“THE DESERT KIMONO”

………………………The KIMONO, A351112, has been reordered and “DESERT” above is the return color……….Looking at it you can’t help but think of the South West…..TOBACCO, SPANISH OLIVE, CACTUS, SIENNA, GREY and BLACK are the colors that make up this wavy uneven horizontal stripe. The length covers everything, and shows the stripe to its’ full advantage. The very LIGHT WEIGHT fabric is languid and flows beautifully….,.The BLACK BANDS add a strong vertical line that balances the horizontal stripes….There is also a Black stripe running down the center back…..just for fun and a surprise detail as you are walking away……..The 3/4 length sleeves are also banded at the bottom with black….The band pockets are a wonderful addition…..Add your BLACK and BRASS OX ROLLER BRACELETS that are the perfect colors for the DESERT color stripes…….All other measurements are avail on the QVC Linea site….The jacket is sized XXS to 3X……To wear with your Desert top I have some new options. The NEW WK TANK, A384150 will be avail in the new TOBACCO as well as the BLACK……..The reorder slim pant, A265615, a true love by so many [read the reviews if you haven’t tried it], will now be avail. in the new TOBACCO as well as the BLACK and NAVY. There are other colors, but they are VERY limited! I love the Kimono over the new EYELET TIERED SKIRT. The look is very South West….think Millicent Rogers…..There are two necklaces that coordinate with the Desert Kimono perfectly. The TASSEL GRANDE, J483440 in Amber, and the BEDOUIN BEAD and CHAIN necklace and earring set in MULTI HONEY, J478051, now at a ridiculously low clearance price. This set also has ALL FIVE STAR REVIEWS……..IMHO you won’t find anything that coordinates or enhances the jacket colors better……….The stripe reminds me of the striations and the colors that can be seen on the sides of the mountains all over the South West……………………enjoy……………………much Love……………………….Louis

    Hi Louis
    I already own the Desert Kimono. I intend to buy the new tobacco slim leg pants as well as the tobacco tank. Is the tobacco tank whisper Knit? Also will you be adding other tobacco items to your fall and winter clothing? Love the tobacco color!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Joanne…..yes the tank is WK, and no there won’t be anymore Tobacco for Fall, but who knows maybe next summer or fall. I’m using Tobacco as a transition color.

    Bedouin necklace is sold out, I think that the wood looks good, just not as exciting? Cant wait to get the brown stripe blouse, how will that look with the pearl toursade necklace? Thanks again!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Honestly Debbie, I think the 15 strand pearl torsade is too serious and too dressy for the shirt. That’s why I showed the Tonga shell or the Cowrie shell necklaces which are more relaxed and casual.

    2. Louis Dell'Olio

      Debby….I agree with you, the wood works but it’s not a wow. The stripe overpowers the wood. If the Bedouin is sold out I would recommend the Tassel Grande in the amber . It’s bold enough and the colors are perfect. You can take another look at it in the video of the Kimonos.

    Do the wooden necklaces work as well? Stay safe, Thanks

    Louis, Thank you for your reply! I just watched your latest video – and saw the Sneak Peek of the Skirts! The length of 32” is perfect!
    All three colours are on my list!

    Louis, Am excited about that Tiered Eyelet Skirt! Your Boho Skirt is my all time favourite Skirt! Is the new Eyelet Skirt similar in how it’s tiered – and in length?
    Other than the Black (a must-have for me) and the beautiful Sapphire (want this colour too) – are there other colours?

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Seka….it’s 3 tiers. The original was 4, but there was one with 3….don’t remember which. The reg is approx 32 inches so I’m guessing the petite, yes a petite would be 3 inches shorter. The third color is ivory…..BLACK, SAPPHIRE and IVORY>

    Hi Louis,

    Looking forward to seeing the new tobacco pieces. Are those the new WK tanks in your photo above?

    Regards,
    Chris

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Yes….they are fully fashioned WK JERSEY, not ENR. They are lighter in weight and super soft. They are finished with tubular trims. They will be coming in FIVE COLORS to be used for the entire fall and winter 2020 season.
