“November Whisper Knit #2” is A229721, the Kimono cardigan. The colors are……….BLACK…………IVORY…………….WALNUT……………….FUCHSIA………………..The cardigan is approx. 27 inches long and it has a 3/4 length sleeve. Yes, the WALNUT Whisper Knit will match all of your other walnut pieces. This is a relaxed garment but by no means is it over sized, so I would recommend you ordering your normal size. There are no buttons on this cardigan….it is very easy and wonderful as a year long garment. The other sweaters in the photos are all new and there will be sneak peeks on each one. This is similar to but not exactly like the kimono sweater with the emb. from seasons passed. If you loved that sweater you will love this one too. Now you have seen the two cardigans in this new WK group. They are very different in shape and attitude and I think will be an asset to anyone’s wardrobe. Again, these are great autumn, winter, spring and summer sweaters. They can be casual or dressy and can be accessorized accordingly. They also look great belted. As you all know, these WK pieces are perfect for travel as they are easy care and take little room when packed in your luggage. Remember these will not be a part of any show! They are only avail for on line ordering…………………………………………………………………………….

“November Whisper Knit #1” is A229715, THE ESSENTIAL CARDIGAN. I felt this was the right sweater to start the NEW WHISPER KNIT PROGRAM off with, because this is a cardigan many of you wanted me to bring back. You all remember the A217628 cardigan that sold out, had a huge waiting list and was never to been seen again. For some reason?????? it had a return rate that just went over the limit for it to become a reorder, but as I said the wait listers held on, got it and kept it. So for those that returned it…..this is the same cardigan…..NOTHING has changed, so you can save yourselves the aggravation by ordering and returning it again. For those of you who LOVED it and pleaded for me to bring it back…..it took lots of cajoling on my part to convince the buyers you really wanted it. It is EXTREMELY rare if ever that a discarded style is ever brought back exactly as the original……hence the new A number. When I say EXACTLY, I mean down to the button…..all the measurements were kept the same including the 26 inch length, and of course it is in the RAYON/NYLON WHISPER KNIT you all have fallen in love with …..for good reasons. The colors this go around are…………………….BLACK……………..VIOLET………………NAVY……………….TEAL………………and YES, the Violet and Teal will match your new Violet and Teal pieces. If you look at the QVC video of the HTC skirt…..Angela is wearing the Violet cardigan over an Ivory, short sleeve, scoop neck WK sweater [a new one coming in the program], the Violet jacket and the Violet/Black HTC skirt……..super CHIC………………..Please, also notice the new “Whisper Knit” label. From now on every sweater made in this particular Rayon/Nylon blend will have the “Whisper Knit” label. Do not be fooled by wannabees. There are many qualities of these yarns blended together………….the operative word being QUALITY. There are many different grades of yarn….the cheaper yarns are short fibers and will pill badly. The long fibers are kept for the best grade and are superior in every way. This holds true for all yarns especially CASHMERE. Think of it this way…..short yarns….short ends….frizz [pills]………long yarns……..undamaged ends……silky and smooth.

This is the first sneak peek of  “8” new styles in this Nov. program. Since this entire group will be sold “ON LINE ONLY”!!!! be on the look out. I am thinking mid to end Nov., but if I get any news you will be the first to know!

…………………………….For all of my east coast friends, be VERY careful these coming few days. Hurricane Sandy is to be taken seriously. I can’t believe I was supposed to go down to QVC for a 4am show on Tues.!!!! It was only last year that Jac and I literally took our lives in our hands and went to QVC during Hurricane Irene!!!………………………ENJOY & BE SAFE…………………….Much Love………….Louis

Birdie requested I post this picture again due to the less than pretty picture posted on the Linea site……and I am happy to do that. I do want you to know so there is no disappointment that the enamel station necklace has a shinier gold finish than the cross….so they are not an exact exact match…..which personally I prefer. They  look incredible together, and I know you will be pleased. The colors for both pieces are black, wine and olive [not sure what QVC is calling them]. I just came back from a day trip to R.I. to work in the jewelry factory with the wonderful people who take care of the Linea line and make sure everything comes out beautifully. As they get to know me and I get to know them better…..I know the product will only get better and better. They fully understand what quality I am looking for and that I am not happy with the norm and ordinary….that takes time and developing a working relationship. That is the reason I hopped on the train and stayed with them the day to go over all of the Spring developments and to work on all of the new fall 2013 program……if it all comes out as planned……….it will be the best yet…………….enjoy…………..much Love, Louis

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to give all of you a heads up…….my Oct. 30th 4am show has been canceled. This is a good thing!!! There isn’t enough inventory to justify a two hour show, even at 4am! Jac and I couldn’t be happier!! I will be seeing you on Nov.16th at 6am, Nov. 17th at 8am and Nov.19th at 7pm with some wonderful Holiday goodies. My next full show will be sometime in Dec. with lots of new, new, new! Don’t have the date or time yet.

Browsing through the Linea jewelry site, I noticed there are no colors photos for the PINK and NAVY pearls……….so I thought I would post my own pictures for those of you who are interested in these colors. The pearls are J264035 and are avail in the ……….PERFECTLY PINK……………. NAVY……………….. and the reorder GREY. I know many of you have asked for PASTEL fall colors, and even though I really didn’t do much pastel, except the PINK QUARTZ coat, I thought the pink pearls would be a wonderful way to satisfy your desire. I especially love the Pink WK sweater with the new hounds tooth skirt in the ivory/black combination…..finished off with the pink pearls. Since I do not have a matching pink pearl earring, I thought the gold demi hoop earring, J270391, worked well with the pearls. Also, in the photos above is the new NAVY pearls worn with the navy silk/cashmere Linea turtleneck and a pair of ivory trousers……….a very classy, timeless and chic look. These are also colors that can be worn all year. The grey, which was brought back by popular demand, is going to be even more important for Fall 2013….hint…hint……………………What great Christmas presents any one of these would be……………..Enjoy, much Love…………Louis
