    Hi Louis, The A290929 pebble crepe tunic with pleated back has been listed with some new colors, one of which is “Stream” but there are no photos of the new colors. I’m wondering if you could describe “Stream” so I can have an idea of the hue of this blue. Thanks, Ruth

    1. louis dell'olio

      Dear Ruth look at the video of the Exotic Floral cold shoulder top. Kate is wearing the Stream crop pant with the Rhubarb top.. It’s a pale blue with a touch of Aqua and a slight touch of gray. A sky blue. It’s a blue I haven’t done before.

      1. Ruth

        Thank you. It looks beautiful.

  2. Carolyn Muse

    Dear Louis, I am so sorry for your loss of Little Annie. Please know that my prayers and much love are with you always. God will give you strength.

    Louis! A total change of subject! What did you think of the Met Gala, last evening? Were there any gowns that you cared for? I thought the theme was a little on the strange side as well as most of the gowns. My favorite was Amal Clooney not that it related to the theme but I thought it to be very pretty. There was a photo of Brooke Shield and she looked, truly, lovely. She was in a Zac Posen, simple, regal, elegant. Like Anna Wintour, too. I thought Frances McDormand was hysterical, she was the one with the head and face covering. I was a little disappointed, I,normally, look forward to it. oxoxo Cat

    1. louis dell'olio

      Honestly, I haven’t seen much publicity. It has become a costume show. When Jac and i used to go it was elegant, and yes grand. The guest list has changed. It used to be about the beautiful people of NYC and the Fashion Designers. There aren’t any Socialites at these events anymore. Maybe I’m just getting older, but for me it’s lost all it’s glamour.

      1. Somersault

        Louis, you are so right!

      2. Elaine

        Dear Louis, I couldn’t agree with you more, it’s a complete bore.
        Gone are the days of Pat Buckley, Nan Kempner and their friends who raised money for the “house that Diana built”.
        We have you to look to for fashion we want to be seen in!
        Thank you,
        Elaine

    I am deeply sorry to hear about little Annie. She may be gone but, just like Jac, she will continue to be with you. Life is curious. You are still here for a reason. The strong ones stay so you have work to complete. Blessings to you, Annie, and Jac.

    I don’t know you so I have consideration that I’m being too personal but living life is valuable sI I am simply expressing what is in my heart. Please continue to take good care. Blessings from one of your many Linea ladies.

  5. cancun08

    Louis, I am so very sorry for you on the loss of your precious Annie.

  6. Debbie M.

    Louis, my heart is breaking for you on the loss of your Annie. Take care and God bless.

  7. Pamela DiMarino

    Dear Louis, I am so very sorry for the loss of your Annabelle. I agree that there are no coincidences, as to the timing of her going over the Rainbow Bridge, and love the thought that she and Jac are together again. As a life-long dog-lover, I am praying for you in this very painful time that you know you are loved and receive the grace of courage.

  8. Barb

    I love your super ponte fabric–any idea on when your straight leg pants will be back?

  9. Karen in WI

    Louis, I was listening carefully to your recent shows and I believe I heard not one, but two mentions of an upcoming peasant shirt? I was just wondering if this shirt was a short sleeve?

    I hope you are enjoying the lovely spring weather. I am sitting on my porch swing, drinking in the blessings of a warm breeze and thoughts of summer flowers. What kind of summer flowers did Jac plant? Love and hugs!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Karen, when the pansies are finished we alway bought mixed colorful flowers to take their places. Jac remembered all of their names, unfortunately I do not, but when the time comes I will recognize them. Lobelia rings a bell if they are the blue delicate flowers.

    2. Louis Dell'Olio

      The peasant shirt has a 3/4 sleeve

      1. Karen in WI

        I hope you will post a picture when you are done planting. I really do feel that gardening is healing.

  10. Seka

    Louis, what are the colours in the Navy Floral Boho Skirt , please – have seen the Port in some of your other Sneak Peeks and on air as well but there are no Q photos – just wondering! Have the Black and Poppy from last year – love – and will add either the Port or Navy.
    Seka.

    1. louis dell'olio

      The navy is all neutrals, tans, khakis and blues….a little olive in the leaves. The Port and Navy look totally different.

      1. Seka

        Thank you, Louis – I am going to order the Navy!
        Seka.

  11. nikki

    Louis, I love the wildflower print skirt in the black and the rubarb. I missed out on the robin’s egg blue tank, what other top would you recommend with the rubarb skirt? would the new turquoise waist whittling tank work with the rubarb skirt?

    1. louis dell'olio

      nikki, the colors in the rhubard skirt are all softer then the V-neck tanks, but the rhubarb color is strong enough to handle these stronger top colors

  12. nikki

    Louis, I love the wildflower print skirt in the black and the rubarb. I missed out on the robin’s egg blue tank, what other top would you recommend with it? would the new turquoise waist whittling tank work?

  13. Frieda

    Hi Louis,
    As I was thinking of all of the Linea clothes that I have, I wondered what were some of the first items that you brought to QVC. I think the first Linea item I bought was a boxy, silk window pane check top. It came in many colors and was very pretty, timeless and versatile. I sometimes wear them as a jacket and other times as a blouse. Whoa, I have 5 of them!

    1. louis dell'olio

      Dear Frieda, that was a very popular timeless SILK shirt/jacket. The price of the fabric skyrocketed so we had to discontinue the style.

      1. Carol

        Frieda, I have 8! LOL Talk about timeless. They look as fresh today as they did years ago when we bought them. I think they were one of my first Linea purchases, too.

  14. gapeach

    I got my new Carnival Necklaces yesterday, and they are even better looking than they show on QVC. I have the blue, green and aqua ones, and I can already tell they are going to be some of my go-to jewelry, like the Pompeii sets. I think lately, I am buying as much Linea jewelry as I am clothes. Just a tribute to your design creativity and beautiful styles. Can’t wait to see what’s coming up. Maybe the buyers are beginning to realize how much women who like gorgeous classics in what they wear, are selling out so many of your items.

    I am very grateful you have your blog to let us know what you’re presenting ahead of time. I woke up May 2nd, went to the QVC website, and fortunately, they had put the upcoming items to buy, so I could do that, and then sit back and enjoy the show. (By the way, Jennifer is a natural to present your styles.)

    I am on my way to the QVC forum to give my glowing reviews to all I bought–3 necklaces, embroidered striped shirt in blue, and the blue tie-dye skirt.

    Now all I need to do is wait for your next presentations.

    Hi, Louis…Loved your recent shows, and great to see you looking so well. Is there any way you could convince the buyers to bring back A239321? It’s my face pair of skinny pants/leggings, and so old they’re looking a little tired 😉

    Stephanie

    1. louis dell'olio

      I’m not sure what A239217 is? Wen i go to the Linea site is just says sold out and no picture.

      1. Margo

        Many thanks, Louis! Sorry, it was A239321…a slim leg pull on pant that was more like a legging. It had a stitched down waistband, about an inch and a quarter, and the fabric content was your ponte knit. 78 poly, 18 rayon, 4 span. Label says RN90133, whatever that means. Love that pant, and it’s worn so well! Very versatile.

        1. louis dell'olio

          Margo….those pants are quite old. They are not coming back.

          1. Stephanie

            Oh, that’s a shame! They’re such a staple and still in style. Will the slim leg ponte pant that’s currently online be back in black? That’s the closest thing to it.

            1. louis dell'olio

              Stephanie, I don’t know about that style? If it does return it would be for Spring 2019

  16. Margo

    Hi Louis,

    Loved your recent shows, and great to see you looking so well!Is there any way you could please convince the buyers to bring back A239321? It’s such a great basic, my favorite pair of pants/legging, and getting really threadbare ;-)t
    Stephanie

      1. Melissa W

        Be sure to look at the name it says next to “welcome back”. For some reason it sometimes changes on its own. I’ve accidentally posted under someone else’s name. And I believe someone posted under my name once.

        1. Stephanie

          Thanks, Melissa W!

  17. Shari

    Hi Louis
    I have a question about the Wild flower ruffle skirt.
    Do you think I could successfully make my skirt shorter without interrupting the lines or fit of the skirt? I’m thinking, if I took it up about 4″ from the top ,being it is a pull on style, this might work, but I don’t want the ruffles to get to high either, Any ideas?
    I need to shorten, because my legs are so short and the skirt as is makes me look stumpy

    1. louis dell'olio

      Shari…I think you should roll the skirt or pull it up to the length you want and tie an elastic around your waist so you can get a true feeling of what it would look like. That way you don’t have to cut anything before you decide. Then if you like it bring it to a seamstress/tailor and have them shorten from the waist. That is actually an uncomplicated alteration

      1. Shari

        Excellent idea with the raising it up and tying an elastic FIRST!!
        Thanks for the tip!!

        1. Shari

          Louis,
          Tried your idea this afternoon. It’s a go. I have a wonderful tailor I have used for a few things and I know she will do a great job.
          Thanks again for the tip.

          1. Louis Dell'Olio

            Great news

  18. Andrea

    I’m on waitlist for the denim dress in SP. It now says sold out. Do you think I’ll get the dress.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Andrea, I honestly don’t know. It would seem to me that it sold out beyond what they would expect for wait list.

  19. Joanne

    Hi Louis
    Do you know when the reorder of the Aztec Necklaces will be available?

    On another front great shows! So much fun when you show new seasons! I purchased the dusk, black, ivory of the tunic top/georgette border as well as the pull on pants/georgette border. I love monochromatic dressing. I believe these outfits can be dressier as well as more casual and perfect for traveling. I also purchased the new whisper knit v neck sleeveless top with ribbing in ivory and turquoise. I think the ivory sleeveless ribbed top as well as the ivory tunic with georgette border will look great with the ivory pants and ivory blazer sold by you about two months ago.

    1. louis dell'olio

      The Aztec will be in June.Your outfits sound perfect.

  20. Sara

    Hi Louis, your shows have been amazing as always, and I have been shopping with your for the past 15 years. While I love whisper knit and own an entire closet of it, I am hoping that you will bring back a fabric that you used on item # A203504 and A229714. I own the jacket in pink, black and eggplant and the skirt in black and eggplant. I love this fabric so much and have been hoping for years that it would return. Please let me know if it is a possibility.
    Thank you and keep bringing the most sophisticated fashions and highest quality to the Q.

    Much appreciation,
    Sara

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Sara, that jacket was beautiful, but the price of the fabric has increased way beyond what I can spend to maintain a descent price

  21. Grace

    Dear Louis,
    Love the new maxi dress! I ordered all three colors, but couldn’t wait to get my hands on one, so sprung for expedited shipment of the blue fog! The fit is perfect in my usual size (medium) and that fabric is really wonderful…substantial, yet light and drapey. (Hope we’ll see more of it.) I’m really thrilled to see these longer lengths and I’ve scooped up every color in the two maxis you’ve created for us this year. And, if I heard you right…two more are on the way, so yippee. I dutifully wrote my reviews.

    1. louis dell'olio

      Hi Grace so glad you like this new fabric! It’s so hard to describe a fabric on air! you really had to touch it and put it on to realize how wonderful it really is.Actually,there are 3 more dresses coming……A fabulous MIDI in Moss Crepe, in very interesting unusual colors, an Island Floral print MAXI, and short swing new gauze dress.

      1. Grace

        That is good news, Louis! This has become the season of the dress and irresistible jewelry–you are spoiling us!

  22. Ruth

    Hi Louis,
    Your shows and hits were so informative and entertaining. I’m really looking forward to receiving the lovely clothes I ordered.
    I could not seem to find the way to participate on Facebook. Could you or Jennifer post the link to make that connection.
    Thanks so much,
    Ruth

    1. louis dell'olio

      Since I don’t have a clue, I forwarded your message to Jen.

      1. Ruth

        Thank you!

  23. Somersault

    Louis, loved your shows! They were fabulous as always. Wanted to give a shout out to Jennifer. Appreciate all her efforts on social media. Love the reminders on facebook, too and the interactive facebook page while you are on live! The exposure is wonderful for you. There was someone new last evening that was not familiar with Linea and asked how it was as compared to Denim & Co. Of course, my comment was: “there is no comparison, Linea is superior”, just means that you are being introduced to even more Linea Ladies. Yeah!!!! oxoxo Cat

    1. louis dell'olio

      Good to hear….thanks so much!

    2. Jennifer

      Good morning, Cat! Thank you so much in jumping on the Facebook Live Chat!! Your comments were outstanding! Everyone had so many great comments and it was so fun to interact during the show!

  24. Kate

    Of course you know this, but the new colors of the seed bead necklaces are truly spectacular. I ordered pink, amber and red–they arrived today. The pink is so etherial but just a bit edgy too (how DO you do that?). The red is the exact shade I was hoping for–a rich red that’s neither too blue nor too orange. Perfect and super classy. And the black and amber? If there were ever a necklace to throw over a pair of jeans and tee for that “just hopped off my private plane back from Italy” meme, this is it. I love them even more than the one’s from last year, which is really something. Thank you for all you do for us. (P.S. Do I need the blue? Well, Kate, of course you do. And so, she went off to order.)

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Kate….need you ask???.It’s fabulous!!!,!

  25. Melissa W

    Great show with Jane! She looked beautiful in that pink top!

    Was glad to see the assymetrical tanks back. Ordered olive and port this time. Great for Florida!

    The waist whittling top in green is so pretty! Got that and ivory. Debated too long which carnival necklace I wanted. When I decided I wanted orange, it was gone. Oh well. At least I have the Mardi Gras one. And at least I could still get the khaki nugget one.

    Also caught the presentation of the dress at lunchtime. Can’t wait to get my prune. The night before I woke up about 3am so I logged into my phone to see if the dress was available yet. It was, so I ordered it and went back to bed. Glad I did because my size is now gone.

    I have received so many items the last few months, my credit card is burning. But I’m looking pretty good if I do say so myself. Thanks to Linea!

    1. Nancy

      Dear Louis,
      I was touched by the time and consideration you gave to another “Nancy” who called last night when you were on the air. She was plus size, and wanted to know what you thought of her wearing your black top with chiffon border for her daughter’s wedding. She was retired, and not able to buy as much as before. You told her that the top was a smart purchase and discussed its versatility, and assured her it was dressy enough for the mother of the bride because of its chiffon border. You brought Linda front and center to show how it looked on a larger frame, and you even brought Jen out to show how it would look with the trouser pants she was wearing. Your taste, assurance, and careful consideration of her situation touched me and shows that you care about all of your customers, even those with less to spend. You are a truly wonderful person and an amazing designer. I think you are a national treasure! Thank you for all you do for all Linea ladies. Nancy

      1. Louis Dell'Olio

        Dear Nancy she was such a sweet lady, I couldn’t do anything else but be kind to her.

      2. Goldie76

        Amen to that. He makes us feel so polished with all the help with his help in wearing the total look. He is a treasure for sure.

      3. Frieda

        I too, thought it was very touching. Thank you Nancy for your post and thank you Louis for your sensitivity.

  26. Melanie Thiel

    Dear Louis,
    I want you to know how much I love your line and have been a faithful consumer since you first started at QVC. I look and feel good in them and love your styles.This issue is not really with your clothing but I feel you need to be aware of it.
    My last item from you ,a soft peplum knit top,came in triple folded in a plastic bag and so wrinkled that I felt i could have been given a returned item.Now I have to iron it before I wear it!
    For $50 I can do better in shipping from Talbot’s,Macy’s and Lands End.
    I have emailed customer service but want you to know directly.
    This is unacceptable and is not the first time either.
    I also want to express my sorrow at the loss of your sweet wife and some happiness that you are beginning to come out of the wilderness and I hope you have peace and happy thoughts soon.
    Thank-you for your blog as I needed to tell you directly.(I also was one of the people who fought to keep you on QVC!!)
    Melanie Thiel

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Hi Melissa “W”, you did vey well! Sorry you missed the Carnival Necklace. They really bought too few!

      1. Melissa W

        They never bring enough jewelry! I feel so lucky to get pieces before they sell out – like the scythe necklaces (gunmetal and copper). Hopefully the Q will learn soon!!

    2. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Melanie, sorry about your experience. Honestly, I have heard this story repeatedly! I have told my many “buyers” about the complaints I have received, but nothing seems to happen. I can assure you we do not ship our apparel to QVC this way. They are very strict about the manner we ship to them. All I can say is they should practice what they preach. I will once again forward your comment, but I doubt very much that anything will change.

  27. Karen in WA

    The shows are wonderful! I have ordered soooo much. But I wanted to tell you; We have a cable station here called Decades, it shows all old shows from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s. last night I was watching Dick Cavette interviewing Dick VanDyke about a movie he released in 1974. (sad movie) He showed a film clip and the actress playing the wife was wearing “our” FISH! I didn’t get a real close look, but it was an articulated fish about the same size (maybe a little fatter). Could this have been yours? Maybe it was before your time. Did you have an AK fish? (I have him in every finish :-).

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Karen, yes the Fish was originally done for an Anne Klein cruise collection, about 30: years ago!

      1. Ruth

        I recently saw a 1990’s Anne Klein necklace with seven articulated fish hanging from a chunky gold chain on 1st Dibs – asking price $900.00! Your designs hold their value – aesthetically and financially!

  28. Seka

    Louis, Will the New Colours in the Floral Boho Skirt (Port and Navy) – be presented during your 2 hour Show on May 3rd on QVC2.

  29. Susana

    Hi Louis – anything new coming in your pebble crepe fabric? That fabric is genius!

    1. julie

      I agree Susana & I’d love to know too!

      The pebble crepe boatneck tunic is supposed to be coming back but I don’t know when.

      1. Louis Dell'Olio

        The boat neck is coming back , and the ballet swing tunic, but no new styles the swing will now be offered in petite

        1. Susana

          Yay!

  30. Debby

    Just ordered the A29378 cardigan, blackis it the same material and black as the A290988 dress I already own? Always look forward to your shows!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Debby. The dress you have is a different gauze. A276299 is the same fabric. It’s the gauze Crepe.

      1. Debby

        Thank you so much. Taking the time to answer our questions is very special and, it’s appreciated as much as your outstanding designs!

  31. Rosemary

    will A302939 be returning? More colors?SZ

  32. Karen in WI

    Dearest Louis…I’m all set to watch your shows this evening and am very much looking forward to it! I thought i would choose the turquoise Big Deal, but then I saw Kate in the green….that shade of green looked so good on her.

    I am still patiently waiting for the aqua nugget necklace to go with my beautiful Caneel shirt. You said it’s coming so I’m not worried.

    Have a wonderful day and see you in a bit! Hugs and love.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Karen, the Caneel Blue Necklace IS coming. The packages were miss marked and were not accepted by QVC. They were sent to RI to be re-labeled and are now back at the Q so they just have to be processed and photographed. Hopefully the end of this week or next. You never know with the Q.

  33. Suzy

    Louis

    Might you have a print dress coming my way? Colors?

    1. Seka

      Suzy – if I may respond as I also asked Louis about his Maxi Dresses earlier – there is a Floral coming – I don’t know when – and I don’t know the colours – but I’m sure it will be beautiful!

      louis dell’olio
      March 11, 2018 at 11:08 PM
      The maxi is a sleeveless placement print floral………..

    2. Louis Dell'Olio

      Yes, a sleeveless Maxi coming in June.

  34. Somersault

    Louis, be safe as you drive, today! We, your ladies, have much to be grateful for since QVC has ramped up your schedule. It’s a delight for us but so much work for you even with Jennifer’s help. Looking forward to all the new, fabulous goodies and of course, your smiling face. You will be wonderful! Jimmie says: “go get ’em, kid” oxoxoxoxo Cat

  35. Elizabeth Gabber

    Louis my reference to Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy classic love songs was meant to show up on the page about Jac’s Tree. But I know you don’t mind where it showed up. Elizabeth G.

  36. Elizabeth Gabber

    You and Jac remind me of « Sweethearts” and “Maytime,” lovers who would always be together in Paradise. Love, Elizabeth G.

  37. Pamela

    Hi Louis or Jennifer, hope all goes well this trip. Am ordering already but need clarification if at all possible…the cropped pants inseam, is this to the end of chiffon? I ask because it seems a bit shorter than usual. Deciding which to get. Thanks so much! Pamela in the sunny south.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Pamela, the measurement should be to the bottom of the chiffon

      1. Pamela

        Thanks so much! Quite the early bird. You’re amazing kind sir!

      2. Joanne

        Thanks Louis. Pamela and I both needed that information about pant inseam. I just ordered the dusk, ivory as well as black tunic and crop pants with the georgette border. I hope i was right on the size. I hate stalking.

  38. Seka

    Maxi Dress – Striped Embroidered Shirt – Tie Dyed Boho Skirt – Carnival Necklace – Crop Pant & V Neck Top with Georgette Hem – are all posted on the Q and available to order!

      1. Pratt

        Thank you so much for the heads up. I only see the necklace and the skirt. Where do you see the rest?

        1. Pratt

          Found them now. Thanks.

  39. Pratt

    HI Louis, I recently began wearing your line of clothes and jewelry, and I must say I am truly wowed. The fabric, cut, proportions are so flattering and it’s been hard to find anything like that in stores these days. I love watching your shows for all the great styling ideas you give and the models look so sophisticated and polished with you styling them. I am eagerly waiting for the upcoming shows this week. Thank you for all that you do 🙂

    I just ordered the fish necklace and lilac nugget necklace (to go with the prune dress).

    I have been looking at the qvc website everyday to see if more ponte pants are back in stock (I missed them all last time and could only purchase the alabaster – which feels substantial and so comfortable.. i want more). Are they going to come back? And I also saw that the trench coat is on clearance and that means it isnt coming back? Are there going to be any coats this year? I love the trench that is sold out in my size!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Pratt…
      You have a very interesting name. Is it Dutch? Welcome to Linea. Sorry you missed the trench, but I am doing the almost the exact same coat in the same fabric in a long length. It will also be avail in Petites. Oct is the due date.

      1. Pratt

        Thank you for your reply 🙂 Great to know there is a trench coming, yay!

        My name – It’s actually Prathyusha, meaning – early morning light (am from India). Most people find it really hard to pronounce/read my name so I started using a short name Prat until I learned that Prat means foolish or a person’s derriere, haha. Hence added an extra t.

  40. JBCinSD

    Will the beautiful embroidered blouses be shown this visit?

    1. louis dell'olio

      Yes on the 5/2, 6pm, QVC1 show….it’s the last item in the show.

  41. Melissa

    A continued thank you as I am still thrilled about discovering Linea. I have spent more tIme in my closet than I have in years. I love each and every Linea piece that have been added. Each new Linea item causes me to release an older, non Linea item. It’s exciting.

    1. Melissa

      FYI, I’m not sure if this is another case of the wrong name posting or not. But this is Melissa (from Florida) who posted the necklace comments previously. I did not post the above comments. Don’t want you to think I was bombarding the Ask Louis section! Lol

      1. Louis Dell'Olio

        It’s OK Melissa, I always think it’s you. Maybe I should use a last initial so I know it’s you

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          I meant maybe YOU should use a last name initial so I will always know it’s U

            Ok. Testing. Melissa W is Melissa in FL. But I’m still not sure if that will resolve the problem if my info shows up for someone else, as it’s done for me before. Anyway. Can’t wait until your shows!!

  42. CarlyTwila (aka Susan)

    Hi Louis!
    I see that A254439 is back in Black, plus two new colors, Olive and Port. Will these be on your upcoming shows? This is THE coolest top for the dog days of summer!
    Susan

    1. louis dell'olio

      Yes Susan, it will be on my new shows, but don’t ask me which. Everything is packed up and I just don’t remember. At this point my head is spinning.

  43. Melissa

    One more question Louis, if you have time.

    Does the royal blue seed bead necklace go with the admiral blue maxi dress?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Melissa, I checked the necklace to the dress and no, I don’t like them together. The blue of the dress has too green in it to go with the Royal Blue seed beads.

      1. Melissa

        Thanks so much for checking Louis! I really appreciate it. 😊

  44. Melissa

    Louis,

    I was never really into fashion jewelry before Linea came into my life. I had a few pieces that were gifts, but it just wasn’t something I shopped for. In fact, I don’t really like to go shopping much at all anymore. Besides shopping on QVC for Linea, there are only a few stores I like to shop at. I avoid the malls. I digress…

    Today I am wearing your dusty lilac safari shirt with the lilac nugget necklace and earrings. Love!!! I initially got the necklace to go with the upcoming prune dress, I don’t usually wear necklaces with the safari shirts. But not today, I love the combo! I’m stepping out of my box. I’m going to have to purchase the khaki one too. Maybe even the caneel blue…(love the latest colors of the safari shirt!)

    All your jewelry is beautiful, but certain pieces speak to me and work better with my lifestyle. I don’t get to dress up much anymore. My weekends are devoted to where I can take the dogs. 🙂
    These nugget necklaces are awesome! I also received the Arcadia necklace – wow! So cool. Loving the wood, looking forward to the Yosemite one. I have the gorgeous green patina Etruscan necklace, and the other three colors on their way. I was lucky to get the chocolate petal necklace. I can’t remember what else I’ve received lately, my Linea jewelry boxes are overflowing.

    Just curious, which is your favorite finish on the upcoming Inca necklace? Looking forward to that as well.

    Can’t wait for your shows this week!

    1. louis dell'olio

      Melissa….that’s like asking me who my favorite puppy is. The minute I make that declaration I would feel badly for the rest. I see the Inca earring in the Copper Ox is already sold out.

      1. Melissa

        LOL! Fair enough. You made me chuckle though. We have six dogs (three are mine) so I can definitely relate to not wanting to answer that question.

        I love your copper pieces – have the scythe necklace. Was initially drawn to the brass Inca, but it’s hard to decide! I love having choices, but sometimes there are too many. I’m very indecisive!

        Thanks for answering, kind of. 😄

        1. louis dell'olio

          Brass is good….go with your first choice especially if you have the copper scythe.

          1. Melissa

            Thank you!

  45. Yoko

    Linea Leisure by Louis Dell’Olio Short Sleeve Tee. A225482

    This is a favorite of mine. You may think it unusual that I like this tshirt so much. But a very good tshirt is almost impossible to find. Thank you so very much for this top. I have it in every color and several black, navy and white ones. The navy from last year is sold out, hope you bring navy back next year.

    Now I have one more wish—this exact top in a scoop/ballet neckline. I’d like the addition of a softer more feminine neckline to wear with skirts. A sweetheart neckline is actually my very favorite tshirt style. But I do not find them. Maybe this is too hard to make?

    I am very glad you have received the gift of Jennifer just at the right time to help.

    1. Karen in WI

      I have been wanting a good, basic T with a scoop/ballet neckline too Yoko! It is my favorite neckline and maybe with some shaping or a curved bottom? Louis, you make the best T-shirts and I love to wear them with all my summer skirts.

    2. Sheesh

      I agree—a ballet neckline would be great!

  46. Lisa Ann

    Hello Louis,

    Can you please tell me if the Multi Strand Long Bead Necklace (J329589) in Pink is a lite pink or a bright pink. The color swatches on QVC website are not working to show the colorways.
    Thank you for your time.
    Lisa Ann

    1. louis dell'olio

      Dear Lisa Ann, I have posted pictures of this necklace here on my web site. It’s a Pale pink. I compare it to Angel Skin Coral which is a soft pale pink.

      1. Lisa Ann

        Thank you so much!!!!
        Just what I was looking for to complete my outfit.

      2. Suzy

        I’m hoping it will compliment my perfectly pink items!

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          Yes Suzy. It definitely will

  47. Suzy

    Lois

    I just want to let you know that YOU are The Big Deal. I’ve been wearing your beautiful things for many years—I cannot thank you enough.

    Suzanne

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Suzy, you are very kind to say that….Jac used to call me her Big Deal…she would say i built this company from nothing……well, she was mine.

  48. Goldie76

    Louis, can you spill about the BLUE clothing planned for the future? Could you tell us what is coming soon? Will the blue be a Royal Blue? What sort of garments?

    Any possibility of giving us a hint of what will be coming our way in blue this coming winter? Royal Blue again? Thank you.

    1. Goldie76

      Louis,

      Did you skip over this question?

      1. Louis Dell'Olio

        Yes, I skipped over it. I have to keep some secrets

        1. Goldie76

          You dickens, you.

  49. Barb

    Any idea when size 14 straight leg super ponte pants will be available?? They are awesome!!

    1. louis dell'olio

      I really don’t

      1. Karen in WI

        I would buy more regular straight leg ponte pants if they come back!

  50. barb

    Any idea when your super ponte straight leg pant (14) will be available again?? These are great!!!

  51. Teri

    I am considering dusk, and I wonder how it compares to your smoke color. I can’t wear pinky taupes. Hope you have beautiful spring weather for your travels. I may be watching from the cellar (but I would do that!).

    1. louis dell'olio

      It’s not a pinky taupe, but it isn’t smoke which is grey. It’s more like a dark khaki.It’s hard to describe color.

      1. Teri

        Thanks, that may work.

  52. WNYGAL/APRIL

    Louis, do you have any information about whether the petal necklace will be reordered? I dithered around on this one, & was lucky enough to get the silver I wanted that I had on WL this week, but now want a chocolate for fall, and, of course, they’re all sold out. One more question: any chance that the Mayan necklace will be manufactured in the green patina as originally shown? I can’t get it out of my mind, & since the Etruscan & fish necklaces have worked out, I have held out hope for this one as well.

    1. louis dell'olio

      Dear April, I would guess no. There just isn’t money in the budget for Linea jewelry to bring back items. It really is a matter of reordering past styles or bring in new. I know it’s difficult to order items in more then one color, but unfortunately once it sells out it’s usually gone for good. There are the exceptions like the fish, but that’s rare.

      1. WNYGAL/APRIL

        Thanks. I was really hoping for that green patina Maya necklace at some point. That finish on that necklace was really the bomb. I have all the other pieces, though, so it’s all good. Have a restful weekend before you’re next trip to Westchester. You sure have been busy lately! A good thing, I expect.

  53. Jackie

    Louis, would you say the green carnival necklace will coordinate with my olive pieces or, is the necklace too summery?

    1. louis dell'olio

      Jackie….it’s not that it’s too summery. It’s too blue green to work with olive. I will have an olive color Beach Glass necklace coming in June that will work perfectly. You will see it as a sneak peek on the Camo dress on the 5/2, QVC1, 6:00pm show.

  54. Debra

    Louis,

    Port!??!!!!

    What fabric? Port was my absolute favorite color of yours last season. I too purchased the steel gray and pink Cowl neck swing sweaters, WK in gray and blackberry pieces, WK scarves, and the split side hem/crew neck WK tunic in all 3 colors == but PORT was such an amazing color.

    I would love to hear what else is coming in this marvelous color!

    thank you,
    Debra

    1. louis dell'olio

      Oh DEBRA, DEBRA, DEBRA….we haven’t even been through half of spring summer and you want to know what’s coming for fall/winter??? I will say more Whisper knits…..plus.

      1. Debra

        hahahaha

        Louis,
        It is cold and dreary here today. There is frost expected tomorrow morning and I am just below the Mason Dixon line!
        So, asking about Port doesn’t seem strange to me at all. I have no idea what to wear every morning when I get up to go to work. I actually wore a suede jacket yesterday when I went out. crazy!

        By the way, what else would you recommend (or are more appropriate items coming?) to wear with the Robin Egg Blue WK tank? I bought it because I love the color although I don’t wear many pastels (although I did order the pink seed bead necklace because I think that it will go very quickly, the ballet pink is so pretty).

        I do hope that more denim items will be coming. I love the new denim dress and it has been sold out already in size S in both the regular and petite sizes. I have been on waitlist on it since I got my first (which I ordered before it was shown). You know how grateful I am for the skirts and dresses.

        You are on a creative roll!!

        thank you,
        Debra

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          Debra, it’s not a pretty day here either, but no frost! Next week they say 80 degrees so hold on. As for the Robins E.B. tank. let’s start with the new Carnival necklace in the Aqua, which works perfectly. Honestly, there isn’t a color that doesn’t look good with it….Let’s start with white and black…then grey, navy, khaki, olive, tan, chino, camo, brown etc. etc, etc……even Port looks wonderful with REB. If you have any print bottoms like my exotic print floral skirt or one of my floral Boho skirts, or print bottoms from the past….you may find lots of things in you closet that will look great with the Robin’s E. B. Explore and play.

  55. kathleen alice sautter

    Dear Louis,

    Can you tell me whether the crepe de chine 3/4 sleeve blouse will be reordered in new colors? I wore the navy today and received so many compliments. I would love navy, black, red, and cobalt. Thanks for all that you do to make your customers feel special

    1. louis dell'olio

      Kathleen I need an A# off the label

      1. kathleen alice sautter

        A288388

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          No Kathleen, that shirt isn’t coming back

  56. diane228

    Louis- Is it wrong to want all of the carnival necklaces? LOL. What a
    collection! Looking forward to your upcoming shoes. Enjoy the weekend.

    1. louis dell'olio

      I told you it was a Candy store

      1. diane228

        And not fattening! This is why we love you Louis.

  57. KathyJ

    So glad to see that the Etruscan necklace set is back in all of the colors. I have been waiting for the “green” for a while now to go with the “green” fish. That is a unique finish and nice to have something to match.

  58. Nancy (aka TheOwl)

    Louis, there was an event yesterday at my church and I wanted to be throw-it-on comfortable. I was already wearing the cowl neck swing sweater (LOVE THESE) in steel grey – would love a dress in this gorgeous color. As I picked out a skirt my mail woman arrived with my Lilac resin nugget necklace. I tossed it on over my cowl neck and put the earrings on as well, A quick check in the mirror on my way to the door stopped me cold. Wow what a show stopper and a chameleon as well is this wonderful necklace. My outfit was not anywhere purple but the necklace enhanced the steel grey and pumped up my cheek color and suddenly I was in a totally head-turning outfit. AND comfy! It gets no better than That! I’m adding “magician” to your imposing list of gifts and talents! Many compliments. Big thanks!

    1. louis dell'olio

      Nancy….so glad you like it……I tried it on an upcoming Port top, and it looks great with that too

  59. Chris S.

    Dear Louis,

    The new bohos are lovely. I have some of the Fiesta pieces, but can’t remember the names of the colors. There was an aqua or turq. color and also a bright pink or fuchsia type color. Do those colors work with the Fuchsia and Turquoise Big Deal Skirts?

    Thank you!

    1. louis dell'olio

      Chris I don’t have those colors so I can’t be sure.

  60. Seka

    Louis, Will the Prune, Fog and Camo Maxi Dresses be presented during the May 2nd & 3rd Shows?
    Seka.

    1. louis dell'olio

      YES!!!!

      1. Seka

        This is great news! Am planning on getting all three colours!
        Seka.

  61. Stephanie

    Hi Louis, I noticed on “Important Dates” that you had two shows, but my TV shows three – an additional show on QVC2 on May 2nd from 9-10pm. Will you be showing the embroidered blouses on any of the shows? Thanks

    1. louis dell'olio

      Hi Stephanie, The 9 to 10 QVC2 show is when I will introduce my new BIG DEAL. The emb. shirt will definitely be on the 5/2, QVC1, 6:00pm show. It’s the last item, but it should be posted well before the show.

  62. Nancy law

    Hi Louis! I heard you mention that the seed bead bracelets will be in small and large. Would the small be the equivalent to a size 7 and the large an 8? It’s hard to tell by the pictures, are they a cuff or like a slip on bracelet? My pink necklace has shipped, I can’t wait to receive it. It will look smashing with the nude pink blouse. Last night I did wear the blouse with the copper scythe necklace. It looked lovely!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Nancy I said reg and large, and I don’t know what the measurement are. This was something the buyers request from my jewelry co.

      1. Nancy law

        👍

    2. Casey (aka KcFoxy)

      Nancy, I noticed in one photo it is a cuff style. Hope that helps.

  63. Goldie76

    Louis, the most recent comment under the Royal Blue seed beads seems “nasty” and unsavory to me. Am I missing something? It might need to be deleted. Sorry to deliver disturbing news on a Friday evening.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Thank you….there are a lot of very sick people in this world. It seems to be getting worse and worse every day. Like a lid has been taken off the crazy pot and let these weirdos escape.

      1. Goldie76

        Again, I apologize for disturbing you at the start of your weekend. The world is has become a place that is too upsetting for my sensibilities. Sick and tired of the ugly and brutal.

        1. Louis Dell'Olio

          Nancy my weekend is going to be about work, sondon’t Worry about it.

  64. Goldie76

    How wonderful! The new royal baby is Prince Louis of Cambridge.

    “Prince Louis.” Now why do I like the sound of that name?

    1. louis dell'olio

      Prince is nice, but I prefer “King Louis”…..LOL

      1. Nancy law

        😂😂😂😂

      2. Chris/Jazzmom

        Would you believe people were commenting about why the Royal Couple went with a French name instead of an English name? Seriously, Louis is both English & French depending on how it’s pronounced.

        1. louis dell'olio

          I believe he was named after Charles’ uncle and the baby’s great great uncle Louis Mountbatten, who was very English.

          1. Sheesh

            Yes, but Earl Mountbatten pronounced it “the French way” LOO-EE—not LOO-ISS! The English (meaning not Americans) pronounce it LOO-EE. If the name were Lewis, the English would pronounce it Lu-ISS. Those are considered 2 distinct names/pronunciations in England, unlike in the USA, where Louis and Lewis are pronounced the same!

          2. Sheesh

            Yes, but Earl Mountbatten pronounced it “the French way” LOO-EE—not LOO-ISS! The English (meaning not Americans) pronounce it LOO-EE. If the name were Lewis, the English would pronounce it LOO-ISS. Those are considered 2 distinct names/pronunciations in England, unlike in the USA, where Louis and Lewis are pronounced the same!

  65. makp

    Dear Louis – I just received your Caneel blue boho skirt and just LOVE the color. Can you please tell me if there will be another Caneel blue top (other than the sheer blouse and tank) to wear with this lovely skirt. Thank you.

    1. louis dell'olio

      No, not this season.

      1. Karen in WI

        I dearly hope that QVC will order some short sleeve whisper knit tops (the elbow sleeve waist whittling !) to go with colors of the boho skirt. I like the caneel blue skirt too and I think that the alabaster ss wk top that is available will go with it? I am making up my mind while I wait for the blue beach nugget necklace.

        1. louis dell'olio

          The alabaster will work….when in doubt….white tee shirts

        2. Kathy/Wis

          I also love that same whisper knit waist whittling top. We can only hope.

          1. Maia

            I think Linea ladies either love or hate the waist-whittling feature. I have to admit I’m in the latter group.
