Following on from the question on Jackies blog in April about what happens with all the clothing the presenters get provided with.
Jackies reply:
“Hi Helen, thanks for the kind words. And that’s such a good question about the samples! OK – so, If we’re asked to try consumable items like beauty/food, obviously they can’t be passed on to anyone else afterwards so we are allowed to use them up or dispose of them. In fashion, if we get samples of TSV clothes and shoes (the show samples usually only come in a couple of sizes so we need samples that fit all the various shapes and sizes of us presenters!), we can keep them in our on-air wardrobes if we want to, but when they sell out and are not coming back into stock they are cleaned and given to charity. We do big charity clear outs several times a year. Handbags are buyers’ samples that are lent to us and are them cleaned and go back to the buyers (also used for taking photos for the website and promo videos and so on). The buyers also give us new jewellery samples every month to wear on air and then at the end of the month these are cleaned and returned to the buyers and often back to the brands. Things like electrical items and technology are cleaned and returned to the brands or sometimes stay on site to be used for shows. I think that covers most of it! Thanks for getting in touch.

Well during the fashion outlet last evening at 11pm, whilst presenting a Perceptions dress

”I’ve got a couple of Perceptions dresses in my wardrobe and I love them.
The big thing now is we have a lovely new stylist called Stine.
She is stinestylistQVC on Instagram go and look at what she does.
She makes sure we have up to date stuff in our wardrobes and we end up with a pile of stuff.
And she says put them in the charity box or take them home. Lovely thank you very much.”
Guest says something about taking the clothing home and Debbie agrees going on to say.
”My wardrobe at home ends up so many beautiful things I’ve kept cause I really like them.
So you know how you grade them cause you only keep what you really like.
I really, really like that, I really like that, but I will have to relinquish that,
cause I have all these that I really, really like.”
