Plus size brand Eloquii Returns on The Curvy Fashionista

UPDATE- Eloquii is NOW OPEN. Please check out the latest post here- ELOQUII IS BACK.

OMG OMG OMG OMG….

Table of Contents
I know they had to hear us, especially given THIS ELOQUII Post- My Open Letter to Eloquii and YOUR comments!Read the rest of this post here!Will you be shopping once Eloquii returns?PS. Thank you to Anyanwu for the tip!

We spoke up and OUT and they heard our cry! ELOQUII is coming back!

- Advertisement -

I heard whispers and rumors BUT I could not FIND any articles about this so I went to their website and BOOM:

Plus size brand Eloquii Returns on The Curvy Fashionista

Do you KNOW how happy this makes me? DO YOU KNOW how GROUNDBREAKING this is and was!?!?!

- Advertisement -

You cannot tell us that there is NO power in the plus size woman’s voice and action! They heard us!!!

I know they had to hear us, especially given THIS ELOQUII Post- My Open Letter to Eloquii and YOUR comments!

I really do hope and pray that they take into account a few of our tips and concerns shared here… here are a few:

“You cannot open doors and NOT market the brand. Sorry, “if you build it, they will come,” IS NOT a viable Marketing plan. Eloquii, you NEVER advertised. And if you did, you did in a place where the plus size shopper WAS NOT LOOKING. Yes, you may have had an affiliate program that I am part of, BUT even I had to chase you down for this!”

“ONLY one year? You could have given this more time, tested out different partnerships, played around with ADS, OR engaged the community BETTER. In the fabulous world of business, we know that most startups do not turn a profit in the first year.”

- Advertisement -

Read the rest of this post here!

I am over the moon with excitement here! Can you believe it? Pardon the excitement and the lack of keen detail, but as SOON AS I HEAR more details, I will let you know!

**I MUST ADD**

Eloquii was sold from The Limited Brands, so there is a new OWNER and here’s to hoping a new, updated, and better execution of the brand!

How amazing is this!

Will you be shopping once Eloquii returns?

PS. Thank you to Anyanwu for the tip!

    The Limited brand has a long history of letting go of their plus size lines. It wasn’t too long ago that Lane Bryant was owned by The Limited brand. It seems that are not too keen on marketing or investing into the plus size woman.

    Yes, i will definitely be shopping once the brand returns. I do hope that everything available online is in stores. Eloquii made this mistake before. I wish that more companies would consider carrying our items in the actual store. Sometimes I don’t like to wait for my items to come in and order everything online.

    I’m cautiously optimistic…hopefully it won’t be too little, too late or a watered down offering. I’ve definitely missed shopping Eloquii brand, it simply offered something that I don’t get from my other faves (Old Navy, Gap & Target).

    I will absolutely be buying from them…again. I still get compliments on my Eloquii pieces. I loved their items that broke the plus size fashion rules i.e., bright colors, horizontal stripes (on the bottom, oh my!) and shorter hemlines. Plus size women can wear just about anything as long as it is made with the proper construction.

    I bought a lot from Eloquii in the brief period between when I heard about it and it shut down. I personally was and remain happy with the clothings I got there. I got a lot of compliments on many of the things I bought and the fit was really good for me (loved the curvy fit skirts).
    It all depends on what the style and quality is. So will it be the same name but a different style. Or a different price point. I really liked the suits I got from them and thought the whole “forever black” thing was great (the idea that you could update your suit with future pieces that were the same material/color.
    So I’d say TBD. You figure, I was a faithful customer when they were around but I haven’t felt clothing deprived since they left either.

    I will be shopping! My hope its that the clothes remain as trendy and fashion-forward as they were with Limited Brands. My fear is that the quality (which was borderline) may go down and the price point may go up. Let us pray that we have styles that do not include horrible prints and jewelry sewn to collars ;(

    Will I shop at Eloquii? Its TBD – especially since The Limited Brands sold them. I remember back in the day when Lane Bryant was owned by TLB – I LOVED THEM!!!! But since The Charme Shoppes too them over – I never shop there at all. What once was a fashionable, on trend store turned into a very expensive rebranded Fashion Bug store. I do hope that whomever purchased this brand does it justice.

    I was just thinking of them this morning as I put on my Eloquii cobalt blue pencil skirt. Probably one of my favorite skirts and them so well. I am excited they’re coming back and hope they work out some of the kinks. I had some issues with their sizing and wasn’t a fan of their fondness for polyester, but maybe this time around they will get it right.

    I loved Eloquii and was sad to see them go. I just went onto the new website and the prices are WAY more than with the previous owners. I think that some of their prices rival a Nordstrom, high end things at Macy’s or boutique type stores. Some of the things were really cute, but being used to fashion with a budget in mind, I am disappointed in the prices for the new owners.

    I have to agree with some of the other comments. The prices are much higher than before. I guess it’s to be expected with new owners. But in truth I’m more disappointed with the styles….very fashion forward, what I loved about the “old” Eloquii was the classic, clean style…this collection is a little to edgy for me.. I couldn’t see wearing much of their collection to work. A few cute pieces for date night or girls night out but not much of a selection for every day wear. A little disappointed. (in my opinion)

    I was so super excited that they were coming back. Not only am I plus.. but short.. so it was always hard to find jackets that I did not have to roll back and cuff the sleeves on.. I loved that I could find plus/petite.. and some of my friends had the plus/tall going on. I do not see a range of sizes other than plus “standard. We even lost the “curvy” pants.. which made a huge difference for me…. but the most DISAPPOINTING.. so very disappointing is that it is obvious that the styles are being dictated by trendy 20-30 something’s NYC club wear. Don’t get me wrong.. It is fine to have cute pieces.. and ways to mix things up, but we need things to wear to work everyday, foundation and basics that we can count on. Stylish, classy items that fit. If I check back another 3-4 times and the new owners don’t start making some “boring” suit type staples, I will most likely be gone forever.. and unfortunately, with the prices being so high, “suits” are the only ones who will regularly afford to shop it. WAKE UP…. foundations are your bread and butter. You should already have the designs from the Limited. You have the golden opportunity to woo us back, but if they do not start using some business savvy and look at demographics and pricing/styles, they will most likely fade away. Please, we want and need you to succeed, but you need to listen to the customer.
