Okay….suggestions please. The Inset Lace top, A351465 and the Shantung jacket, A351115, are strong contenders for being reordered……..What colors would you like to see in each?….Thank you, Louis

Hello all……I am very pleased to get such an overwhelming positive response to my question. I was thinking of modifying the shirt slightly. I’d like to make it 1 1/2 inches longer and add band pockets…….thoughts? What colors would you like to see it in? Due to minimum dying of the yarn I may have to limit the stripes and contrast under collar and cuff to white and black. I’ll know more if we go a head with it…………………Louis

Good news ladies……starting this Monday the 26th and all day Tues. the 27th, there will be FREE SHIPPING & HANDLING on all jewelry……On top of that I have been told there will be EZ Pay………So hold off on your jewelry buying until Monday and Tues…………………..enjoy……………………..much Love………………………………Louis

…………………………….For my SAPPHIRE BLUE LOVERS…..one more thing to tempt you…………..the Sapphire leather and knit jacket. It can be very chancy when you ask leather mills to dye a VIVID color, but they came through with flying colors. I couldn’t be more pleased with the color and the SOFTNESS of the leather. It just looks and feels expensive…….like French leather jackets. Pairing it with the matching WK scoop neck, short sleeve sweater, A347450, and the Sapphire Blue slim pant, A265615, is pure runway….or right out of the pages of your leading fashion magazines…..A column of color like this needs a bold piece of jewelry. I have chosen the SILVER COZUMEL necklace and earring set, J352562…..Still avail. but very limited!….For a more everyday look I have paired it my Indigo jeans A304733………The Incense Burner adds just the right touch to keep things simple……..but interesting…………………………enjoy……………………..much Love…………………………Louis

……………Many of you remember the 100% SILK SHANTUNG window pane shirt. The last time it was sold was in 2006 or 2007. It’s  been many years since it’s been avail. Unfortunately, the price increase of silk was so huge that it was impossible to produce it anymore. At one time silk out of China was extremely inexpensive, but the Chinese government changed all of that. Overnight they raised the price of the raw silk thread before it’s spun. That ended my, and everyone else in a certain price range, use of silk. The demand was still there, and many of you asked to please bring it back. A whole group of you have never seen this shirt, and those of you who do have it, are still wearing it. At one point we had  twenty color combinations. A few years ago we had the shirt priced out. It was over triple the amount of the original price. I can’t imagine how much it would cost today………..So why am I bringing this up? On a whim, I asked Elaine, my manufacturer, if she though the window pane could be reproduced in the new stretch SHANTUNG of the India Pink, Turquoise and Lime fame…….We sent a swatch of the original for pattern, and they sent back their version…..which was exact. Side by side you can’t tell the difference, but of course one is silk and the new shantung is polyester………So…….my question to you is….would you be interested in the window pane jacket in the new Shantung. The buyers loved it, but I’m coming to you first before I pursue it any further……….Would you like this new version? Yea or Nay?
