Dear Louis, when you were on the Q you always said to “shop your closet”. That is just what I did with your help. I pulled out the sequin pants and wondered how I could wear them to my niece’s wedding. I pulled up your website searched the pants and found the video you posted. Long story short you showed 13 different looks and I had 12 of the 13 different tops/jackets you showed plus the jewelry. Yes, I was an avid Linea collector. I settled on the tuxedo blazer with the beautiful ivory pleated blouse and glitterati necklace.
Thank you Louis! You are such a talented and generous man. You continue to help your Linea customers even in retirement!
Ginny
WOW Ginny….don’t know if the wedding took place yet, but you are going to look INCREDIBLE!….Good style and good quality clothes never go out of style. I know many women who are STILL wearing clothes from my Anne Klein collections over 30 years ago [if they still fit LOL], and are loving them. People, who haven’t seen them, think they are new!
Thank you Louis. The wedding will be in Sedona, AZ on December 7th. My challenge now is to pack the blazer and sequin pants in a carry on suitcase. Do you have any suggestions? Should I roll the pants?
Every year when I purge my closet I never let go of any of my Linea pieces. They are with me for the duration!
Hi Louis!
I have a wedding to go to at the beginning of November in Houston and the dress is cocktail attire. I was planning on wearing your Graphite Lace Insert top with black pants and black suede and patent d’orsay pumps along with the large brown and black tassel necklace. In your opinion is that combination dressy enough for cocktail attire? Life is so casual these days and I haven’t had too many opportunities to dress up so I was hoping to tap into your expertise!
Hugs,
Bernadette
Bernadette…it sounds perfect to me…Refresh my memory…what is the color with the graphite?….What other dressy tops do you have as an alternative?
The lace is a pretty beige and the graphite insert you had said it was dyed black but came up a grayish color.
Actually, I do have A347453, the white top with the black floral pattern on the sleeves, but maybe I shouldn’t wear white???
I have the black pansy top, several whisper knit tops (but it’s Texas and we are still in the 90s), the white A384511 which is the pull over blouse the the tonal stripes and it came with a scarf, and the python blouse in neutral
I don’t have too many dressy items since life has become so casual. I usually dress for work with more of a dressy sportswear vibe, Jeans, Kate shirt, your jewelry, and nice sandals. I wish I could upload pictures my options on hangers paired with the jewelry.
Bernadette……question instead of black pants do you have a beige or grey pants that would work the lace insert blouse, with with a gold or silver shoe? I do love the idea of the A384511 white blouse which is also dressy enough and would look great with your black pant and shoe and tassel necklace. I’m just not sure if the black pant isn’t too much of a contrast with the lace insert blouse??? Black and white is always elegant and the necklace would really show well.

Dear Louis,
You were my favorite designer on the Q….so classy, respectful toward the women and such wonderful designs.Your love for Jac was so evident to all of us. Thank you for showing us all what a true gentleman is…hard to remember in this strange world.
Louis,
I just had to write. You may have not sold clothes on the Q for years but that does not mean you are absent from my wardrobe. Far from it.
Yesterday I bought (eBay) the multi strand necklace and bracelet in blue, silver and gold. I have the brown and black set and the blue will coordinate with many items in my closet. I wore a front pleated button front ivory blouse with chiffon sleeves today with a royal blue zipper front v neck knee length duster/coat. I also have it in red. My husband said I looked great and said some of it looked like “Louis”. I said yes, I still have many items. They are classics.
Admittedly, many pants and tops have gone to resale or I wore them out over the years but I hang on to a container of Louis items I simply cannot part with no matter what. Most remaining are special and not something I wear everyday, but each, especially some of the lace pieces, always prompt compliments. The fabrics are unique and beautiful.
Regarding my eBay purchase, I had to chuckle at the selection-I have most that is posted plus lots more in my jewelry trays! My jewelry collection from you is fabulous and relevant still today.
Well, I just thought I would say thanks again. I am very happy to be a beneficiary of your talent.
Dear Jackie, it’s good to hear from you. I’m happy you are still enjoying your Linea clothing and jewelry…..They will never go out of style….If you’re interested I still sell jewelry on QVC….My silver/gold plate line and there are still Fashion jewelry pieces there too.
Cillian Murphy, Louis I know you were a big fan of Peaky Blinders as I was! I bet you were pleased to see Cillian Murphy win the Best Actor award at the Oscars!!!!
I must say it was a very group, and i would have been happy with almost any of the nominees winning….but….I really hoped it would be Cillian. Even though he had already won other awards for Oppenheimer, it’s the Oscars and they are well known for having spoilers.
Hi Louis,
I just purchased a reversable jacket on ebay that must be from your early days at the Q. I don’t remember ever seeing it. It is quilted black (silk?) velvet on one side and a beautiful blue silk on the other. It was advertised as new without tags and it certainly looks pristine. Your label was sewn into a pocket. Do you remember it and if so any idea how old it is.
Hello Mr Dell’Olio,
I have quite a few of your precious Jewelry pieces from the Q, including the Hematite Fantasy Blossom necklace and earring set. It is just stunning. My only regret is not getting the jet black as well. Are there any available anywhere at all for purchase. I am a weary eyed searcher :). Thank you for your impeccable yet affordable pieces.
Dear Deborah…..sorry but I don’t have anything….You can try ebay or etsy or any of those on line stores.
Louis do you have your clothing line available anywhere For me to purchase so miss you on qvc
No Barbara, I only design jewelry now that is sold on QVC
Hi Louis
I was smart enough to buy both of your beautiful jackets. The boucle’ jackets have gold piping at the bottom, double piping at the waist and double gold piping at the neck with beautiful knot gold buttons. I purchased both the ivory and dark navy jackets. Last week I wore the ivory version with Linda’s matching ivory pants and last night I wore the dark navy version out for dinner with Linda’s matching navy pants. Both outfits looked sensational. I patted myself on my back that I was smart enough to purchase both Linea jackets when you offered them. They both look as good as the day I purchased the jackets. I know you are retired from clothes designing, but “thank you again for designing so many beautiful clothes!
Louis, I’m hoping you can help me. I just purchased a lamb leather jacket. I just took it out of the box & noticed a couple of creases in the back on the peplum. Would you know how I can get the creases out of this soft leather? Thank you.
Dear Evelyn…..during the production process of all types of leather and suede jackets they are pressed. You can press yours too….but be careful. lay the area you want pressed on the ironing board ON THE WRONG SIDE!!! put a cloth over it and press on low heat. If the crease doesn’t come out increase the heat, but never too hot. If you feel unsafe doing this ask your dry cleaner if they can do it for you. If they have an alteration person they can probably press it.
Louis, thank you so much for your expert advice.I appreciate it.
I just bought a Louis Dell’Olio
mens white shirt. it is embroiderie of Louis name.
I had to stop while looking, as it seemed to come out of the blue. I don’t have to the count the seasons that I’ve followed Louis linea. I’ll treat the shirt so gingerly that the washing will be fearful.
I only wish I could sit at the fireside on the long island coast with the guests.
best regards.

Hi, Louis, I just want to tell you about my experience at a 100th birthday last night– I wore the ruffle skirt and jacket to this party.
I can’t begin to tell you how many people came up to me and said they loved the outfit. I think that it is one of those outfits that will never go out of style. I hope you remember it. I bought it in navy blue. Just wanted to let you know. I wish you were still on QVC. As far as I am comcerned, you are the best designer, and I have quite a few of your clothes. I really enjoy wearing
them. I always feel like a million bucks when I wear them. At least a million, maybe more!
Hi Louis- I see in the Sat./Sun. July 1-2 2023 Wall Street Journal a Paul Morelli advert for a Gone Fishing Fishbone Pendant very similar to your version of the same idea. This one is in Diamonds. I have 3 of yours- black, yellow and green. They bring out the smiles!
Good morning, Louis. I just finished watching a documentary about Diana Vreeland. I searched your blog to see if you had previously written anything about her. There are a few comments, but nothing personal. Can you give us a bit of insight into this woman, whether from personal experience, gossip, or just your opinions? I read that she had her dollar bills and tissues ironed before putting them in her handbag. Can this possibly be true? But most eccentrics are people that are admired for their genius in other ways, aren’t they?
Hi Louis]
I am glad I was smart enough to buy all three of your incredible embroidered skirts. I purchased the blue/black, latte/black, silver/black. I have a number of wedding this year. I am not tall so they are ankle length on me. They are so beautiful. I also wear your tuxedo jacket with the beaded pants. I bought multiples of the beaded pants. Another incredible outfit. Your evening wear on QVC was sensational. Best part all of my choices look at good as the day I purchased. Thank you
Dear Joanne, So glad you are enjoying your clothes….You made very smart purchases. I also think, for the price the evening clothes I did for QVC were wonderful. No one would ever guess how much they cost…..they look so much more expensive. The clothes you find in the stores now is either shabby or extremely expensive, and QVC has nothing in the evening category anymore. They have gone so down hill.
I totally agree! Your evening clothes were sensational.
Hello Louis! I hope this finds you well!i am excited to report that my niece’s art will be shown at this year’s Hamptons Fine Arts Fair and she has invited me along for moral support. I have never been to the Hamptons and in planning my wardrobe, I started here by searching on “Hamptons”. In addition to some lovely stories, the tie-dye cotton sweater with gross grain trim came up (in peach). A pair of white shorts and outfit #1 is done! I have almost everything in your entire collection from about 2011 on. Do any other suggestions come to mind?
Is there somewhere other than QVC to purchase your anniversary bracelet. they are currently sold out? Will it be restocked at QVC/
No…it is only sold on QVC, but it is coming back SOON with a new saying inside.
Thank you so much!!! You are the best.
Will there be gold and silver choices for the bangle?
If you are referring to the new version of the anniversary bangle I think it’s coming in silver only but I will check
I bought a sweater from you years ago, I love it and I’m still wearing it. I’d like to buy a few more. There’s a number on the leaning tag , A279525 . It 60%cotton 40% Acrylic. Will you be offering these again ?
Dear Angela, I haven’t made apparel for QVC in two years, and the Linea apparel line was discontinued…..so I am unable to help you find another sweater. I’m happy you you love the sweater and are still wearing it.
As time goes on and I continue to wear your fashions from QVC I am stunned how each item is as it was when first purchased! The design remains current, the fabrication is outstanding, the complements continue. —- There is nothing comparable on QVC currently.!!!
I am not tall. I am 5’1”. I am very careful about what I wear.—— You were the only designer who made the comment that a certain style wouldNOT work well if you are a shorter woman. I truly appreciated that. All others claimed that everything works for anyone——I’m not blind! I found that to be offensive!
Today I attended a concert and wore a jacket of yours that is at least 10 years old. Each of my well-dressed friends commented on how much they liked it. Little did they know that it cost 1/4 of what their clothing cost!
I am so disappointed that I can no longer buy your fashions.
I wish you well and please know that your talent is much appreciated!
Louis, Thank You for sharing the video Garden Update. Sorry about the cherry trees. I share Jac’s love of Lilies of the Valley, and the Pansies too – well, I love pretty much all plants and trees. Have you ever considered planting grape vines? Happy Springtime, Louis.
❤️ Irene
Dear Irene, when we first moved into the house in 1992, the arbor was grapes. Jac even tried to make a jelly out of them, but let me just say all the work wasn’t worth the result. They eventually made such a mess with the falling grapes, and the doggies eating them and bringing them into the house on their paws that I said ENOUGH! I ended up cutting them at the base and planting Wisteria. The Wister grew quickly and wound itself around the old grape vines which gave them a great base. They are much prettier and much less mess!
Hello Louis, Bravo to Jac for her grape jelly endeavors. Many, many years ago, my Uncle Vince had beautiful grapes on his property that he looked after with such loving care. I remember he and Aunt Madge made wine with their grape harvest and when I was a child, my Uncle Vince & Aunt Madge would let me “taste” a spoonful just to see if it was OK.
That’s a wonderful photograph of you and Lorraine Bracco. And oh my gosh “Lorraine’s Suit,” worn by Elaine Erwin is absolutely GORGEOUS. The way the jacket is made, the shoulders, the lapels, the Bakelite stick pin – it is PERFECTION!
But did you know that Lorraine Bracco purchased a 200-year old Italian villa – for 1 Euro – and then she had a show on HGTV depicting the renovation of the villa. It was entitled “My Big Italian Adventure.” I’m not certain exactly when this occurred, but I discovered Lorraine when I Googled her name, and you can see excerpts of Lorraine and the show on YouTube. I understand from reading the “comments” the renovation was beautiful. I love Lorraine’s voice too. Someone said they could listen to Lorraine recite the ingredients off a box of Cheerios all day long.
Love to you Louis. Thank you for writing back. ❤️ Irene
Louis, I came upon this page and was soooooo pleased to see you. I’m Peggy (Schaub) Severson from Jaeger, Giorgini, Giorgini Players, etc. Memories are swallowing me up! Would love to speak to you on phone. I’ll leave my info below as provided. Thank you for a terrific morning of memories. Have always (and still do) love your talent.
Dear Peggy……it’s been so many many years. I see Allan Duddle on Facebook once in a blue moon, and often think about all of you. I wonder what happened to Bart and Jim, and the other salesman who worked there. Can’t remember his name, but he was very nice as they all were. Don’t really know what happened to Giorgini after I left.
Good morning, Louis. I cannot help but share how your designs honored my sister at her memorial service this past weekend. As I was packing to go last week, I tried on several of your LBD’s for fit. I was looking in the mirror and realized this was as far from my sister’s style as it gets. She was an artist, a gardener and loved your prints. Her favorite color was periwinkle. I searched the blog for periwinkle a lo and behold it sparked ways to honor her! I wore your butter/periwinkle hydrangea print suit to her service. I felt like she was smiling from heaven! (Her gardens had many periwinkle hydrangeas!). I traveled in the coral floral print shorts and matching cotton sweater – with periwinkle in the print! On the journey back home, I wore a white boho with the “blueberry/lime” cotton sweater (a periwinkle like color)! This blog helped wake up my awareness of these items, and really helped me get through a very tough weekend. Thank you again for this blog and all your gorgeous designs!
Dear Susan…..you were so right in the choices you made instead of wearing black…..I’m sure you made your sister happy!
Dear Louis, I am glad you are O.K. I just worry about everyone I love. Take care.
Dear Louis , I am so glad you are O.K.,and took the time you needed. I always worry about
about all the people I love.
Take care, Cynthia
Dear Louis, my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your beloved wife. She was a beautiful woman. I will keep you in my prayers. I miss your beautiful clothing on the Q. Take good care. Anna Maria
Dear Louis,
Dear Louis, Did you run away? April 2 is the last post I received from you. I hope you are O.K..
Dear Cynthia. that’s funny. In a way I did run away. I needed a break. Sometimes you have to say to yourself “stop the world I want to get off”. Posting everyday was starting to become a grind, and not fun…..so I dexided to take a little time off, but I’m back and feeling goo Thanks for your concern!
Louis,
Please don’t continue this blog if it is a burden. It is fun for all of us but I can certainly understand that it could become tedious. I thought I couldn’t live without having more of your clothing but here I am…alive. (Though I do find that I appreciate your clothing even more as time passes.) We will all survive if you decide this is not what you want to do anymore. Only post if you feel like it. We all only want what is best for you.
Dear Donna….It is very kind of you to be looking out for my well being. I greatly appreciate it. It’s not that I don’t enjoy posting it’s just that sometimes I really don’t know what to post. I will definitely continue to post as I do enjoy it, but maybe not EVERY day….LOL
Chiming in to say “whew” that you are okay! And please post only as the spirit moves you. With the lovely weather you may be out in the garden instead of looking at a screen now. Wanted to let you know that a friend just started buying and wearing Linea Whisper Knits — she reports that she loves them and is having a great time exploring your blog and all your designs. So the group of fans grows!
Hi Louis,
While watching your last jewelry show, I decided to order the pearl paperclip necklace from
Just Jill. I received it today and love it! Like the pearl size and the length. I know I’ll wear it often.
It seems perfect for summer with dresses as well as tee’s. In the winter, I’ll layer it.
I’d also like to mention the excellent service from J-Jill. The necklace shipped immediately and I was kept
abreast of it’s progress to my home. It’s a happy Thursday at my house!
Louis,
Will there be a way for those of us not on Facebook to watch your presentation? I used to be able to watch it on this site, but it no longer is shown here. I miss seeing your presentations, but will not join Facebook.
Thank you.
Dear Chris….I used to be able to embed the video from Face Book to my Blog, but Face Book won’t let me do it anymore. Maybe some one can tell me another way?
CHRIS…..I WAS ABLE TO POST THE SHOW ON MY WEBSITE!!!!!…..ENJOY!
Thank you!

Hi Louis,
Just had to drop a quick note. I was going through my many recipes today looking for some delicious cookies for the holidays and found my recipe of Jac’s Ginger Cookies. I didn’t need to look any further. Done deal. Remembering her this month.
Merry Christmas Louis
The good news…….I wear all of your jewelry often.
The bad news………I broke a necklace today. The silver beads (tortue?) scattered when the string broke. I have all the pieces but need it fixed. No, I do not have the receipt anymore.
Are we still able to send your jewelry somewhere for repair, or do I need to find someone else?
Dear Jackie, I am assuming this was a Linea Fashion necklace and not a silver necklace. Unfortunately the company closed and doesn’t make fashion jewelry anymore so there is no place to send it for repair.
Louis, I was hoping for a different answer. I hope I can find someone. I organized all my jewelry trays today. I had great fun looking at all my beautiful Linea pieces I purchased over the years. My husband walked in and said, “are these all from Louis?” Of course he knew the answer. I wear your jewelry often even if I am home for the day. Why not? No reason to let them sit in the drawer. That would be a waste of money.
I also saw you were mentioned in this weekend’s Wall Street Journal.
Sorry Jackie, but there is no longer a staff to handle repairs.
Dear Jackie….you should find out if there is a bead store or a craft store in your area. I remember there was a bead store in Norwalk CT. that taught how to string necklaces, and also provided that service……..The WALL STREET JOURNAL???I can’t imagine why my name was mentioned?
Hi Louis! Happy Halloween!
I have had. your purple A210358 Asymmetrical Suede Zip front jacket since 2010 in the purple (violet). I have lovingly cared for it all through the years. Today I managed to receive the same jacket in the green (Forest Green?) from eBay, new with care tags. I know I received the original Q purchase in a box. This one came in a bag and it has some wrinkles. Since it is real suede, what is the best way to get it pressed? I am afraid to go near it with my steamer. If I take it to a really good dry cleaner, what instructions should I give them? I am thrilled to have this gorgeous jacket in the green. Happy to say I still wear the same size after 12. years! LOL1 I have read of where some folks press the suede using heavy brown paper to protect the suede. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! I can’t tell you how much I use. your blog for styling tips and trips down memory lane!
God bless! Hugs!
Dear Terri, in the manufacturing process of all suede garments they are pressed. A brown paper is a good idea….whether it be brown wrapping paper or a cut up paper bag. You should start on a lower heat and see if the wrinkles come out….if not gradually increase the heat….The other option is a good dry cleaner….but investigate if they have cleaned suede before. Do not have it cleaned unless absolutely necessary…..JUST PRESSED!
Thank you so much Louis! I am just thrilled to have this jacket in the green shade! I will definitely try the heavy brown bag with my lowest heat on the iron. Definitely will treat it with loving care!

Hello Louis
I was cleaning out my closet today and found so many of your wonderful clothes that I purchased from QVC
I have a black skirt suit and black dress along with several of your sweaters. I am saddened that you are no longer on QVC. Thank you for your fashions , do well made and are timeless
Hi Louis! My 45th high school class reunion was last weekend. I found your silk shantung jacket in blue and green on ebay, but hadn’t worn either yet. ( I was saving them…;-) ) I looked back through your posts and think its from May 2006. So I wore the blue jacket with black ponte slim pants and champagne tieks. (metallic light gold flats) Everyone LOVED the jacket and wanted to know where I got it. It was perfect! I just wanted to let you know your clothing lives on and gets “reincarnated”
Hello Louis,
I’ve seen you on QVC but never reached out…Now I have the forum…The BEST clothing designs EVER were by you! I only wore Ann Klein in the 70’s and 80’s…Oh what beautiful clothing, fabric, buttons….I saved some of the buttons…Still beautiful today. Thank you for making me one of the sharpest and best dressed in Chicago! My boss used to say I was the best dressed woman in North America!
Barbara S
Louis
I was smart enough to purchase 4 iterations of your short trench coat. Since I am only 5’3” your short trench is full length on me. It is cool in Chicago today, I will be wearing the navy blue trench with black trim. Your trenches are so classy, well styled and timeless. Thank you Louis!
Louis, when you have time…………go to the QVC Linea Forum. Brand new recent postings…..16 of how you are missed and what a bad decision on the part of QVC……………So nice to know you are a current topic!
Hi Louis,
Any chance a book of your sketches for Linea could be developed and sold by QVC? The sketches were always such a colorful and unique part of the fashion presentations. To pour over your art up close and in book form would be amazing.
Lori….I really don’t do direct business with QVC anymore. We have no communication. My silver jewelry is done through my Italian manufacturer. So to answer your question it is not a possibility.
Hello Louis,
I’m so happy to see your jewelry still appearing on QVC! Unfortunately I was late to the party on an item and wondered if they will be restocked? It is J407814, the 1 1/4″ hoop earrings. They are now only available in Rose – will they be restocked in the plain sterling? Thank you for continuing to bring us your beautiful designs – my closet is still full of your timeless pieces and I wish I could add to them. The offerings QVC has now are a poor comparison (in fact, I saw there was an Isaac beret listed in a recent show and, frankly, my blood boiled when I saw it!).
Heidi….I will ask if there is a plan to reorder. I will get back to you when I know…..You may want to look at the J414652….It’s a great earring…about the same size and presence, and light weight…..My lips are sealed about the beret……favoritism???
Heidi…..I am HAPPY TO REPORT, the Bold Hoop earring has already been reordered in ALL COLORS and should be avail sometime next week if QVC is on it!
Louis – thank you so much for checking and that’s FANTASTIC news! I will keep my eyes open….of course I also bought the rose gold in the bold hoops and the J414652 you suggested (sheapish grin)…a little something for every occasion 🙂
Oh Louis! Please fly out to Arizona and witness for yourself the deception and lies being peddled by our government and the media. It’s best not to say something so bias.
Rosemary….nobody comes out of this smelling like a rose…..but…..I’m really talking about the people that still think the election was rigged, and those that support what happened at the Capitol…..There just isn’t any justification for this…..Is there crap going on on both sides….absolutely…that’s politics and its been going on since Washington…..however this has reached new lows and its destroying our country.
Hello Louis,
I hope you are well and enjoying these pre-autumn days.
Thank you for sharing the delightful story of your meeting with Queen Elizabeth II.
❤️Irene
Louis
Your new gold mini ribbed hoop earrings arrived. The are so classy and substantive. I love them!
Louis
I am loving your gold double Pearl necklace. I am now going to buy the silver with gray pear version.
Joanne C,
That’s wonderful to hear Joanne….wondering….did you get the matching earrings?
No! I already own Pearl studs that will go with both.But really like wearing your gold 1 1/4 hoop gold earrings with the necklace. For the silver I am going to wear your silver anniversary earrings that I purchased to wear with the silver fez medallion. I am also eying your new mini hoops in gold and silver.
Where can I purchase your clothing? Not seeing much on QVC Just got to purchase one item!😥
I Love your women clothing designs.
I am praying for you!!! and that you will let me know where I can buy your clothes please!!! Thank you
Eternal Blessings

Dear Mr Dell’Olio,
I found your beautiful designs on QVC too late, as they foolishly ended your stay with them. Now I feel like Holly Golightly, nose to the glass window, seeing what I can’t get. When you have a spare moment, would you please suggest 3 key items I should have to get that Dell’Olio Look? I appreciate you.
Sincerely,
Sandra
Louis, Enjoyed your Facebook show today! Thank you per my request yesterday for showing the yellow gold polished leaf necklace, I had already ordered it and did not think it would arrive so fast from QVC. It arrived just prior to your show. It is a beauty! It looks classy, expensive/sophisticated! Best part is I in can wear it in the neck of a business suit as well as with more dressy apparel,
After seeing the double Pearl presentation, I also purchased that necklace in yellow gold with white Pearl. Do you remember your Linea Blazers in ivory and also black with those gorgeous gold and Pearl buttons. I also own the matching pants. My new double Pearl yellow gold necklace will be just perfect in the neck of both of those jackets. The necklace appears conservative and classy enough for business jewelry.
Joanne…that beautiful jacket with the gold and pearl buttons is going to look incredible with the necklace!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOUIS! I hope you have wonderful plans to celebrate. Where would all of your Linea & AK Ladies be without your genius and designs. You have such an incredible legacy. Party on… Love, Alyce
Designista- I have enjoyed all your reviews on all things Linea through the years. I miss Louis’s creations and your wonderful and detailed reviews.
How about an American flag necklace? I purchased a gold Anne Klein American flag necklace off of ebay. It wasn’t a “gold in your face.” Unfortunately I have misplaced it.
Hi Louis
Remember your wonderful windowpane silk and faux silk jacket/blouses. I own two in pink/black and white//black. I have an opportunity to purchase the yellow version in faux silk. Wasn’t the yellow faux silk version paired with Navy Blue instead of black. so yellow/navy blue.
I just love those jacket blouses in the summer. Thank you
Joanne C
Joanne,
I own the yellow faux silk version of this shirt and it is paired with navy blue and not black. I have the same shirt in the pink version paired with black. I owned several colors of the original silk version of this shirt, but gained some weight and I let them go.
Thank you Donna for answering my question. I ended up buying a brand new yellow version of the Linea shirt jacket in my size from Ebay. It is just perfect with a navy tank and navy pants. I also own the pink version which I love. Thanks again Donna
I purchased some pull-on slacks (Linea by Louis Dell-Olio) from QVC a while back. Only black was available at the time and so I purchased 5 pair and I still love them. I would love to be able to buy more and in a variety of colors. I am wondering if there are any new releases for similar slacks planned for QVC or any other sales outlet. These were the best slacks I have purchased in a long time. Thank you and I hope they become available again.
I also love all of Louis’s slacks and purchased multiples in blue, gray both shades and several in ponte as well as woven version of the slim ankle pants. Louis is a master tailor!
Hi Louis,
I know this not your problem but I thought you might like to know. I was looking forward to getting the new pearl earrings today. I opened the bag and there wasn’t a box only a black bag with your name on it. Inside were a pair of cz earrings in the shape of an eye. So disappointed. I reordered the earrings so I hope I get the right ones. Here’s hoping I get the right necklace.
Louis, I just received J 407814, the bold hoop earring. I ordered the yellow gold version but I love them so much that I’m going back for the silver. They are PERFECT. Lively, bold and a little sassy from a designer who’s very classy! LOL I received two items designed by you this week. I found a brand new-with tags heather gray whisper knit tank on ebay (something I have been wanting to match athe same color cardigan and pants) and the hoop earrings. It was like old times !!!!
So glad you love the earring….I think it’s perfect in every way. You’ll love the high polished silver just as much…..and it will look great with your heather grey Whisper Knits!! Do you have any of the silver necklaces or bracelets?
Yes, I have both silver bracelets and necklaces. I admit to being over indulgent where your jewelry is concerned. Don’t you remember several years ago I asked you to stop designing jewelry – because I had no room to store it all.
Donna….you will have to take over one of your husbands draws! LOL…..funny story….When Jac first moved into my apt. [she gave up hers because mine was bigger], I had two large walk in closets. My housekeeper, Lena, also did my laundry and hand pressed all of my shirts. She hung them in one of the closets by color, and made sure they didn’t touch each other so they wouldn’t get wrinkled. They hung like little cadets…..Well, this left little room for Jac’s clothes….so after weeks of her clothes being squeezed in on day she pushed all the shirts together and hung her things properly…I thought oh oh, Leana’s not going to be happy…..Lena wasn’t too pleased, but Jac needed room. Lena soon realized Jac was there to stay and reorganized the clothes so she was happy and Jac had room….You have to reorganize to make room for all of the beauties I have coming!!!!! LOL
I own those earrings in all three colors. I just love them. They have a stylish cool factor! I have also given them to a few of my friends as gifts. They also loved them.
