“SNEAK PEEK #4”
Sneak Peek # 4 is actually an old friend! It is the A87423, cotton acrylic mock neck, elbow sleeve sweater. Blogs have been posted, letters to TPTB have been written….all to bring back this little, sweet sweater. The returning colors are WHITE, BLACK and HOT PINK…..the new color is PERFECTLY PINK! This sweater was going to be retired because the factory refused to make it at the same price. I begged and pleaded, on your behalf, to bring it back even at a higher price. The question was asked on the Fashion Forum, “would you pay more for this sweater?” and many of you blogged that it was such a great sweater you would pay more for it. So you may ask how come the price is the same? Let’s just say……it’s a gift from my manufacturer and myself. Why is this a Customer Top Rated sweater? I have been told by you….you love the fit of the body and neck and you love the weight of this sweater. That IS what makes this a special sweater and one you will NOT see anywhere, let alone on QVC. This is known as an “Every Needle Rib” construction and it takes double the amount of yarn to make as apposed to a jersey knit sweater. During my 20 years at Anne Klein I went to Italy 4 to 5 times a year just to work on the sweaters directly in the mills. Making sweaters is a totally different language and education from regular “cut and sew” garments. Creating sweaters is definitely one of my loves. ENR is becoming a thing of the past due to costs rising and I’m not sure if this sweater will see another day….it’s really up to how successful this one does. I really don’t have to go into the positive aspects of this sweater…..you all have told me. If you haven’t tried one…..this is the time……it’s a little GEM……………….P.S. the crop pant in all the photos is new….it’s cotton sateen and it’s coming in April…..that’s all I’m saying…..except it’s a GEM too!…..Louis
