………………..Coming  November 13th on FEW, which starts at 6:00am……The RED TUNIC SHIRT……A268129……..just in time for the Holidays, and what a beautiful splendid RED it is. This RED is neither orange nor blue…..it is a pure RED. It is not as bright as my photos, and is actually a bit deeper, but so beautiful!…………………..I have referenced the “Robyn Shirt” before….and, this shirt is closer to the original than any other….however, there are differences………..This new version is numerically sized, and is approx 30 inches for the size 4…There are side slits to this shirt for a more relaxed fit…..It has a WING COLLAR that many of you have grown to love from the cotton wing collar shirt….It frames the face beautifully, and looks good both folded over or popped up, and when you pop it up…it stays POPPED!…..This shirt also has a working…..FRENCH CUFF…..The shirt comes with a set of LINEA SIGNATURE GOLD CUFF LINKS. These were designed and made specifically for this shirt….. If you wish to change the cuff links with some heirloom ones you may have……that can easily be done…perhaps some diamond cuff links for a more formal affair…….Wear this with the RUBY SEQUIN SKIRT, A238538, for up coming Holiday Galas……There is nothing like mixing a tailored shirt with a sequin skirt…..a timeless always sophisticated look…..for a woman who knows….The shirt is approx 30 inches long for the size 4…..yes, it is numerically sized……..The shirt has side slits, and a straight bottom………This shirt is all about the COUTURE FABRIC. The fabric is a POLY/SPAN blend, and is VERY SIMILAR to the A267880, HIGH/LOW hemmed shirt that many of you bought and LOVE in the Alabaster, Black and Blue……..Though it is still substantial, and has a similar hand, it is not the same. If you loved the  high low shirt fabric….you are going to adore this one……..As with the A267880, you can wear it as a shirt or SHIRT JACKET. I have layered the shirt with my A72448, Ivory WK TN, and a pair of vintage Ivory crepe pants……….To complete the look I have added my SIGNATURE NECKLACES, J320468, my SIGNATURE EARRING, J320884, and my SIGNATURE CHARM BRACELET, J325470, all of which coordinate with the signature cuff link…….but all of your Linea necklaces will work beautifully…..from your graduated beads…..you palm frond and fish necklaces when spring arrives……you just have to play…. The shirt tunic is perfect with LEGGINGS, TROUSERS, LONG SLIM SKIRTS, and PENCIL SKIRTS. I am sure you will enjoy wearing this shirt for years to come…..a true timeless piece…………………………………………..enjoy……………………….much Love……………………………….Louis

……………………….This is the PERFECT IVORY TUNIC SHIRT…….and I don’t say that lightly! I chose this fabric because I wanted to make this shirt in IVORY, and it had to look RICH!! Many times a shirt will look great in COLORS, but the white or IVORY version is disappointing………..NOT this one!!…………………..The tunic length……the wing collar……..the french cuff………and the princess seaming………combined make one fabulous shirt………………..Wear it anyway you like……day or night, casual [my pull-on tuxedo Linea Leisure pant or leggings] or dressed up with a killer sequin skirt….there are still some avail in red and blue, A238538….perfect for the Holidays…….I can’t think of a more perfect shirt tunic to wear all year long for any and all occasions………..The BIG question is……do you want more than one in IVORY?…………It’s worth saying again…..This is the PERFECT IVORY TUNIC SHIRT!……This is a MUST HAVE……………………..enjoy…………………………much Love…………………………………Louis

…………………………..The third and last color being offered in this new tunic shirt is………………BLUE……………..and it is a clear PRIMARY BLUE. It is not purple or green……just pure blue. This is a season-less shirt/jacket, and can be worn just as easily in the spring and summer as in the fall and winter…………..Ivory, white, black, grey and navy are all perfect bottom colors to this Blue tunic……..With this blue shirt I have accessorized with the ALL SILVER and the SILVER/GOLD combination signature necklaces, J320468, and the gold signature earring, J320884 and charm bracelet, J325470…….This is a beautifully tailored shirt! Due to the fabric, it is very  fluid and has a soft drape…………This is an easy care fabric….perfect for travel……perfect with a pair of jeans for a more casual outing or “dress casual” party…. or dressed up with a skirt slim pants and heels for when the need for something a little more formal arises……Above, the slim pant in Navy……………………………………………………..enjoy……………………….much Love………………………Louis

………………………………When you think of SIGNATURE DESIGNER PIECES and logo jewelry…..names like Chanel, Gucci, and LV come to mind. None made it more famous or ICONIC than…..CHANEL. Her double “C” appeared on earrings, necklaces, bracelets, bags, shoes, stockings, luggage, apparel etc.,etc. and no one did or does it better to this day……………..I grew up with logos of one kind or another. Anne Klein was famous for her “LION” showing up on everything that it was possible to put it on [she was a Leo like me]……….. I thought it was only natural, after all of these years designing Linea, for me to develop a “signature” that would represent the brand without screaming the name out loud. I have always loved the designs of Chinese coins, and wondered how I could incorporate the two……the doodling began. What I came up with was piercings in metal….all representing the letter “L”……………..Above, you can see four of the five pieces with the Linea insignia………….1-The pierced EARRING in gold and silver, J320884……2-The NECKLACE with the spaced Linea charms, which is avail in all silver and the mixed metal version of silver and gold, J320468, [the all gold version is sold out and on wait list]…….3-The charm BRACELET, J325470, in silver or gold, and it is also avail in two lengths…….4- The CUFF LINK is the newest incarnation of the signature pieces, but the cuff link comes WITH the new tunic shirt and is not avail for a separate sale……The piece missing from the photos, number 5, is the signature charm necklace with the addition of the frosted and clear color beads, J321802………I want to make something very CLEAR….what was once taboo….mixing metals…..is not only OK to do….it is considered very CHIC……..Silver with Gold….Gunmetal with Chocolate……Silver with Gunmetal…..etc…….The mixed metal necklace makes it easy for you to achieve this look and makes it the most versatile of all the necklaces. With this necklace you can wear any color charm earring or charm bracelet you want….For the more adventurous  of you….  you could even wear one gold and one silver charm earring….and just wait to see if anyone notices….better yet if anyone says anything! LOL…..This isn’t as crazy as it sounds, and is perfectly fine to do……where is it written that you can’t???…….What makes all of these pieces wonderful is the QUALITY. The weightiness of the charms, the exactness and sharpness of the piercing….the silver and gold plating….the high polished finish all combine to making each and every piece look REAL………..Now, I have read one reviewer who was not happy because the plating wore through, and when one of my customers isn’t happy I’m not happy…….There are many reasons for this happening. Perhaps an individual piece wasn’t sitting in the plating bath long enough, which rarely happens now that the process is computerized. Platting can be compromised by certain body chemistry…..perfume, hair spray etc etc………However, none of these reasons matter because….if this should happen to any piece of your Linea jewelry….my manufacturer will re-plate the pieces for you. I only wish the reviewer was aware of this. There are very few manufacturers who will do this!!!!! If it happens to a piece you buy in a department store they will not repair it or have it re-plated. Linea stands behind its’ pieces………………………….enjoy……………………..much Love……………………………Louis

……………………………………………..Not only is this one of MY FAVORITE SWEATERS of the season….but I think it is one of the most OVER LOOKED sweaters of the season!………The TIERED WK SWEATER, J268130, is a very unique and incredibly made sweater………It is one of those sweaters that is RIGHT ON TREND…..OF THE MOMENT……. will last forever, and be just as in fashion five years from now as it is today……….The under layer or “tier” is a full layer up to the saddle shoulder….not just an added piece sewn to the bottom for effect. You can see exactly what I mean in the photos where I have turned the sweater inside out……and it CAN BE WORN that way too! The colors are BLACK with a TEAL underlay and BURGUNDY with a ROSEHIP underlay…..both wonderful color combinations……….Dressed up or super casual these sweaters will work for anyone of ANY AGE…..that’s why I think these would make the perfect  HOLIDAY present……… Hip Grandmothers…..Mothers…….Daughters……and Grand Daughters would all enjoy and look great in any one of these sweaters……………………It’s special…..it’s unique, and you certainly won’t find anything else quite like it…………….There are 13 reviews, and 100% of them would recommend this sweater…..that’s quite an endorsement!……………………………….enjoy…………………….much Love………………………………Louis
