………………………………It’s back and ready for ordering……….The PEBBLE CREPE TOP, A213621…………This has become one of….if not the most popular Linea spring/summer/fall top, and depending on where you live…..a year round top………….I am introducing one of the most popular tops in one of your favorite colors………PERFECTLY PINK…………………..For those of you who own and love this top I certainly don’t have to describe the virtues of why it has become a MUST HAVE, but for those of you new to Linea….a little explanation……First, it’s the fabric…the PEBBLE CREPE. What the fiber content is….almost isn’t important. It’s the way it feels on the body and preforms after many washings  has become the reason it is so popular. If you want the details go to the QVC Linea site for all of the  info……. The fabric is cool and dry to the touch, and the surface has a slight pebble texture………This is a very comfortable top to wear in the warmest steamiest weather………in other words……the dreaded hot days of SUMMER………The design may look deceiving simple…until you take a second look. The open neckline, the 3/4 sleeve hem and the bottom hem are all finished with separate sewn on bands….it’s just not turned and stitched the way most other tops are done. Needless to say this is a much more expensive, time consuming, challenging top to CUT, SEW and MAKE. All of this extra work with the applied bandings helps to keep the top’s SHAPE……Then….there are POCKETS which everyone loves!……This has been the fourth or fifth year this top has been reordered, and to tell you the truth the price, like for everything else should have gone up, but my manufacture, because of her close relationships with the factories she works with has managed to keep the price as is. If you have never tried Linea or are just now testing it out this would be a wonderful place to start. It exemplifies what Linea is about……..QUALITY………I know some of you can’t take your eyes of of the faux PINK QUARTZ necklace…..It is SUPERB, and will be avail sometime this coming Feb…..The one in the photo is the first prototype, and a minor change was made……when it comes in I will tell you all about it. I will be showing the actual corrected piece and matching earring [sold as a set] in the show……………………enjoy……much Love………………….Louis

………………………Another NEW color for the Pebble Crepe top is…..LIGHT KHAKI……a beautiful neutral……………….shown above with the CHESTNUT LINEA LEISURE slim pull on pant. The necklace is new, but the one above is the first prototype. I changed the construction from the ribbon to a chain. The ribbon knots between each bead make it hang wiggly wobbly……you will see the correct one in the show……it will also come with a matching earring as a set! I love how each bead has a different coloration and opacity…..like something from nature….Perfect for all your neutrals….It will be avail. later in the season so this is a double sneak peek……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

…………………………….WHITE…….WHITE…….WHITE…..,.does anything say SUMMER more than a beautiful WHITE top………cool, airy and refreshing. After a long hot summer day it’s just the thing you want to put on after a cool shower……..The BLACK BEADS and EARRING set are coming latter in the season.

…………………….Last but certainly not least……NAVY and BLACK……are returning! Black is always the number one selling color and it seems it will be true this time too….Already three sizes are sold out………Navy, above, is also one of the most popular colors so it has been reordered too………..The Bold Hoop earring in Gold and TWO of the Dingle Dangle necklaces accessorize the top. If one is good TWO are WOW!!……. For the bottom….the pull on straight leg Linea Leisure pant in WHITE, which also has been reordered in REGULAR and PETITE lengths……………………………….

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

I have just gotten the script for my 5:00 PM show and most of the show is NEW, NEW, NEW………I know I told you I wouldn’t have new until March, so you can imagine my surprise when the script just arrived…….I only received the new spring samples yesterday so I really have to put my nose to the grind stone getting the outfits together, drawn and everything else I need to do to get the show together. Since I have to leave on Friday to do the AM Syle show on Sat….I doubt I’ll have any time to post Sneak Peeks…..It will have to be like the good old days! …………………….enjoy………………much Love……………Louis
