…………………Believe it or not the LINEA BODY COLLECTION is returning this month………..when exactly? Sometime mid month…..that’s the best I can say, because none of us on my end know. It’s all up to QVC. The product has been sitting waiting waiting waiting…..”they” say mid month…..no exact date. I’ve decided to give you the outline of what’s coming………………………………………

1-There will be a TWO PACK of 100 DENIER CONTROL TOP TIGHTS: A-BLACK/BLACK, B-VINO/BLACK, C-DARK FOREST GREEN/BLACK, D-ESPRESSO/BLACK. The tights are as you had before and the sizes range from A to G. Size is based on height and weight…..The Black is considered BLACK OUT. The tights are SILKY and MATTE in color. The top has a comfort waist and will not roll….unless…..you buy the wrong size……….ALL of the colors MATCH your Super Ponte Pants, and your Faux Suede Pants.

2-There will be a THREE PACK of 50 DENIER TROUSER SOCKS, again with the comfort top as before. The colors will be A-ESPRESSO/CARAMEL/LODEN,  B-VINO/DARK FOREST GREEN/BLACK, Again, these will match you Ponte Pants and your Faux Suede Pants…..They will look great with a pump or a pretty ballet flat. Sam Edleman has some nice ones.

3-There will be a TWO PACK OF BLACK FLEECE LINED TIGHTS…..It’s certainly getting COLD enough for some cozy fleece lined tights

4-There will be a THREE PACK of BLACK FLEECE LINED TROUSER SOCKS…….cozy cozy

5-There will be a TWO PACK of FANCIES. They are control top tights. One will be BLACK LACE, and the other BLACK POINT D”ESPRIT

Okay…..what about the “no run” sheers?………Trouble in River City!………The mill that makes the yarn made the wrong denier. When I received my production pair to approve I said “what the heck are these????” They looked like compression hose in nude. Now, I had already seen the product months ago so had could this mistake happen?……Stuff happens, and the mistake was made, so end of story…..it’s too late this year to get them produced. We are discussing Spring. What do you think? Would you like “NO RUN SHEER” tights and trouser socks in NUDE, BLACK and SMOKE for early Spring……………………..In the mean time keep on the look out……….the tights and socks will be her soon……I hope!………….These will make great Holiday gifts and stocking stuffers………………

enjoy…………………………much Love………………………Louis

Morning everyone….It’s a cloudy day here in CT, but it is going to be a busy day….more about that later….Whisper Knits….I know there has been a lot of conversation about the lack of new styles in WK, and it is all true. I don’t plan budgets, I have noting to do with QVC’s business. I am just a lowly designer……LOL, but they are well aware of all of your posts! I told you posts and reviews are important!!!! They are read. They know of the complaints……so………I am trying to  remedy that situation. There will be one new WK in January to go with the new BIG DEAL, and don’t ask me what it is I WON’T TELL!….We don’t usually do sweaters for Spring /Summer, but maybe if this Jan. sweater does well I can convince them to reconsider that too. We had an important conversation about WK items going forward, and I’ve made progress. Don’t quote me, because I’ll deny it!….but there may even be a WK BIG DEAL next Fall 2020…….So W Knits are definitely not being eliminated as a category as some of you have feared. All you have to do is see what is left and you know they are doing well. Are we happier now?????……..Jennifer and Cathy [Cathy is in charge and oversees  the Linea jewelry line], are coming up today to work on videos and a LIVE CHAT TOMORROW….Jen and I will let you know exactly when tomorrow……………………….enjoy your day…………Love………………………Louis

……………………..The EL MORROCO NECKLACE, J483112 and companion EARRING J483106, is in a class by itself. It is so much more than a classic piece. It has a boldness that immediately grabs your attention. Years ago, for our 10th wedding anniversary, I bought Jac a beautiful bold gold chain link bracelet from Bulgari. The size and  design of the link was so bold and different you knew immediately this was a very unique and special bracelet…..That was all she needed to wear, it made that strong a statement……..Classic, yes, but the size and drama of the links took it to another level. The minute you looked at it on her wrist you knew it was something special worn by a special woman. Jac was far from flashy, but this she loved……..I knew she would……It was a bracelet everyone commented on……The El Morocco necklace has the same effect. If it were real gold it would be in the category of the bracelet, and probably be $40,000 and maybe more with the DIAMOND BALL…..in this case crystals. These pieces are made so well, they look real…………The GOLD………SILVER and GUNMETAL are all beautiful and all say something different…………..The simple PAVE DOMED EARRING comes in all three colors plus two more. They are both in PIERCED and CLIP………On their own they can be an every day earring…………………..These pieces would make a very impressive present for someone special, and when ever they were worn people could help but notice………

……………………………….Happy Holidays……………………..much Love………………Louis

……………………….The weather certainly has changed in the north east, and it is definitely BLAZER TIME…….Blazers are the perfect thing to wear. As it gets colder wear a Rhuana over it, and when the weather gets even colder wear a coat like the Caramel or Black trench coats or the longer leather jacket, A343472, in BLACK and DK FOREST GREEN, or the PORT over the Caramel……….Add some fabulous jewelry like the BYZANTIUM Group with the DK. Forest Green blazer, or the VICTORIANA with the Black blazer or either the new CHAIN GANG or the CAPRI Group……………….

enjoy…………………………..much Love……………………………Louis
