Dear Louis,
I am devastated about Jac. Words cannot express the sorrow I feel for your loss. You have done so much for all of us, I wish we could do something to comfort you in return. Please know that each time a Linea Lady puts her arms in one of your garments, we will be sending you our love and support.

Dear Louis,
My heart is breaking for you. It was so clear that you & Jac shared a connection that so few are privileged to experience in this life. Your writing to Jac & talking with her is beautiful & necessary for you to do. You will continue to be strengthened by the deep love you shared, and, as she would want, reach out & embrace those who love you as she is present in them, as well. My prayers & warmest thoughts are with you & with time I hope you will be able to return to your designing as that, too, is a way to keep her heart & spirit burning bright. Know that there is so much support for you among we who have been witnesses to your beautiful story with Jac. Do all you can to care for yourself as Jac would want you to do.
Dear Louis,
My heart is very sad for you and the loss of your beloved Jac!
Words can not express the deep sympathy I extend your way.
Your words were true and eloquently expressed.
I send my prayers your way .
Sincerely,
Rita ( a Linea customer)
There are no words. Peace be with you.
Dear Louis,
My heart is broken and I am sobbing as I type these words. Jac was the epitome of beauty and grace and the loving relationship the two of you shared was inspirational. I cannot even imagine what loss you must be feeling. know it is of small comfort but you both have touched so many lives and in so many wonderful ways. Hundreds, if not thousands, of women today, who proudly call themselves Linea Ladies, are grieving with you today and tomorrow. Please feel our gentle support and love surrounding you in the days ahead.
Jules
Merry Christmas and God Bless!
On this Christmas night I am wishing you and Jac
a happy, healthy and sincere holiday ! I have never
written on your blog before but I have purchased many
lovely pieces of your clothes. I dress each day in at least
one Linea clothing item. I am hoping everything is alright.
You are a true gift to the fashion design world!
Sincerely, Rita
Louis – Along with your devoted Linea ladies, I wish you and Jac the Best of the Holiday Season. I am hoping the New Year brings you happiness and good health. Hope to see you soon.

ps once again I’ve packed my Linea and heading to Maderia Island away from the snow for 3 moths Will be watching and shopping
Dear Louis,
Thank you for sending so much beauty into our lives. All good wishes to you and Jac. Merry Christmas. Barbara
To: “Writer with flair”… I was searching for news of Louis and Jac and found your
Post if Louis’ Christmas Eve photos and messages from last year…. i think I found them posted on QVC Facebook, not sure. I was glad the writer posted them. Sincerely, Elizabeth Gabber, California
Ditto Elizabeth. I am not an official “Linea Lady” as I only recently began reading and following his blog.. although have purchased Linea for years and own in excess of 350 pieces. Maybe because of the frequency of his appearances on Q2 lately, therefore searching web and all, have begun to read and now obsessed. I love how much all of you Linea Ladies appreciate Louis and see I’ve really been missing out all these years. Thanks sooo much to the writer for past Christmas greetings…PRICELESS.
Thoughts and prayers to Louis and his family Hoping to see them again soon. Merry Christmas Louis …and all the LL’s!!!
All my prayers and good wishes go out to you and Jac this Christmas Eve. Merry. Christmas!
With much love, A
Merry Christmas Louis, Jac and the Girls. You are missed by many. Whatever the reason for the silence means your family needs time. I have the utmost respect for your privacy. You have given me joy for many years thru your designs, insight and just being a genuine person. I hope you find Joy soon.
Merry Christmas, Louis!! We miss you so much! If you are ill, or if Jac is ill, wishing all the best for a speedy recovery!
With much love,
TourEiffel
Dear Louis and Jac,
Sincerest good wishes and fervent prayers for both of you. You are in the hearts and minds of the Linea Ladies. Surely you know this.
We care very deeply about the two of you.
Maria (Goldie76)
Dear Louis and Jac,
I hope you’ve had a chance to read the good wishes and prayers the Linea Ladies have been heaping on you. I pray that whatever issue has caused your disappearance gets resolved soon and you’ll be back charming us once again.
We do love you.

Merry Christmas Louis and Jac!
Dear Louis,
On this Christmas Eve day, I’m thinking of you & Jac and wishing you all the blessings that truly matter in life–good health and the love of family and friends. You & Jac are treasures to all of us and will remain in our thoughts & prayers. Thank you for all you bring to our lives through your talent and kindness.
Merry Christmas to you, Jac, and the fur kids. Thank you for all you do for us, for your friendship, and endless patiences and good humor. We love you!
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and hoping for good things for you in the new year. Thank you both so very, very much for the wonderful clothing and jewelry we get to enjoy.
Taking a few minutes this Christmas Eve Day to wish a Merry Christmas to you, Jac and the girls. I count you as one of my blessings and am sending my prayers and good thoughts. And, to all the Linea Ladies, Happy Holidays! Louis, it’s been in the 70’s all this week, so I am glad that I have Linea for all weather. My only regret is that it’s been too warm to wear my cowl-neck swing sweater yet! If you would consider doing your classic t-shirt in scarlet down the road, that would be terrific for those of us with warm holidays.
Diamond/Deborah, I love that idea! I never know if it’s going to be cold or unseasonably warm (or just warm at someone’s house full of people celebrating the season) this time of the year. So, I would definitely pick up a red t-shirt and a backup to wear by itself or as a layer under cardigans.
Merry Christmas, Louis, Jac, and the girls, and to my sister Linea Ladies!
Julia/Qulia
Merry Christmas Louis, Jac and the girls. You and your wife are a class act and I appreciate all the dedication you have given to your Linea of clothing.
Happy Holidays to you Louis and Jac! I miss your presence on QVC and pray that you return soon. Pray that all is well!
Louis and Jac,
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and very Happy New Year!
Louis and Jac,
Wishing you a Christmas filled with peace, joy, and many wonderful blessings! Please know that you are appreciated and loved!
Louis and Jac-
Sending prayers and good thoughts your way for a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Peaceful New Year.
Wishing you & Jac a very Merry Christmas & a happy new year!
To Louis, Jac, and all of the Linea ladies, I wish peace, love, and blessings.
Dearest Louis and Jac,
I’m hoping you will be able to get this message. I am sending best wishes for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy new year. May you receive all the blessing that you both so very much deserve. May you find peace and love in all you do and know that all of us Linea ladies are here for you , no matter what . Have a very blessed holiday, Louis and Jac.
You both are in our hearts.
Louis and Jac,
I echo sending best wishes as many, many others have expressed. I also want to add that I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you back in front of the tv camera in 2018.
Hi Louis and Jac,
I just want to add my prayers and well wishes to the chorus of Linea Ladies that have already spoken. I know that in due time we will know whatever we’re meant to know. But what matters is not “the facts” of what has happened, it’s that we are all praying and/or sending positive vibes to you and Jac. We love what you both do as far as fashion goes, but more than that we all care about both of you as the wonderful people you are. Peace be with you both, and your family.
Keeping the faith….
I thought long and hard about sending you this greeting. I am wishing you, Jac and your family a Merry Christmas and a very HAPPY and HEALTHY New Year. May all of your dreams and wishes come true. As we have discussed in the past, you have each other’s love so you both are already ahead of the game. The New Year should only bring good things for all of you. What more is there to say!
Louis I am a big believer in privacy. If, someday you choose to share with us what has happened that’s fine. And if, you do not want to share what has happened that’s o.k. too. No matter what life throws our way one thing that is constant is friendship. You and Jac are in my thoughts everyday. You are missed.
Victoria,
You’re right on. We’ve showed him how much we care. Now we’ll just wait.
I think we should stop asking for reassurances and wait. Clearly something profound has occurred and talking to us, no matter how much we care about them…must take second place to what has occured in their lives.
Victoria,
In my book, your words are pure wisdom.
No offense meant to anyone else who has a different take on this. There are different ways of approaching this, and I fall into Victoria’s camp. That’s all.
I am thinking, too, that whatever happened is so mighty that there has been no quick resolution for the Dell’Olio’s. Plus, they will probably elect to offer a minimal explanation when and if they choose to inform us of what happened a week ago. We should not expect more.
Victoria1 I totally agree with you. Thank you.
Hi Linea ladies, Is it possible that Louis and Jac have gone to some lovely island away for the holidays and we just worry too much? But it would be nice to be sure the’re ok. He wrote canceled on some of the shows on the home page. I think QVC has changed, and my bets are there. I’d feel a lot better if Louis would say hi to us. I’ve been watching videos of him showing older items, and he had dark brown hair in the pictures with Donna Karan.
Love to the Dell’Olio family from an admiring fan, I’m older than you Louis. Eluzabeth Gabber
My sentiments exactly.
Louis, just say hi. We are worried .
We all are here for you. We love you and Jac and need to hear
that you two are well and okay.
This is SO not the norm
We’ll be waiting and praying.
Adding my prayers to all of the other linea ladies.. May God Bless you and Jac.
Thinking of you and Jac and hoping that we will hear from you soon.May God bless.
Louis I’m a huge fan!! All your fashionistas are really worried about you & Jac!! Please let us know how you’re doing. I hope & pray that everything works out.God bless you both!! Merry Christmas!!
Louis, sending prayers your way to you and Jac.We all really missed you on the big deal, but more importantly, we miss you on here.I pray you are healthy and home for Christmas. You both mean so much to all of us.I wish the very best to you both.
Everyone in the community of Linea is hoping, and praying, that you and Jac are OK. You have created a strong bond with us that is quite an amazing thing, and the concern for you both that we all are feeling is remarkable and real. Wishing you both a happy Christmas and New Year.
Sending good thoughts, prayers, and positive mojo to you, Jac, and the Girls. You truly are a treasure to so many of us.
Louis
Praying all is well. Please just let us know you and Jac are okay.
All of us true Linea ladies are in your corner and are a bit worried.
We send love and respect. We miss you terribly and have your back.
Dear Louis and Jac
Sending prayers and well wishes.
Dear Louis, both you and Jac are in my thoughts and prayers.
Louis,
I am thinking of you and Jac. Sending my prayers and good thoughts for both of you. On a minor note, I will be wearing Linea for my daughter’s California wedding reception at our home on Dec. 23. You and Jac are so special to so many.
Love, Diana
Louis – just another concerned “friend” of yours and Jac’s missing you and hoping you will be back online again soon. Obviously something has happened – and not good – so all we can do is pray. You are both in my prayers. It’s amazing – so many of us have never met or even spoken with you, but you are so dear to us, like a good friend. At least we have this forum to communicate. We are your “Linea Ladies”!!
Just a footnote that this is not a QVC Blog site.
Miss you Louis
You and Jac are in our prayers.
Just adding my voice to the chorus of those who are concerned about you and Jac and sending so much love and many thoughts and prayers. Please be well.
Jules
we are all concerned – for you and for Jac. just know that. prayers up that all is/will be well.
Hi Louis,
Really missed your presence on the QVC Big Deal shows this week. It just wasn’t the same without you! Hoping you both are taking care of yourselves and we will be able to hear from you soon! I received my sweaters today and they are just awesome!! You are such a masterful designer! They make every woman look great including myself,if I may be so bold. It’s no wonder that the models and hosts had such glowing reviews during their presentations. Best wishes to you and Jac for this holiday season! Please know that you are in our thoughts and have our prayers for only the best for you both!
Sending extra love and extra prayers!!!
Where did the other 120 msgs regarding Louis’absence go? Louis, I missed you MUCH from your shows and regardless of why, YOU will always be my favorite designer on on QVC and beyond…And I will support and purchase Linea wherever. Love and prayers to you and yours
Was just thinking too, if it is a QVC issue,you can always start your own website…seems to be working great for a certain former host. Maybe you could even sell on her page…😉just trying to lighten the mood…again ‘a hug and a kiss’
I asked 5 different customer service people where you were. They didn’t appear to know. If ever you’re a free agent, I’d be thrilled to buy from you. But we enjoy seeing you and Jacque live. Jayne Brown at least is knowledgeable in how clothes are made, but she isn’t you. I too wonder who has deleted our messages to you. I counted the days until your Big Deal came on and it would be lovely to anticipate your next visit. I like your petite pants, and I wish I had stocked up on all three styles of ponte knit pants. You make me look good, and your designs are glorious. We dressed like that in Ohio in the 1950’s. I believe I’m just a few years older than you, but Ohio and Pennsylvania ladies dressed well. New York too of course. I went to Bucknell University.
Sincerely, Elizabeth Gabber, Salinas, CA.
Elizabeth, this section of Louis’s site starts a new page whenever the previous page is full. The previous page just “disappears.” It’s been this way since the beginning, so you don’t have to be concerned that someone has deleted our messages. Mine was the first message and it is gone, unless hopefully Louis has access to the pages that disappear.
Thank you Yvette..from Elizabeth
Sending my prayers this holiday season
Louis, I hope you are okay. You have never missed a presentation of your creations. No one else can create the magic that you bring to us. I always look forward to the days when your shows are on the air. Know that you and Jac are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish the best for both of you. 💗
