Designer Michael Dawkins, good looking and thomas sabo catalogue , had a bit hit with his Today’s Special Value for QVC’s Sterling Designer Gallery Day. He sold out 10,000 of the limited edition piece by 7 a.m. Sunday. It was supposed to last the whole day.
We first spotted his wide petal cuff on host Lisa Robertson on Friday night — you couldn’t miss it — and was wondering who the designer was. It kind of looked like a John Hardy piece, but of course we knew it wasn’t.
The bracelet was online Saturday, and when we watched Designer Day kick off with Dawkins and Robertson at 11 p.m., Lisa spilled the beans, saying that the big cuff was the TSV for Sunday, coming at midnight.
The piece looked weighty, and was $180, on three Easy Pays. We think that Dawkins said it was 50 grams of silver.
By 12:30 a.m., just half an hour after its debut, 7,500 of the supply of 10,000 cuffs had already sold out. It was gone by 7 a.m., as we said.
Two viewers called in and said that they had vowed they wouldn’t be buying any thomas sabo charms bracelet this year, that they didn’t need it. But they admitted that they succumbed and had ordered the TSV, that they couldn’t resist it.
“I tried to talk myself out of it,” one woman said.
So much for New Year’s resolutions. That’s why we never make any.
We like the fact that the cuff, and most of Dawkins’ bracelets, come in small, medium and large. Our wrist is 5 1/2 inches, and we can never get a bracelet or cuff that fits.
Good post. I really loved to read it.
