I saw a show the other day. Marlas’ offerings seem to be morphing into the usual Q garments. Not a fan of her stuff but at least they were different. I thought I was watching Kim when I saw an edge to edge polyester cardi.

There was a cardigan for about £90 definitely wouldn't pay that.

I’d hazard a guess that I’ve got more input into the brand these days than Marla does anymore.

Every time I drop onto the QVC channel she’s on it doing a double act with her bestie Cabler. It’s beyond cringeworthy. I wouldn’t care if her clothes were stylish but mostly they’re just shapeless and frumpy. And the jumpers - don’t get me started. They must be selling in their thousands for them to keep putting her on but it’s a source of total amazement to me that people are continually willing to part with that much cash for any of them. I think QVC must be struggling to fill their air time. This is a plea from the heart - If any of the big wigs at Q happen to read this can you please give her a break (a long one)!

Totally agree. The jumpers always seem baggy around the chest and very tight around the tum and hips - yet they still sell ! You've only to see how badly they look on Ruth (the designer (!) ) to run a mile from them.
In all her years on qvc I've only sent for 2 items - a cocoon cardi which was awful and returned, and a surprisingly well fitted navy mac - classed as trench but without the belt and epaulettes which I kept. Otherwise I find her stuff overpriced for market stall quality, and I'm staggered that folk would buy anything with her initials on it as though she's a bone fide designer !!!

I would hazard a guess the MW has nothing to do now with the clothes that carry her label.At first she was involved in the presentations and love them or hate them the range had a distinctive look.RL as we know is not a designer so rather than originating ideas which even if they ‘classic’ in look do not have a newness and style which take a creative mind to tap into.RL is looking at ideas she ‘likes’ from those that are already in the marketplace, that is why we think we have seen it all before .Not in the fashion capitols of Paris or Milan but on our own High Street and Market stalls.Ruth is a personality who appeals to many, they trust her but why worry as long as it brings in the sales and Ruth makes the money.
Sorry to ramble on but there is a lot more to generating originality in the fashion market than meets the eye!

Well it's a No from me.

 

[SusieJ]

The ecru looks nice because you can see the blocks. Still wouldn’t buy it though!

 

[Battiola73]

Nice colours not too garish which is a surprise for her clothes. I wouldn’t pay that price though. I bought a similar design recently with n pale blue for £18.

 

[Cashers]

Horrid, cheap, shapeless, overpriced. Saw so much better jumpers in Primark today for £12. So it's a no from me!

 

[Turandot]

They look old fashioned and frumpy. Just my impression. They could be retro.

 

[boffy]

Looks cheap but the price tag is way overpriced. Will stick to M&S Jaeger when in the sale

 

[mina]

Sainsburys have decent winterwear and at a good price. My Christmas jumper cost £22* and it's really snuggly. QVC price I'd guess, would be at least double. Mr M paid £12 for his slippers and he's very happy.

*Love it. Just what I wanted.

 

[misiuszka]

This it alot nicer than I thought it would be given the "patchwork" descripton - I'm even tempted!

I got one

 

[Toril]

No from me. I don’t like the neckline and it looks a bit “bulky” on some of the models. It is nice to see some plain colours for a change though.

 

[Patsy]

Well it's a No from me.

And me.

I've had some lovely pyjamas from Sainsburys, and bought them in the sale. Bargain

 

[LV73]

Can't believe the price people must be happy to pay for her stuff. It's not designer and not luxury fabrics, and so expensive compared to what you can get in the shops. High necks are no good for busty people, so it would be a no from me anyway! I can't believe how many Ruth TSVs they have, come on guys we want some variety!

 

[Grizelda]

When comparing with less expensive jumpers, are the components the same (poly, acrylic, wool, etc?) Some people say her jumpers pill, and others say they don't pill. Hard to know what to believe, but I don't want to buy one to find out. It struck me as being very ordinary and quite shapeless. She's still trying to sell the camouflage jacket. We see too many soldiers on the news wearing camouflage. Not a good look for civilians right now, Imo.

I wouldn't buy one either just to find out if it pills, and certainly not this TSV. It reminded me of the fabric we used to call Boiled Wool, flat and matt-looking.
Agree re camouflage, not a good look outside the military. Majority of her range is unexceptional and overpriced in my opinion. Can't comment on the quality as I've never bought anything.
