QVC Group is going to file Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

“That’s what happens when you put a man at the top.”
Shopping channels were founded by men.
And CH 11 is still only a rumor.

QVC Group has not filed anything, yet. No decision as of this post. They are “talking to creditors”. So, we will keep it as they “are considering filing Chapter 11”.

IMO when I started watching Q almost 20 years ago, many (not all!) of their clothes were already dowdy. Same on HSN. I am not sure who was running what at what time, but who is buying “coins”? Is “crafting” paying the corporate debts? Beauty is almost non-existent on HSN, always Nakery-you can find their shows 5 days a week, I think. Even Signature A is hardly on anymore. Seems Lancome is gone and no new shows scheduled. I wonder how long Colleen will still sell on H?? I liked Antthony as a vendor but his designs did not appeal to me personally, but I did appreciate that he knew the woman he was designing for. I did purchase IMAN a lot, the first time around, but not at all when she came back after a couple years. Marla again was not my cup of tea, her design shapes would not work for me, but I liked to watch to see what she would bring in.

Similarly on Q. They lost Isaac Mizrahi, which was the only brand I would purchase on the regular, initially. Then they had to cheapen the 24/7 pants and pima cotton shirts. Similarly to Antthony, he knew his customer. Anyway, I buy things mostly on Q just because that is where I started and I like Belle, but I carefully pick and choose due to pricing rising. Maybe a Denim and Co top here or there, but not often. I also like more of their home decor than H, but that is just a personal preference.

Corporate wastes money for on location broadcasts, like Palm Springs (imo). They waste more money teaming up with the likes of Kathy Hilton and Theresa Caputo, and then the “influencers” they work with for their streaming and TikTok services. The method of buying through TV is old news. They were never really prepared for the use of Apps, streaming, or realizing their pricing is out of line in many cases. All stores have a website now, and if you want something unique I bet you can find it somewhere online.

It’s become the Kim Gravel show on QVC (overpriced ) and the second rate offerings with washed up television/movie stars on HSN.Why is Iman and Anthony not at HSN anymore? You have 1 Designer C.Wonder and an ok Giuliana. I still shop but the days of joy is gone…the movie themes and capsule collections are gone.The video playback is now .

Personally, I would like to see Quarate turn on the “way back machine” and watch how QVC used to do business.
A w I d e array of products with name brand quality merchandise. Quicker programs where hosts gave complete and succinct product info NOT weaving into every product, some inane personal story or dancing, singing, preening and staring at themselves in the monitor.

These days QVC practically owns every product they sell. Their ownership has provided a snorefest of boring clothing, cheapened junk and narrowed the variety of things they DON’T own. Several hosts per show is completely unnecessary. Hasbeen celebrity lines slapping their name on clothing as though they are capable of creating a pattern or threading a sewing machine…..
…… lest we forget their constantly throwing the over 50 and menopause in our faces…. ALLLLL OF IT IS UNAPPEALING. go back to the drawing board Quarate before you have no choice but to file for bankruptcy. And don’t hate on us when our reaction is …. I TOLD YOU SO.

What I cannot stand is not seeing the designers when their products are new. I don’t like Brand Ambassadors. I liked seeing Antthony, Diane Gilman, etc. I too have stopped buying stuff and paying down my credit card.

David Rawlinson II is the HEAD OF QUARATE GROUP which owns QVC & HSN the President of QVC Stacey Bowe is the President of QVC & the merchandising USA. I blame the top person which is David Rawlinson II.
I think QVC is going in the wrong direction and HSN has been trying to pull themselves out of a hole, but they just keep making it bigger with all the poor designers they are allowing to sell on HSN.
Instead of HSN finding really good designers not a name only and start demanding all sizes and quality they will continue to go downhill.
I still like HSN and I love their customer service for the most part the majority are all really helpful and pleasant, but they need to have brands that are great not just any brand that is marketed at a cheap price you can find cheap anywhere people are looking for quality at a good price.
Also, they need to start acting more professional and stop treating the customers like they are morons and tell us over and over where we can use their merchandise, how to wear it where to wear it; it is repetitive chaos that is going to drive customers away. Also, don’t tell us we can’t find a better deal because oh yes, we can and we can find quality to boot. I shop all over & there are a lot of stores that have been around forever that are competitive in pricing, and they sell petites regular and tall in 99% of what they sell.

Well, I hear you all and agree that HSN has changed. I still shop DG2 and Marla, and I did buy a lot of jewelry like turquoise from dealers that have left HSN, and although I do like Chaco Canyon, I preferred the Native Indian lady that came to represent the brand and the actual artisans vs. the lady that now comes.

I never really bought a lot of QVC until recently, since I discovered Le Creuset, Vitamix, Kitchen Aid, Isaac and Dooney (back in the day), Stacey London, Spring Step, and Peace LOve World. I thought that they had a better shoe selection than HSN, and the new denim line (Driftwood) that was once in Sundance magazine (because I shopped Sundance a lot!)

Lastly, the food selling is reidiculous….please reduce that time slot…please also reduce Kim Gravel since her clothes are mostly copied from other designers (nothing original or expensive looking). Has Kim bought the station????

I read it last month. their six billion dollars in debts. Curate went hiding behind QVC as they now call themselves ‘qvc group. Yes’ curate ran HSN into the ground and I doubt that curate will come through. if they don’t, the court should take custody of HSN and QVC while looking for new buyers for HSN and QVC septet. up state new York here the nevlry hotel and resort was ran into the ground July 3rd 2009 workers showed up for work, found themselves locked out as was closed down by owner. the court took custody of the resort and hotel, the owner got nothing and was side. this should happen to curate.

I used to love flexibelle by Kim Gravel BUT!! it has gotten waaaaaaaay to expensive for me. I have no clue why she feels that a $35.00 jean should go for over $65. – $70? I just don’t buy from HSN or QVC anymore. The decisions they have made in the past several years have been horrendous.

Just checked out qvc website and they are launching andrew lessman as a returning vendor- and so it begins- they are slowly moving the most valuable vendors to qvc so they can end hsn

“On or about April 15, 2026 (the “Petition Date”), QVC Group and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (excluding subsidiaries outside of the U.S. with the exception of one non-operating subsidiary in here), including QVC Inc. (collectively, the “Company Parties”), intend to commence voluntary cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”).

yes i have enjoyed reading all your comments about QVC and HSN and I too find it too repetitive with the clothing lines especially. So I just don’t buy. If I don’t like the repetitive host that tries to sell the clothing..”oh yes! you can wear this to your next shower or maybe an anniversary or just going out to lunch with a friend…blah, blah. Us girls are too smart for that rhoetic.
Go shopping and see all the options you have outside of the shopping boxes.
Go shopping for good brands outside of the shopping boxes..
I do agree it all becomes very boring and very predictable on the weekly lineup.
Just remember, we all have choices. If you don’t like what you see, go see what you like.

I’m sorry to hear about the bankruptcy filing, and I hope they can turn things around.
I love how they demonstrate and explain products on here, especially things like
computers, vacuums, arts & crafts things, etc. There is value in that, especially
because a lot of stores today don’t have enough sales help around period, let alone
sales help that even knows much about the products they sell…

I can’t believe there isn’t someone smart who could turn this around. Yes, they probably
need to focus on some things that younger people like, but don’t forget people of all
ages, as well. I’ve always wondered why HSN never sells video games or had really good
deals on stuff like that, or whatever younger people are into. If you did things like that,
and publicized it properly to younger people, they might come–
and then stick around to buy other things like decent kitchen stuff, computers,
arts & crafts things, cool clothes at a good price….and not just “old lady” clothes like
I see sometimes, with some of these brands.

Gotta have a mix of things that younger
and people of other ages would like…..and do get some good hosts to sell it on TikTok,
Instagram, and platforms like that, as well. Maybe pair a younger host with an
older, entertaining one who really knows a lot & is good at selling, t, to do this….

I am a fan–I draw Crafting Cat Cartoons which was inspired by your Craft Days–
and still post them on Suzanne’s Get Crafty Facebook page, plus my own
Facebook page for Crafting Cat Cartoons, and Instagram……I really want HSN to recover
from this and do well.

QVC/HSN’s attitude of “Everything’s fine! Nothing’s changing! Nothing to see here!” is nuts.

You cannot really blame a man for bringing two televised retail giants to bankruptcy. Remember Barry Diller?? He brought in Mindy who knew her retail trade backwards and forwards. I remember the first day that HSN was televised under his leadership. He had great workers who were talented. That’s because he listened and did his homework. When the business sold I knew it was just a matter of time before they would be run to the ground. Today, one needs to be retail savvy. Going from television to an online store is not the only way. You need to know your audience. Who are the shoppers out there. What do they need. How can I meet those needs and be diverse enough to bring in others. More and more people in all age groups are now leaning and living through technology. Who knew 10 years ago or more that cable would not be the venue it once was. It’s great for news, movies, shows, etc.. But people today find cable is not enough. It’s too expensive. Sometimes, you need to spread those wings and fly and take chances. Some will be a miss and others will become the new norm. We cannot always live in the old, the way it used to be. We just need to find the new footprint and take hold. And that footprint can only work if the people under you know their trade and to the job they were expected to do and then some. I wsh only the best for HSN and QVC and the Community that brought us all together.
