……………….The SAFARI SHIRT, A214117, is back and ready for ordering!……………At the beginning of each spring/summer season there is great anticipation about what the new colors in the safari shirt will be. The suggestions were tallied and I made my decision. I hope you understand that not all of the colors you suggested can be chosen….so I made the decision, not only on all of your suggestions, but what is “in the air”….fashion wise…………One of the colors that received the most votes was AQUA…..This is a color that I introduced first as a Whisper Knit, and it sold out immediately. Since then it has been one of my most popular colors, and I have used it for many things….. from more Whisper Knit sweaters to a Crepe jacket and pant,A253576 [a very European look with the Aqua shirt] Denim pants, A252357, a Linea Leisure Hoodie,A262064….my personal favorite of all the colors, and the Lace, and now the BOHO skirt too! ………The skirts should be avail in March……..LIGHT TAN is also a new color being introduced in the Safari shirt, and later in the season….the BOHO skirt will also be avail with the Aqua! The new Light Tan is a great match to the slim ponte pant in Light Khaki…. that has sold out and many of you love…….It also blends beautifully with the new L.L crop pant with the cuffed bottom, A273859…………….For my newest Linea Ladies who may not be familiar with this shirt…..a little history…..The Safari shirt is a very classic shirt that I introduced about four or five years ago. It has a classic shirt collar and stand, roll up sleeves with tabs, and two front pockets with flaps. It has a placket button front and side slits……So what gives this shirt an edge? First it is the fabric. I chose a sheer crinkle georgette [the same fabric as the Boho skirt] This is an easy care fabric….easy to pack and one of the airest, coolest shirts you will put on your bodies when the summer heat and humidity sets in………The BUTTONS are REAL ABALONE SHELL. I doubt very much that you will see many shirts offered at QVC, or in retail stores for that matter, with real shell buttons outside of very expensive designer shirts. For some shirt colors I have chosen to use the back side of the shell for a sportier look, and some will be on the smooth side dyed to match…….The sleeve has a 3/4 length and is finished with a straight bottom….no cuff…………Due to the fact that the fabric is sheer….I have also provided a separate tank shell in a faux crepe de Chine. As an added detail I have provided a lingerie thread strap with a snap on the inside of the tank straps. This may seem inconsequential, but it is HAND WORK, and takes time to do….and time is money. This “minor” detail could have easily been left off, but it is these details that separates my clothes from all the others. This may or may not matter to you, but it is a sign of QUALITY………………………..enjoy………………………..much Love…………………………Louis
