Joy Mangano leaving HSN?

Beekman came over to HSN from Evine and they are not on QVC

Beekman’s has a TS on QVC about 3 weeks ago. Full goat presentation and all. Their first shopping network experience was QVC then they left and went to Evine. Now back full circle seeing that HSN and QVC are owned by the same company. Some vendors are being shared by both networks: Dooney, Clark’s, Bare Minerals, Doll 10, Sketchers, Vince Camuto, Beekman’s and others.

I agree. We deserved better than.

I’m not defending Joy, she doesn’t need my help, but you think her prices seem high? REALLY? In spite of what a lot of people think her bags ARE 100% leather. She wouldn’t put her reputation on the line by not selling what she says she is selling AND there are labels inside. 79.99 for 2 leather bags isn’t high no matter what the quality of the leather is. When she compares her bags to Designer bags she isn’t doing it for the benefit of those who can afford the designer bags. Read the reviews of the last TS. a lot…A LOT of people are swooning over that set. We may not see it exactly the same way but there are so many people that really think they are lucky to get these “couture” bags at a bargain price.

The Miracle Clean is a whole different story. Everyone that stood there and said it smelled GREAT lied as far as I’m concerned

She has already ruined her reputation by all of the lies that she tells. She sells plastic fragrance discs for $20 and one package of wax warmer cubes for $10. Her package of towels are up to $120. The prices do bounce around a lot but not that much lower. For her to say her bags are on par with high quality bags is the biggest lie of all. Better quality means better leather. It is rare that her products get over 3 stars and most of those great reviews are planted. Don’t get me wrong, I do like some of her products she just seems so strange to me. Like her pillows and she originally said you don’t need a pillow case with them. yikes! I wish she used her miracle clean from years ago, added her new scents and she would have had a winner. Emma Fox used to have great leather but charged more. People would rather pay Joy’s price and then complain about the quality.

Her hangers are junk. All of mine snapped!

I have had lots of hangers snap off at the hook, it appears they are only designed for light weight tops. I also got suckered into buying another suitcase set because it looked so pretty. Quality was bad, bad, bad. I did not appreciate the fact also she was constantly stating it was a carry on, and customers were being told no by the airlines. I think she did make some good products. Iman would be wise to separate due to the control problem with quality. I think Joy had too many products. She should have kept to fewer products and better quality.

AGREE AND THIS WAS WAY BACK

Well I will miss her and I always thought her intentions were good.

Maybe Joy & Iman are going to Evine. Victoria Weick and Sharif have. Now he really had the best handbags. Pricey but, trust me, you never saw yourself coming and going.

I think that Joy was trying to make leather bags affordable for people that couldn’t purchase them any other way and in that light I also think that while they may not be the “thickest” leather, they are 100% leather bags and certainly a very good value for the price. Designers like Michael Kors and Givenchy also splatter their names across the front of their bags. Is that a problem too or is it just Joy & Iman? I don’t particularly like name plates either but a lot of people don’t mind. No one says you have to buy what you don’t like. The value of the good things Joy has to offer certainly outweighs this silly stuff. I hope it was her decision but I doubt it

I agree with Jersey girl , I love Joy products, maybe once in 10 years something would go wrong but what do you expect. I have brought expensive product in the market brand names and in less than 3 months seams split, in others zippers broke. , and as far as Imans clothes I love them and was very happy with my many purchases. The prices were great with both lines and affordable. I have even stopped watching and buying on QVC because there prices are ridiculous they are price so high. It is really going to be hard to replace prices and quality of both these lines. Just like Terry Lewis line they did the same thing to her over 20 years ago , I have her clothes that have last all these years and never went out of style and women and men rave at how beautiful my clothes are after all these years. I will miss these ladies tremendously.

They are an inferior quality leather. They never smell like leather and sometimes wrinkle badly. I’ve seen satchel handles on her and Iman’s bags on ebay where the leather was worn right thru bcuz it was so thin. A person is better off waiting for clearance sales on leather purses in the city where they live.

Well to each his own. I don’t find her and Iman bags up to the quality I prefer and I have bought many of their bags…getting sucked in to the presentation. I’d rather have one quality Patricia Nash bag than a closet full of plastic looking bags. And no, I don’t carry bags from ANY designer when their name is splattered all over the front. We all have different taste and support designers that best speak to us as individuals. No need to make someone wrong for not sharing your taste.

I HOPE YOU’RE RIGHT….

“No need to make someone wrong for not sharing your taste.”

Oddly enough I feel the same as you do… I just think it’s wrong to trash her stuff when there is a definite market for it and a lot of people who really cannot afford Patricia Nash and beyond…

I’believe that this is the market for whom these bags were intended and if others like them too, and I’ve liked a few. then great!No offense intended and the question about the label was real. Thanks for the answer

I’m not trashing her stuff but when she gets on television and compares her bags to top designers and states how soft and supple the bag is and you buy the bag, get it home and it’s hard and plastic with a cheap plastic name plate, then don’t be hurt if some of your reviews aren’t good ones. I can appreciate designers who try in meet customers at different price points but please don’t over sell your product to make it out to be more than it is.

Just an observation, but they all oversell…that’s how they sell! I will miss Joy & her bubbly personality & there were many products I did like. Sad to see all of the changes & many of them not good, like trying to get a refund owed you in a timely manner. Not like it used to be!

Fair enough 🙂 I guess I’ve forgotten how angry I was when I opened my bottle of Miracle Clean.
All in all I’m just annoyed at what I’ve been reading about this takeover and feeling bad for Joy after all she’s done for the stations…both of them. Thinking about it I’m sure she’ll be just fine and doesn’t need me to worry about her …
I am going to miss her shows though. Even her BS was fun to watch 🙁

Still wondering about Iman as I don’t see anything scheduled for 2019

They also let Jennifer Flavin Stallone go. I liked Serious Skin Care. She is doing fine she is on the Ervine Shopping Channel. I agree that they should get rid of Slinky which is getting worse and worse every year.

I agree about Slinky. The quality is dreadful even from the t v. screen. To be honest I found Joy’s quality leather to be as dreadful. They bragged often about being in the same facility as the higher end handbags. Well, they must have given Joy and Iman the scraps or used old cows, LOL.

I understand. But like you said she will be fine. She’s a smart lady and produces enough product to open her own online store. And I’ve notice too that Iman is not on the schedule. Buy outs are never pretty. Serious skin care is out too.
