Starting this week….and maybe even TONIGHT….the new ……..”LINEA PONTE”………OLO group will be posted on the Linea site for ordering. So many of you have been asking for a more CASUAL group of clothing from me……….well………..this is it………..LINEA STYLE!! ……….To start with it will consist of FIVE NEW STYLES……ONE JACKET…..THREE TOPS…..&…..ONE PAIR OF PANTS………….BUT to spice the offerings up even more there will be one more new piece that will be presented on my SEPTEMBER 25th two hour show. You all know the ponte quality by now…..It is the same as the PEPLUM TSV JACKET. For me it is the perfect cross over from DRESSY to CASUAL.

The first offering is the A237387……….the colors above are…………BLACK…..&………..WINE….They both have GUNMETAL TWO WAY ZIP FRONTS……..the inseam pockets have INVISIBLE ZIPPERS. If this jacket looks familiar …….IT IS!…..It is the same body as  A230025, the animal “TORTOISE” jacquard zip jacket that so many of you…..who have discovered it…..have fallen in LOVE with. The only difference is the fabric…..the jacquard fabric may be a little heavier due to the construction……………….This is your GLAMMED UP ZIP FRONT SWEAT SHIRT……wear it to the kids soccer games or to a Saturday night dinner or movie……..wear it grocery shopping ….or to church….wear it with jeans or the matching ponte pant….a pencil skirt or a maxi……this works for ANY and ALL life styles!……It is totally unlined as any casual sweat shirt jacket would be…..for total COMFORT….but…it still maintains that POLISHED LINEA LOOK………..This entire grouping was designed with YOU in mind, so I hope you can find a piece or two that you like…….scroll down for more…………………………………………………………………………………………enjoy…..much Love…..Louis

TWO more colors being offered in the A237387…….are the …………SAPPHIRE………..& ……….FORREST GREEN………No, they are not LAPIS or Spruce Green……..both have GUNMETAL ZIPPERS. Again….the TWO WAY zippers can both be a FASHION STATEMENT……depending how you ZIP or UNZIP them….as well as FUNCTIONAL…….DRIVING…..sitting on a PLANE…..zip or unzip as comfort requires. These are season-less jackets…..wear them now and all fall………and when Old Man Winter rears his head…..you can easily throw a coat over these jackets…..while you wait for spring to arrive again………..remember easy to pack and easy to care for…………………………………………………………………………………………enjoy…….much Love……Louis

Since the NEW SPRING PEARL COLORS have been posted for “wait list”, I thought you would like to see what they LOOK LIKE!!! There will be three new colors avail some time in Jan to early Feb. The colors….from left to right in the LARGE picture are……….MOCHA MIST……….BLUE MIST……………DRIFT WOOD……………….The Mocha Mist is a very soft Latte color…. a light chocolate…….the Driftwood is more of a pale CHAMPAGNE color…..and the Blue Mist is a pale blue with gray undertones…………they look wonderful worn together…..all three if you can carry it or just any two look marvelous…………of course singly they STAND ALONE and are quite beautiful…..There will also be a STUD EARRING, both clip and pierced to match each color and a set of THREE BRACELETS, in a smaller MM……one of each color to the set…..to be mixed or not….as you wish. You know the quality and they are the finest GLASS faux pearls……all knotted. This super long length can not be found anywhere!!!!! The length enables you to wear them a multitude of ways…..FLAPPER STYLE, which is wrapped around the neck…..once…..choker style and the rest hanging long…or knotted half way down……..or……DOUBLED……or……TRIPLED………or…… QUADRUPLED!!!!! These are unusual colors and were done just for……Linea!………

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

I have been reading your suggestions, and I am getting the message….that most of you  like neutrals. Other than a few of you who want the boho in some colors and one or two other items. It seems the majority want navy, ivory of a sort [beige, mocha etc], and gray. Most of the colors mentioned are not your typical “spring ” colors. My buyers are always pushing for color, but I’m not too sure my Linea Ladies are so colorful!…LOL, yes I know hits of color are important like the Fiesta colors, Butter Yellow always does well and out of all the Fiesta colors Aqua was the best of the “colors”, but the first colors to sell in both the WK and the FJ were navy, hemp, black [WK] and  smoke. Am I getting his message correctly?

HELLO EVERYONE……by now your packages should be showing up….at least I hope so. I also hope all of your expectations have been met and exceeded!…….NOW….I need you to forget fall for a moment and remember it’s still summer. I always appreciate your input on color suggestions for POSSIBLE reorders…..so I’m going to ask you once again for your color suggestions on POSSIBLE reorders for next spring/summer:

1-A233182, the button front ponte knit jacket & the A233183, ponte knit draw string skirt. The color has to be the same for both pieces

2-A233187,  the asymmetric hem button front tunic

3-223652, the lace button front jacket with patch pockets

4-A70208, the Boho skirt

5-A221808, notch collar blazer with front pockets

Again….these may or may not be reordered, but I want to be prepared………thanks, Louis
