis create your first request.
Dawn
GREAT idea, Sheesh!
Shelia, Shelia Shelia…..great minds think alike…..if the roller does well then that’s exactly what I will do next. I was even thinking about doing some in diamond cut so they sparkle…..How do you like that????
Fantastic, Louis. I think that the shiny bangles don’t need diamond cutting and personally I’d save the manufacturing cost, but you decide. Perhaps the diamond cutting on the Copper Ox pieces (on the Gold/Silver/Copper Ox) and diamond cutting on Silver Ox pieces (on Gold/Silver/Gunmetal). So each “set” would have shiny and diamond cut “matte” pieces together–but I wouldn’t add the cost unless it “shows up”. You’ll know when you play around with your samples. It’s all about the creative process, right? But I do very much like the idea of shiny and diamond cut “Ox” pieces together. Surprise us—we always love what you do! Now you need another 1 hour jewelry show so the roller sells out and you can reorder the multi-color batch!
Sheila
Yesssssssssssss!!! And there are SO many different
Options for diamond cutting to give it different feelings,
Free form , geometric!!!
Sorry to “cut in”.
I just got excited .😍
You read my mind, Sheila, and, apparently, Louis’s, lol. I already have both the gold and black, but would LOVE a g/s/c. Boy, would THAT fill a lot of needs!
Hi, Louis. Is the Gold Rolling Bracelet in Shiny Gold or Russian Gold? I ordered 3 of the Smalls in Gold, Silver and Black.
Also, received the Gold Flower Power Necklace Set and it is great! I wrote a stellar review. Thanks.
Sheila
One more question: is the silver shiny or silver ox in these bracelets?
They are Shiny…not silver Ox. It would definitely say silver ox in the description.
Sheesh they are shiny gold as the first shipment.
Oh, thank you Louis, that makes me very happy and I am excited to get my 3 shiny bracelets!
Sheila
Louis,
I called the Q again, and placed my order for the Black and the Goldtone – the Customer Service Rep. assured me there was no issue – I received my confirmation.
I don’t know what went wrong with my first attempt to order. All is ok.
Seka.
Louis, will there be new items in your shows for 2/10&11? Just trying to plan my jewelry buying spree. Also, for those in So Cal, I didn’t have any trouble ordering the gold, black and copper ox rolling bangles. I usually get a message that won’t let the order be placed if there’s a problem shipping.
Carol, I will know when I get the scrip for the show,
Louis, I just tried to order the Rolling Bangle Bracelets. My Orders first have to ship to Southern California. These Bracelets cannot be shipped to California – if you recall this occurred last year with some Linea items. The Q could not enter my order.
Just making you aware.
Seka.
FYI – All the Rolling Bracelets are now posted on the Q!
Seka.
I am asking to confirm the colors as the Q is listing the black as black instead of shiny black. The other is the goldtone which according to my notes was to be the Russian gold. Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Chris
Black is shiny black. I ‘ll check on gold
Have the rolling bangles been shown as a sneak peek with a piece of clothing?
Have we seen them anywhere?

Here’s the video from the presentation of the original Rolling Bracelets. The only colour you won’t see is the Copper Ox as it’s a new colour.
Seka.
Seka,
The Copper Ox was sneek peeked. Can’t remember who was wearing it or the item presented.
Dawn
Seka,
The Copper Ox bracelet is worn by the blonde haired model Maria during the presentation of A306339 Linea by Louis Dell’Olio Short Sleeve Swing Top. HTH
Dawn
Dawn, Thank you! Just watched the video – the Copper Ox with the Black looks fantastic!
Seka.
Thank you, Seka.
I tried clicking on Archives to select the month, yesterday & it’s only showing an archived Important Dates from 2014.
Regards,
Chris
Thank you so much for making more clip earrings. I have never had my ears pierced, and have suffered through times when there were not a lot of choices. Thankfully, it is easier now, and I am especially happy to have some from you to go with my other Linea jewelry.
Yesterday, when I tried to get on this website, a notice came up saying your site was “suspended”, with no further information. Happily, today it came up with no trouble, but I was worried I might not be able to see pictures and information of upcoming things. And also not be able to know when items can be ordered ahead of showing, or when they are not shown on air. Fortunately, I think it was a fluke.
It was actually my fault. My “Host” provider was sending reminder bills to my old e-mail address and I didn’t see them. I was as surprised as you. One phone call and a credit card update solved the problem in seconds.
hi Louis
Maybe I missed it but what is
Linea by Louis Dell’Olio Venetian Necklace Set?
thx
Sarah
Dear Sarah…..it’s either a drought or a deluge. First they post nothing, then they post TOO MUCH. This is a beautiful necklace that should not have been posted until next month when the coordinating clothes are due. You haven’t missed it! I haven’t even taken pictures of it yet.
Louis, And the Q still hasn’t posted J360770 the ‘Organic’ black corded multi bead Bracelet in silver & Russian gold. My Necklace has already shipped, now just waiting for this matching Bracelet to get posted!
Seka.
Dear Louis,
My housekeeper was absolutely thrilled that you were able to find her a belt to her red coat! She wore it to church last Sunday and received all sorts of complements. She asked me to pass on her heartfelt thanks. You helped make her feel very special.
You are a dear person to me, and I adore all your creations! Thanks so much!
Love,
Susan
Dear Susan I am so happy you received the belt, and I am thrilled it made her happy. She must have felt like a proud peacock walking into her church in her new red coat!
Flower power necklace J390567 up for ordering on the Q
The new jewelry is FINALLY posted!!!
Dear Louis, I too ordered the 4-earring pierced set and received the clip version. They were returned, and went on the waist-list since the pierce was no longer available. My wait-list for the pierced was recently cancelled by QVC, and now I read they will be coming back to fill the wait list. Waitlist is no longer open. What do you suggest. I really want the set.
The exact same thing happened to me. Hope they come back!
Dear Lorraine, I’m surprised it was canceled since wait list orders were supposed to be placed. They have ordered the wait list and extras so when they are back you can order. I’ll find out when they are due.
Lorraine…..I have been told that the earring will ship to QVC on 3/27 so they should be avail within the first two weeks of April.
I love that set of 4 earrings they go with so many outfits especially the black or copper thanks Louis for coming up with these ,waiting for the smaller size rolling bracelets
Will there be in the future, matching earrings created to go with the numerous ‘Carnival’ necklaces?
No special earring, I show the hoop from the set of four
Will the set of four earrings be reordered? I ordered the pierced and received the clips. Pierced was sold out by the time mine arrived and never came back into stock.
JBCinSD, yes they are coming back in pierced only…..but just to fill wait list and a few extra so as soon as you see them get what you want.
Yeah. My order never arrived for the pierce. I was so bummed.
Hi,
I have the plum, black/silver(Sheila), and turquoise carnival necklaces.
I wear the earrings (clip)from the sets of 4 Louis did last year.
I match to the tube color-they have been working very well with lots of compliments.
Just ordered the new black/gold necklace that was posted.
Everything is so beautiful!!!
I’m waiting to buy the necklace that coordinates with the QVC big deal until I see that one on a person or mannequin.
Louis- thanks for all of the beautiful clothes and jewelry.
Sarah
New Linea jewelry has posted! Fantasy Fish J360756; Nested Bead Set J361088; Tortue Bead Set J361087; Bead Black Cord Set J360768; Bead White Cord Set J360767. Trying to limit myself to 2 pieces–this is difficult!
Thank you, LeefromMinnesota! Got the Black Corded Organic Bead Necklace in Silver J360768 now just waiting for the matching Bracelet J360770to get Posted!
Seka.
You are welcome Seka. With our Antarctic weather here in Minn it leads one to staying inside stalking Linea!
You & I think alike Seka. I’m waiting for the black corded bracelet to post.
Hi Louis!
Nice to see you yesterday. I know everyone is eagerly awaiting new sneak peeks. Your detailed pics and info help and encourage me to think what is in my closet(s). I would like to know what colors will be new,important and if they will be transitional through other seasons.
Thanks for all you do.
Dawn
Dawn you know I am partial to certain colors….I always do colors that will work with one another, even accent colors. So far SAPPHIRE is a main accent color that I will continue for next fall in the reorder leather/knit jacket so the scoop neck 3/4 sleeve sweater and the v-neck sweater and the sapphire pant will ALL work.
I hope there will be a sapphire WK turtle neck.
Hi Louis!
I’m kinda nervous about the sapphire. I know, I know just do it. I do own your t-neck in a bright blue, a WK tunic and the blouse w/ signature logo cufflinks. Also have the lily scarves from last year. I himhawed with the red ponte pants too and finally took the plunge this month.
Dawn just do it…..you will be happy you did. It’s a beautiful color!
Hi Louis!
I’ll probably pick up the elbow sleeve in the Sapphire. It took some time for me to go for the Red ponte pants but now I know how well the the Scarlet TN & color block Poncho will go with the pants.
Jacs’ black suit, blk/ivory bc pants & the newest Ivory blazer and slim pants give me a lot of mixing options with both the Sapphire and Scarlet.
Awaiting the Scarlet floral blouse and the Clear (estate ???) Pearl necklace.
Thanks for all you do!
Dawn
Dawn…..I don’t want to be an enabler…..but…..you may want to consider the J390565 in Red to go with your Red Floral blouse. This is the necklace and earring I showed with it
Hi Louis – I love so many of your things! Do you have any idea when the organic bead necklace will post on QVC? I don’t know if they have the samples, yet, or the inventory. That is a beautiful necklace! I just don’t want to miss out!
QVC has it all in the warehouse. I honestly don’t know what is taking so long! It should be posted within the next two weeks…..I HOPE!!!
Thank you! I will keep patrolling their website until I see them.
Dear Louis
I am a big fan of both your fashion and jewelry! I am never disappointed if I stick to ordering Linea items from QVC.
Can you tell us when the “Flower Power” necklace will debut?
Thank you!
Dear Cinda I honestly have no idea…it was due this month so Feb. definitely
FYI – Tangiers Necklace & Earrings Set Posted on Q!

Hello Louis,
I’m thinking about pairing the ivory sweaters (long sleeve and elbow) with my white jeans. I don’t mind when the whites don’t exactly match, but what do you think? Thank you. Barbara C.
Dear Barbara…..I think today it is alright to mix whites and ivory’s. There are some who think everything must be a perfect match, but I am not one of those people. If it works for you then it works. Your opinion is the only one that matters!
Thank you, Louis. Just wanted to hear it from the expert!
Hi Louis. Am I dreaming, or did you say there would be a petite coming in the crepe stand collar tunic? Was waiting but see on clearance now..? Thank you. Pamela in sunny south.
I think you were dreaming
LOL. Not the first time. Fortunately there are lots more great pieces to choose from. Maybe it was the other crepe, button front. Don’t know..thanks for reply. Loving my new things
Hi Louis,
Do the sapphire tops match the cornflower blue zip up from a few years ago?
Thank you,
Bernadette
Dear Bernadette. I no longer have the sample to compare. Perhaps one of the ladies owns both and can let you know.
No, sorry, the Cornflower Blue does not match the Sapphire Blue WK.
Sheila
Thank you!!!
Louis,
I just had to share my excitement. If you recall, I was stalking the long grey cardigan. I love the sapphire elbow sleeve top so would’ve been happy with the sapphire long cardigan instead. Well, one grey became available yesterday and I grabbed it while I could. Yay!! That should suffice, but I still may look for the gorgeous sapphire cardi too. 😊
Hope you’re having a good Sunday! It’s rainy and cold (for FL) here so currently just snuggling on the couch with the dogs.
Looking forward to your next shows!
At anytime in the February shows, do uou thi nk the Tangiers sets will show up?
Dear Shari, since it is going to be part of my “hits” tomorrow it will definitely be posted either by midnight tonight or by 7:00am tomorrow.
Ordered!! Thank you
Just finally catching up and wanted to let you know how much I love my new winter-into-spring stuff!! I ordered the new ponte skirt in all colors and went back for a second winter white. My favorite ever skirt of yours was the ponte drawstring–I think this might be my new favorite. So unbelievably flattering, but also with enough stretch to allow for a nice lunch, too! I also ordered the new elbow sweater in three colors and it’s the ideal transition piece. Looks great with distressed jeans, high heeled pumps and layer upon layer of your jewelry. I went way out of my comfort zone and bought the lace trimmed plaid pants. Why do I ever doubt you? They’re so cool and “designer”–I love them with a white button up shirt and also with just a white tee. Great “who knew” piece. Finally I bought the new faceted bead necklace in all three choices. Love them all, but really drawn to the pink version. Looking forward to your February shows–thank you as always for helping me to look much more “effortlessly chic” than I really am!
Kate….It’s so good to hear from you. It’s been way to long……Don’t worry me! I glad you love the things you got, and I’m especially glad you loved the window pane pant. It was one of my most favorite items and I fear one of the most underrated.
Dear Louis,
I just received my new v necks in black and sapphire and you really hit a home run. If you continue with this knit we’ll need
a name like “Sleek knit” or “Silky knit” because it is both those fabulous things. If you are thinking of a jacket, please consider something
like A 98223. I have it in two colors and wore them both out, but in this new knit
It would last forever! What do you think? Love the new sweaters and waiting for ivory color as well. Thanks, dear designer.
Since this is a sweater and the jacket you referenced is a fabric with seams it would not be possible.
Yes, I see what you mean. It would still be great in a cardigan
because it just slides over the body. Thanks for the great knit.
Ciao.
Dear Louis:
I started purchasing your creations 30 years ago because I needed to look good and your fashions ALWAYS made me look good…
I continue depending on you since you came to QVC!!!!
A precious friend of my family was a mentor to me as a seamstress…. She took the subway from Long Island to the garment district to sew for Teal Traina for years and years…She taught me how to tailor…. What a blessing she was!!!! When a garment was not perfect she’d say..,take it out and do it again!
I am a professional musician/recording artist…. I thank you for the years you have committed to perfection in all of your creations!!!
Thank you so much!!!! I look forward each month to your Shows, today purchased the Tuxedo jacket and the Port Blazer!!!
Dear Gail, my first job while I was still a student at Parsons was being an assistant for the designer, Dominic Rompollo at Teal Traina. I had a wonderful experience
Louis, I’ve been loving your A302563 whisper knit sweater with the pockets. I wore them all summer but am still wearing them through the Winter. That style has become my go-to choice for Winter because it’s warm enough for our cold weather…but because of the open scoop neck and 3/4 sleeves it is still cool enough working inside at the office with the heat going full blast Florida style, LOL. Is there a chance that might be reordered? I bought every color except the linen which I returned because it didn’t do so well with my coloring. Would love this style in more colors!

Dear Deborah, that style never sold well from day 1 ???, really don’t know why? Unfortunately it will not be returning.
It was offered a bit late in spring for many of us to buy a sweater. I also had to size down. I love my two in navy and camo. They fill a place in my wardrobe like nothing else. Vy84
Hi Louis
I was looking at your new v neck long sleeve sweaters. I know they are not whisper knit. You described the new fabric as having a cool hand. What exactly is a cool hand?
Thank you
Dear Joanne….It is very hard to explain the feel of something ….when you yourself isn’t feeling it. In the knit world when a yarn like this is a fine highly twisted yarn like this rayon/nylon is spun the end result of the knit is a dry cool touch. Whisper knit, which has basically the similar yarn content, is spun differently and the end result is a softer, similar to a cashmere, warmer touch. That’s the best I can explain it. I think when you touch both it will become clearer.
My order has arrived, and I love everything I chose. I especially want to compliment you on your fabric choices, Louis. Your new v-neck, windowpane plaid, floral blouse and lace embellished tunic truly all look so much money for the price. What a great start to Spring!
Louis, Any clues as to what else is on the horizon from your Spring collection, please?
Seka.
Dear Seka, It’s a little early to post Feb. my photos aren’t done yet….but the rest of the spring summer season is a smorgasbord.
Thank you, Louis. Smorgasbord is good! I’m certain there will be items I will love. When it comes to clothing – Linea is now the only brand I purchase. I only wish the Q would ask you to design footwear and handbags!
Look forward to your upcoming Sneak Peeks!
Seka.
Oh, please, Louis. I’m trying to be good and you roll out Home Town Buffet! No fair!
After reading the above comments, I realized that I hadn’t looked at the Facebook page lately. GREAT JOB JENNIFER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The new v-neck sweater is wonderful. I love WK, but this knit is different, but just as nice. Do you know when the fish necklaces in the new colors be available?? Look great for spring/summer.
Hi Louis
I received your ivory suit last week. I loved it so much I went back on Sunday and purchased the navy version. I love the cool modern fit
of the suit especially the narrow legs. The navy pants look wonderful with a navy v neck tunic in crepe with a split peplum from last spring. Also a perfect match the short sleeve navy round neck whisperknit sweater. I am happy with both suits. Thank you
Joanne, I’m so happy you like your suits….Now you can mix them too and have FOUR suits!
Louis, I just left a review of the new sweater, but I wanted to let you know that it is my new favorite knit and style in the collection, and I couldn’t love it more. The knit, the cut, everything about it is just sensational, and I hope you’ll design another in this knit for us. I’d love one in a T or roll neck in the same cut which is so amazingly slimming and is perfect over the slim pants. I really am just gobsmacked by this sweater. Bought the sapphire and already went back for the black.
Thanks for your note- I went to reviews and read them- and due to your encouragement I purchased the sapphire.
Goldie’s review was also helpful.
thanks ladies
Sarah
Sarah, I think you will be very pleased with your choice. Believe me when I write that this shade (Sapphire) does not appear that often in the Linea palette. Louis uses all sorts of luscious deep blues, yes, but not this particular jewel tone that delights me. Enjoy your top! The style flatters the body, too.
Hi Louis
I’m not a facebook person so I really appreciate your blog. After reading Nedra and Nancy’s post I decided to check your facebook out. I saw I missed a couple of shows so went to look at this morning show with Jennifer and Leah and thought Jennifer looked great. I purchased the floral blouse in red and black too!
I also got some ideas for styling some of my recent purchases.
I saw the red look of Kate’s and realized I have all of the pieces so I may try to be brave and wear all red at once- we’ll see-
thanks as always for your hard work.
ps I decided on the one day only in fushcia to go with all my port items- thanks again to Jennifer’s look last week
Sarah
Dittoes to what Nedra said 😉
Compliments to you and your staff on improvements to your Facebook page. I look forward to the frequent updates. They serve as wonderful reminders of how to style what’s already in my closet and of products I absolutely must have. Thank you, Louis
Dear Nedra I’d like to take the credit, but that is all Jennifer’s doing! She takes pics at every show, and does very clever posts. I could never do it. I have other stuff I have to do.
