Louis, yes Jojo is a nickname. My name in Greek is Ioanna which translates to Joanne, but most people call me JoJo or Jo.You are so right that the incense burner necklace brings very special memories for me and I will very much treasure it Because of those wonderful memories. Thank you. I have decided to order the other color in the fish earrings because they are so much fun and if things go well with them maybe next year you could bring them in black. I wish I had seen the original fish set, it sounded so cool. As for the blouse will the sapphire color match the sapphire knit pants that you had?
Knit pants? you have to give me a style number. I don’t remember sapphire kn it pants……Ponte, yes those I remember, but I’m not sure about knit.
Jojo….I don’t know which knit pant you are referring to? I need a style number.
Pining away for new oolors in the WK midi skirt and in coordinating WK pieces including turtlenecks. Tomatoes covered tonight because of frost freeze warning. Know you said our favorite WK’s were not being reordered this year. Wondering if the buyers making the decisions don’t live in cold cold climates. So Sad it has come to this – removing a beloved staple from the season offerings. Somebody up the chain has a strange point of view. Sorry to vent. Just that where I live whisper knits are necessary from September to May. Hoping this doesn’t happen another season.
Louis, if you have time during your Big Deal shows, will you demonstrate ways to tie the scarf that goes with the crepe blouse? I like the the way you showed the ivory version in the photos, but I have not the first idea how to do that.
Carol……I think it would be a better idea if Jennifer and I did a live face book stream on scarf tying lessons…..Then we can take our time and do it properly
Debbie
Just received my beautiful RED long leather jacket……had been on backorder……fits like a Dream! You may want to check this gorgeous option out! It can take the place of a blazer since it is not overwhelming in size or weightđ
Hi Louis, I read your piece on blazers and was wondering, do you know when your red blazer is coming? You mentioned in the past September or October.
Dear Debbie….The reorder blazer in the Scarlet Red is due in Oct……..that said……because it is a reorder they sometimes post them early as soon as they are processed through the system….so I really can’t give you a definitive date…..could be the end of Sept or they can wait and hold it for a show in Oct???? Sorry I can’t be more helpful….but what I can tell you is it is a perfect match to all of my Scarlet Pieces including the trench, the long leather jacket that Becky mentioned and all of the other Scarlet separates.
Hello Louis, I have been waiting for the incense burner necklace and finally received it. It is so beautiful and it reminds me of my dad ( he was a Greek Orthodox priest) so it reminds me of the church services. It is so intricate and beautiful. I love it! Also I ordered your fish earrings. Were they new? Everyone asks me where I got them so of course I told them. Looking forward to the blouse presentation, what type of fabric is the blouse?
Dear Jojo….love your name. Is is a nickname. My great niece’s nickname is Jojo. Jac gave it to her when she was born. Her name is Johanna……I’m so happy you finally got your incense pendant. I remember you telling me about your Father and the significance the incense burner has for you. It will always remind you of your Dad….that’s terrific. What for some will be just an unusual fun piece of jewelry will have so much more meaning for you…….I originally did the fish group for Anne Klein. When I first did it for Linea I did the complete set…the pendant that you know, the fish bone bracelet, the earrings you just received and what was called the school of fish necklace. If you can imagine your fish earrings all linked with small rings creating a long necklace. All of the items sold out and could easily have all been reordered, but only the pendant was reordered, and it’s now 5 or 6 years…maybe more. I don’t remember…Anyway I have had requests to bring the earrings back so we decided to bring them back in the two most popular colors and see how they do this time around. They are a lot of fun and always get noticed and remarked about……………..The blouse is a very fine light crepe, but heavy enough where the ivory isn’t see through. The crepe weave helps that.
Louis.
Did you happen to see Dennis Basso this morning? The models were wearing all your beautiful jewelry and it was so great to see how your designs are so versatile!
I am afraid QVC is like so many aspects of life………they want to attract a much âyoungerâ audience. I wish these folks making the buying decisions would understand they may be overlooking a very large buying group. I will get down off my soapbox now!
No Becky I was in NYC in meetings. It would be nice if someone gave it credit as I always do with the shoes I show.
Hi Becky….again…..addressing your comment about QVC going after the “young market”, I don’t think there is one vendor that is particularly “young”. Certainly not what I see young people here wearing. Then again it depends what you think young is…..I consider the young market 16 to 22, 23. After that these younger women have entered the business world and don’t dress “young” and trendy anymore [in the way I’m thinking]. There isn’t one vendor on QVC I would put in this category unless I’m missing something. Young customers want sexy, bare clothes or very edgy clothes. It’s not something QVC does.Again….not that I’ve seen.
Thank you, Louis.
I think the buyers are making a mistake not reordering your turtlenecks this season.
I hope you will be offering your fabulous designs for Holiday. Didnât seem like there was that much offered for Fall as in years past.
Your clothing and jewelry designs are timeless, classic and elegant.
Pure class….just like you!
Thank you,
Lisa Ann
You are correct Lisa Ann
Hello Louis,
Will your wonderful whisper knit long sleeve turtlenecks be reordered?
Many sizes are not available especially in black.
Thank you so much,
Lisa Ann
Lisa Ann, unfortunately not this year. Not my choice.
Louis,
It’s always said that, “Good things come to those that wait”. So true. I finally have my SILVER fish earrings to go with my silver fish necklace. Not only to wear them as a set, but, how nice with a slouchy cowlneck chunky sweater and jeans!!
Thank you for bringing the Silver for us silver gals
I am thoroughly enjoying wearing (A351469) Moss Crepe V-Neck Swing Top with the printed pants, I don’t remember having a moss creoe this light weigh before, but maybe there is something I missed. Are there other pieces like this? And then the question everyone wants to know, can we have more colors? This is a dream top: I am hoping the brown will go with the new blazers. Thank so much Louis
Dear vickybliss…..if you go to the QVC Linea site,and in the search box type in Linea Moss Crepe everything that I have made in this fabric will show up….As for this top it is unlikely that it will be reordered since as you can see it sold only fair. There are still plenty of sizes in the colors to be had…….I do agree with you that this is a wonderful fabric and a terrific top.
FYI – Blouse with Scarf is posted on Q!

Hi Louis- Looking forward to your Big Deal. Any word on when chain gang items might appear?
Loved you and Jennifer live streaming. A holiday version would be great! Happy weekend.
Hi diane….the word is that my people are pushing to get the Chain Gang group posted by my show date on the 24th, but it’s up to QVC…..fingers crossed
Yes! The reordered jewelry is posted. I ordered 9 items I missed out on the 1st time.Thank you Louis!
Linda I’m so happy I was able to bring these back for you! It doesn’t always work out this way.
Louis, the Coin Jewelry is back in stock. If you missed it the last time, now is your chance!
Louis, thank you for your time. It was a sneak peek (not blue, green) with the adobe shirt and skirt. I just read where you said Rivera Maya Necklace set (J352566) âwas in Green Patina like the chandelier, and some of you had seen a sneak peek of it on one of my shows, but alas the factory refused to make it in that color due to the problemsâ This is a beautiful necklace. Maybe they would do it now. Thank you again.
FAUX de CHINE SAFARI SHIRT, A288388
adobe SUNBURST PLEATED SKIRT, A288389
The necklace on Kate with the adobe skirt and black top is the J358571
There is a blue necklace that is shown with the adobe shirt and skirt on April 21, 2017. Could you please tell the number and name of this necklace? Thank you
You will have to give me a style number of the adobe blouse so I can look at it
Hi Louis!
If you have Amazon Prime there is a great movie; Late Night. It stars Emma Thompson and is a comedy. Emma’s fashions are great. Around the 51 minute mark Emma sports a blazer like your upcoming plaid BD.
Dawn
If it should ever happen, that the Trevi necklace is re-ordered I’d like you to consider turquoise. I have the neutral one and love it, but I am a big turq fan and I’d like to mix with what I have. I think Turq is also always very popular.
The Trevi was reordered in the same colors. No new colors were added, but there will be a lot of turq coming for spring.
I was hoping the reefer coat would come back too! Iâm happy that we have the suede coat coming at least. I am still in shock that there is just one whisper knit.
I just wanted to let you know that when my husband came home from work last night, he was literally chasing me around the house?! What outfit could cause that you ask? My Linea sea blue boho skirt and ivory gauze ruffle top tucked in. I had never tried that combination before. Thanks for bringing some joy into our house Louis. Hugs to you dear friend!
Two thumbs up to your husband
Thanks for the heads up on the fish earrings. Will be great for a couple of upcoming trips to Florida! I have the necklace already so tickled to add these. They are so stunning because of their size. Dainty does not work for my taste or body type.
Thank you Louis!
Louis,
I came across this item in the new Lafayette 148 catalogue. It may look familiar as you showed black sequin pants a year ago. Check out the price!
https://www.lafayette148ny.com/city-sequins-fulton-pant
Thought you might get a kick out of this.
Deirdre
Thank you Deirdre….I did get a kick out of this especially the price! I loved the graphite color and if my pants ever get reordered which they should have, that was the color I was planning to do. I thought these pants were over designed. A zip front sequin pant isn’t going to wear well over time, and a back welt pocket? what for??? Thanks for showing it to me.
The incense burner necklace is posted! Yeah!!!!
Incense burner and fish earrings are posted. Can you tell us what color the eye on the silver tone version is? Is this the first time the silver tone has been offered? Getting both of the burners since the price is sooooo good.
Carol The silver tone has a clears on both sides.
Louis,
When are the reorder blazers from last year expected? Iâm planning to get the red one and need to pace myself with my purchases given all the new goodies you posted this weekend.
Thank you!
Chris they are scheduled for Oct, but with QVC these days that means nothing. Since it is a reorder as soon as they process them they could post them. All I can say is they have been delivered…..the rest is anyone’s guess.
Even though the new red blouse is actually darker than our picture, would it still look good with the black and ivory blazer? I am greatful for these sneak peeks, as it gives us time to actually think through all our options. I know for me, I want everything and I know I need to calm down a bit and think this through.
Dear Karen……I checked and yes the cranberry blouse can mix with the blazer.
Hello
I love all the big deal blazers. I wanted your opinion. Which one do you think looks best with jeans?
Nikki….honestly they all look good with jeans….but if you have to choose I’d say either the caramel or yellow.
Louis
You mentioned that there is a bootcut version of your wonderful faux suede pants coming our way. I’m not asking you to spill any beans — of course if you want to spill some beans, I’ll be thrilled — but could you give us an idea of when they might arrive? October? November?
I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. And thank you, BTW, for the lovely video from your home. There’s nothing like living on the water.
Michelle
The faux suede pant is due in Oct.
Good morning!
I, like you Louis, am a fan of the shape of an incense burner, so I have been positively haunting the Q site, waiting for the incense burner necklace to be posted. The end of August has come and gone, and no necklace. Might you know when our wait will be over?
Shay I wish I knew!!!! I am hoping for this month. I will make MORE inquiries and see what answer I get.
Mad for plaid!?!? Mad for your new glen plaid blazers with ‘a twist’ only you can do!!! Classic the glen plaid may not be, but they are sure to become a classic! These blazers are the epitome of class. Cannot wait to order mine. Thank you for ALL you do for us.
rae
Hi,
Was the reefer coat reordered? I love that coat and was hoping for more colors.
Thank you!
No Chris, another wonderful item that went by the wayside due to budget cuts!
Louis,
Yes, I do have the black and grey. I needed to inventory my pants and have several sizes due to weight fluctuations. I also needed to refresh my memory as to what each piece goes with what. I try to keep all matching pieces IE: Blazers/pants together. I watched several videos including A257338. It was bittersweet to see Jac. She definitely was a class act.
Dawn
Hi Louis!
Thanks for the reply about the new upcoming necklace that will go with last season’s black jet tassel and pave egg necklace. This morning I did an inventory of pants that I own by doing an online search with item #’s/A. I own the Blk pinstripe jacket- A259098 along with the matching pants. I watched the video this morning and also searched on your blog as a refresher for styling. Lo and behold I have the pearl pin that you accessorized on the jacket. I’ll have to pull both the pin and tassel necklace and see how they pair. I say they would definitely coordinate well without even doing a pull. Ha Ha, Winner Winner chicken dinner! Love that older pieces coordinate with new offerings.
Very excited to see the new tights, non-run hosiery and trouser socks. Also anxiously waiting for the Scarlet jacket, faux suede trenchs, plaid blazers and BD blouses!
I’ll repeat ’til I’m blue in the face, “Thank You For All You Do!
Dawn
Dear Dawn…I loved those pinstripe pants. Do you have the black ones? You should pull those front and center in your closet and wear them as you would a solid black pant. They will look great with the new Scarlet Red blazer…..I just looked at the video of the pant and there was my Jac…..It was wonderful to see her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Louis
Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us. It will be a hard choice to make on the chain gang necklaces.
The sangria was a big hit!
Thanks, Kathy
Glad to hear the Sangria turned out well!
Dear Louis, No need to apologize for A288390, I feel quite sure it was not your idea to discontinue it. What were they thinking?
Hello Louis,
What can you tell us about any new Linea tights and knee socks–colors? Patterns? Thank you!
Dear Lee, the tights, if I remember correctly it was done so long ago, will be offered in a two pack….black and a color…The knee socks will also be offered in a pack, but I don’t remember if it’s a 2 or 3 pack. The colors are the colors of the season…..Black, caramel, loden, vino, dk forest green, espresso etc. There will also be a 3 pack of the NON RUN Sheer tights in Nude, Smoke and Black. Then there will be a 5 pack? of sheer Trouser socks in the same colors if memory serves?? Each month will offer something new with a 2 pack of fancies in Nov. for the Holidays
Hi Louis!
I know you’ve mentioned bringing in some fabulous jewelry for the holidays with faceted beads. Will you be bringing any new pieces to coordinate with the BLACK DIAMOND EGG shaped bead TASSEL NECKLACE, J387783?
Thanks for all you do!
Dawn
Yes Dawn there will be a necklace that works perfectly with the black jet tassel and pave egg.
Louis-
Regarding the Moss Crepe V neck top:
It still shows that way my iPhone app. I just checked my computer and the other two colors arenât listed.
Please consider bringing the top back in additional colors in the future. Thanks!
Hi Louis-
I ordered all 3 colors of your Moss Crepe V neck swing top # A351469 in my usual size small . I noticed that there are two additional colors xâd out online ( denim blue and khaki). Will they be available at a later date? I usually do not care for swing tops because I find them boxy and overwhelming. These tops have shape and are very flattering and am hoping the additional colors will be offered.
Thank you, Janice
Dear Jan, I don’t know where you saw that? I just looked at it on the Linea site and only the 3 colors are listed. Anyway, there is no plan at this time to reorder, but it is early.
Dear Louis, Are you going to add any new colors to my favorite Linea piece A288390? That top makes me feel like I am something special when I wear it out and about, my hubby loves for me to wear it. Thank you for that.
Dear Amanda, that top was reordered once, and that will be it…..no more new colors, sorry
I’m spitting mad about the WK cutbacks. So the V-neck–is this the traditional style or the swing style. You probably mentioned it before, but somehow I missed it. My sapphire jacket Is scheduled to arrive on Sat. Can’t wait!
It’s a longer style with a straight bottom and side slits, not swing. Kate was wearing it with the navy leather longer jacket
The highlight of my Hurricane Dorian watch this past weekend was the delivery of my leather jackets in Sapphire and Dove. They are magnificent! That makes six of these beauties for me. I fear that QVC is cutting back and we may never see these kinds of offerings again. I’m wondering if Liberty Interactive which owns QVC & HSN, and is a subsidiary of Liberty Media Corporation might be tightening the purse strings. They may be looking for good third quarter results. Liberty has purchased a number of costly companies in the last couple of years. This is just a thought. I have no information, but I don’t remember the Q making such an effort to get rid of merchandise in August & September.
You may be right….I see tightening up in every area.
Is the yellow WK the same yellow as buttercream that was posted in the Ponte for about a min.?
No Karen….two different names….two different colors
Louis,
Just wanted to share my enthusiasm for the blazers. I love them!! They fit like a dream and will be perfect for Florida.
Loved your video with Jennifer! The only thing that wouldâve made it better would be to see your girls. đ
Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us. What a view!
Next time I will have the girls make an appearance. They are such divas they would have taken over!
And wow, I canât understand the Whisper Knit decision. The original v-neck is one of my top favorites ever – as is the turtleneck.
What can I say??? It’s a mystery to me. These pieces are sure sellers so how they can just drop them is mind boggling. I don’t know where the $$$$ are going.
So Louis, your gauze crepe blazer is the bomb! I got it in black and loden and love both. Just left a glowing review on the Q site, and ordered the camo print top to wear with the loden. You just canât beat a Linea blazer!
Enjay…..so glad you love your blazers! I thought they really filled a gap in a woman’s wardrobe…..a super light weight blazer.
Louis, thanks for sharing the WK colors, they sound lovely!
Oh my goodness, Louis! I was hoping I misunderstood. The new WK V-Neck is going to sell out in a FLASH! Your Whiper Knit is my favourite of all knits/fabrics!
The Qâs decision logic mystifies me!
Seka.
Louis, Am I understanding correctly that this WK V-Neck Sweater is the only new WK item this Fall/Winter – and that there are no Re-Orders of other WK styles?
Seka.
Dear Seka….you understand perfectly….unfortunately….There were 4 or 5 styles that should have been reordered, the turtle neck, long skirt and crop open front cardigan but they were not. I have no answer why?
Hi Louis, can you tell us what colors will be offered in the upcoming WK V-neck sweater? Thank you!
Julie…it’s not avail until Oct so It’s a little early, but i will be showing some on the 24th with the Big Deal blazer…….Scarlet Red, Navy, Cranberry and Pale Yellow are the 4 colors.
Hi Louis,
Will the faceted bead station necklace,J356989, be coming back in new colors???
Thank you,
Bernadette
No Bernadette, not that style but there will be many faceted bead necklaces coming for Fall and Spring.
Oh Louis, what a lovely visit with you and Jennifer this evening! Such a nice surprise as I sat down in my parlor after dinner. I love the chocolate and black necklace, and the cathedral necklace is just my style. Jennifer is so cute, as always!
Your gathering room looks so wonderfully warm and cozy. I shall picture you there with your pups every evening! Thank you for showing us your treasures that you and Jac have collected. I think your back porch overlooking the water does indeed look heavenly! Have a wonderful evening, Louis. Love and hugs!
Hi again
When will you be offering the gorgeous ivory blouse Jennifer wears in the 20 minute video at your home?
The blouse should be avail when I present my BIG DEAL BLAZER on the 24th. I will be avail. in FOUR colors.
Hi Louis
When will you be sharing with us a sneak peek of your blazer Big Deal?
Dear Joanne….the show is just over four weeks away so probably in two or three weeks. I don’t want to show it too early with nothing else to sneak peak
Wonderful Pat! Thank you for the good news. Excited to receive it. Pamela SS.
Pamela,
I tried the walnut copper top with the caramel pants and I think they look great together. Thank you for reminding me that I have that top.
Pat
No problem. Maybe will wear with black or gift it. Thanks so much for checking Louis. Pamela in the sunny south.
P.s. A341739. Btw, the caramel pants are a perfect match to A343152, the last season big deal whisper knit with embroidered sleeves. They are on clearance with lots of sizes. Linea ladies may want to take a look. Thanks Louis. Pamela SS
Thanks Louis. It was a lunchtime special. Came navy with off white, cypress linen and walnut copper. I ordered the walnut copper. Hoping it will go with espresso or caramel pants. I own the navy and love it with off white super ponte.
Dear Pamela….I checked the walnut print to the espresso pant and the print is much darker, almost black. They are definitely not a match
Louis, recreating this shirt would be wonderful. I owned the silk version in white with black stripes and black trim. I loved wearing it and always received compliments on it. I gave it away, along with my business suits, when I retired. It would be nice to own something similar to it. I agree with the ladies to not have it tunic length. My suggestion color combinations are: light or medium tan/black stripes, white/black stripes, red/white stripes, black/white stripes, medium blue or navy/white stripes and mint green or olive green/white stripes. Thank you for your beautiful creations.
Hi Louis…question regarding a woven blouse on special ..would walnut match new espresso ponte pants or too dark. I like matchy matchy, not blend . LOL. Thank you. Pamela in SS
Dear Pamela. I would need more info like what is the style number of the shirt in walnut. If they have two different color names, chances are they will not match, maybe blend but not match.
I received my black blazer today and it is perfect! It will be great for travel. Please bring it back; I would love more colors. I have already posted my review. Thank you for this lovely jacket! ~ Barbara C.
Louis,
My beautiful black blazer arrived and it is perfect in every way. The sleeves even hit in just the right place. Usually, sleeves hang beyond my fingertips, but not this time. I also appreciate that there is not an open pleat in the back to gap open. The jacket falls beautifully in the back. I have all four of the crepe gauze bottoms in black to mix and match. What a beautiful wardrober!
The new boot cut paints fit perfectly, however, I will have to have them shortened about 3 inches. Keeping my fingers crossed they will still look okay.
Thank you so much!
