The truth about Jeanne Bice and Quacker Factory - QVC - popular clothing ~ millions in sales

[@angelsmedley8187]

Thank you for this lovely video! Quack, Quack! Angel 😇

[@thecomfycozyhouseoflovekin5895]

Hi Angel, I am a long time quacker. I still enjoy your shows and love the work you, John and the team do. Keep the new designs coming. I especially enjoy when you sprinkle in stories or the occasional photo of Jeanne, please continue to do so. I would love to see the set recreated the way it was when Jeanne did the shows. I also love Finnigan and Nori. Quack, Quack!!!

Jokes aside, a lot of Jean’s clothing was of the highest quality. Beautiful embroidery details, the continuation of decoration theme along the back shoulder, and quality materials made them special. And her removable resin button covers on her sweaters were some of the most unique and wonderfully made embellishments I’d ever seen. Her seasonal sweaters were so whimsical that it wasn’t any wonder they were favorites among teachers of elementary school-aged children.

[@alicewonder1687]

I always remembered her headbands and beautiful personality.

[@carolwilson2713]

She could cheer someone up on a tough day with her witty advice. Miss you,Jean!

[@annarodriguez9868]

Thanks for the memories! Jean was always a joy to watch and listen to. Most of her clothes had too much going on for my taste, but I did get a couple of denim shirts with country patchwork Christmas angels and one with garden angels, yes garden, not guardian angels. Both shirts had the clip on button covers that disappeared when my granddaughters were visiting. They actually had them on their sweaters when mom picked them up. Lol! Anyway, still have the shirts and still in pretty good condition after 20 years. God bless Jean and may she rest in peace! 🙏

[@janh5199]

I remember her on 50 in 50. I couldn’t get on the phone fast enough to buy one of her shirts. Literally. I couldn’t get on fast enough because it sold out that fast. Her clothes were so fun and comfortable. I had trouble with the tops being short because I am tall with a long torso but they definitely weren’t skimpy. She was such a joy to watch. Always so positive.

[@maewebster9377]

yea…the 50 in 50 was fun. I remember buying great big apples from Washington State and cherries. I did Jean Bice’s farm shirt and later some of her other stuff for my mom…the buttons… then I had this epiphany… QVC at that time did not sell much in petites so I quit watching

[@amac6421]

Wow, I told my boyfriend about a year ago how when I think of the 90s and being a kid I think of people wearing cat vests and he had no idea what I was talking about. It must have been fate I was recommended this video and decided to watch it because there it was, framed, the cat vest my first grade teacher used to wear all the time lol. My grandma, her friends, everyone was wearing quacker factory. I never knew how many fond memories her clothes would bring back, along with the MadTV sketch! Thanks for the fun video

[@fayebutler1503]

Jeanne was definitely one of a kind, I always enjoyed watching her.

[@cheriebyrnes4697]

I loved her so much 💓. I watched her last show when she wasn't feeling well. The next day I expected her to be there, but Denim & Co. was there. Sadly Jeanne had passed away. I cried like she was my own sister 😭. I miss her to this day.

[@NaturallyGifted77]

Awwww

[@karenboggs3466]

I loved Jeanne and her clothes fit me great. They were not over sized. I miss her 💜

[@pegatheetoo1437]

I miss her clothing designs. They are still on QVC but they're not quite the same style that Jeanne had ... I think the fun is missing. For me though, the size runs true.

[@chrisgraham7139]

Ya, I sd about the same thing about her clothes. Miss her tho.

[@emiliagarcia6868]

RIP Jeanne Bice 🌹🌹Loved watching her on QVC ❤

[@StellaLive-le9hf]

She was hilarious! Her clothes were adorable and very well made and i loved how she had an inspirational quote or something on each item that you bought.. she was one-of-a-kind and my heart absolutely broke when she died. I seem to remember her daughter passed away a few days later. I always felt so bad for her family. Rest in peace, Jeanne! ❤❤❤❤

[@chrisgraham7139]

Yes , daughter died too a few years after jeanne.

[@sumar207]

Your video was surprisingly entertaining, I didn’t know much about Jean Bice’s background, even though I bought some clothes from her line from way back in the day. My mom used to volunteer at a rehab facility and she told me that the residents of the facility always enjoyed seeing the fun, brightly colored embellishments of the volunteers’ clothing if they were wearing Quaker Factory and often the banter about the clothes would ease the mind of the resident and conversations could start to flow. I still watch Angel Smedley when she appears on QVC. Thanks for the well-done retrospective!

[@governmentchihuahua4132]

Thanks for posting this and showing Jeanne's humor. I had not heard of Quacker Factory until she had passed and I started watching QVC while pet sitting.

[@cindyg5064]

Thank you for the memories! I absolutely love her clothes, and my closet can prove it! She is truly missed.

[@daynasafranek7807]

She had such a personality and seemed like she was always having so much fun when she was on QVC. I loved to see her on the air!

[@catilyeverafter316]

This was such a sweet homage to Jeanne. ❤

[@ilax4244]

Haven't watched QVC in years. Glad I got to enjoy Jean's zest for life.

[@MetamorphosisRox]

I'm the kind of person that needs some sort of background noise. In the 90s I had my one and only successful pregnancy (unfortunately, three others did not work out), and I was an avid watcher of QVC through that entire decade. 50 on 50 was a fantastic idea and although it was a challenge to try to get in, all those companies were so great to watch. Jeanne was always hilarious. Like you, I didn't find anything I liked in her clothes but I loved watching her. In fact, the personal summer line and "men are good to take out the trash" were lines that I say all the time now and I know it's because I saw her saying them first. I know it's part of marketing but just like Richard Simmons dolls, I truly felt their excitement about the stuff they sold. If you love your products, it''s easier to sell. Wonderful video. Thanks for the memories. Now I'm off to the QVC page to see if they have anything I'm interested in.

[@TheHoneys4us]

She will always be missed and love🙏

[@janettelouden4967]

The greatest designer. I bought all her clothes !!! Miss her so much !!!

[@sallythibodeaux7992]

Jeanne was always so bubbly and full of life. Her fashion designs were like no other and I loved them. It was a sad day when we got the news of her passing. Her present line is different and doesn’t appeal to me anymore. We miss you Jeanne!

[@chrisgraham7139]

Yup. I sd same thing.

[@sandrakelley3391]

They were the best clothes just like her.We loved her and miss her.

[@salfromoregon4369]

I still miss her. I have a handful of her items, in fact wearing one now. And still buy them occasionally. Thank you Jeanne!

[@Bailey_G]

Quacker wasn't really my personal taste but I did purchase one understated top that I liked a lot. I really enjoyed watching the shows with Jeanne -- she was such a hoot! I was very sad when she passed suddenly.

[@tristensolock7620]

Still have some of her sweaters to this day. Loved when she was on.

[@cheryldodd-marko9787]

She was an inspiration to so many people..🕊🇺🇲💕

I loved Jeanne and she was a beautiful woman. I had to fight hard to get her products but they were so well made and unlike any others. I was stunned was stunned when she passed. I remember her cruise she took for her fans. I still belong to the Quaker Factory online club.

Meet Jeanne and loved her, nice as could be!! I went on the Quacker Cruise and had a blast with all the Quackers!!

[@christinebadagliacco8972]

I remember watching her on the 50/50 tour. I did start watching anytime she was on QVC. Unfortunately, never bought anything because of my budget, but it never stopped me from enjoying watching her.

[@DeviousKnitter70]

Quacking at other people wearing Jean's clothing was hilarious!

[@Mlspky]

She passed away several years ago. They still sell her clothing on QVC.

[@susangibson7532]

Love Jeanne Bice. I was a fan fro. The very beginning. She had an amazing personality and a love for life. Miss her dearly but still purchase her brand on QVC. My favorite, her dream 👖 jeans.

[@randibrofsky5231]

I miss her and Lee so much I used to do their manicures at Jean's house in Florida

[@beehappyalways]

I liked the Halloween themed sweaters. Still have two of them. I don’t really wear them now. But they were great for taking my now grown son trick or treating in the 1980s.

[@Rick-hx9fo]

Her daughter who would also present for her mother before she passed took over with Angel. Tragically, Jean’s daughter passed away mot long after Jean. Very sad. I used to get the best laughs when Jean was on. May she rest in peace.

[@lanaofficiel4042]

I always thought that April was Jeanne 's daughter.

[@bethelle9099]

What happened to Jeans daughter?

[@Rick-hx9fo]

Jean’s daughter Lee died exactly 3 weeks after her mother, July 11, 2011. The family released a statement but never acknowledged how she died. The family had a joint memorial for both of them. Very sad. 😢

[@melodyintime]

Memories in Clothing. My Mom had several of her pieces! Was so sorry to hear of her daughter's passing also. Do not watch QVC anymore for many reasons.

[@labradormom1]

I just saw a couple of my tops! She was wonderful! I still have a few shirts and pants that I only wear on special occasions. She is sorely missed!

😂 I've been been with QVC since day one . I remember the 50 and 50 to work quite well. I did not really need a lot of the garments but I will say that teachers around the country started wearing her seemed blouses sweaters and sweatshirts. A great success with them. Thank you for doing this video

[@marilynbunte5376]

I brought several of her items, and loved them.

[@dianeclerico1624]

Yeah I stopped buying Quaker Factory after we lost Jeanne. I love mostly her pants and shorts. I still have a few tops. Her clothes were made great. I wasnt much into the too much bling clothes. But i loved Jeanne just loved watching even without buying. She was on Talk Soup with Joel McHale and he joked with her and when she died he did a great speech about her.

[@gigimoore3738]

Very nice tribute to Jeanne, thanks. She is an iconic legend on QVC.

I remember Jean! Never bought a piece but loved watching her back in the day. RIP beautiful soul and thanks for all the laugh's. The MAD TV skit was hilarious! tfs

[@mommyquackquack1825]

I loved the bling, embroidery, emblems, embellishments etc. It's was unique clothing, not made for everyone. You needed to be somewhat flamboyant person to pull it off. I loved the holiday sweaters. This is not the same old stuff you could see your self coming and going in from big box stores. I miss her and the items she presented. Angel is nice but the clothing has changed too much for me to want to buy it and it's cheap quality now. I liked that they cut the item true to size or give a little extra room. Especially if you had a difficult time finding a button up top to actually fit without gaping or having to pin it together.

[@Truelyblue333]

While she seemed to be an amazing person full of energy and positive attitude that clothing line was hideous. Just my opinion. I’m happy she was able to accomplish the success she did. You’re certainly correct in saying it was not made for everyone. It did and currently still will take a somewhat flamboyant person to pull her designs off. It was/is so gaudy. I cant imagine wearing any of it not even as a costume. 😂

[@teresacantrell7400]

Loved Jean Bice’s. ❤️

[@Holly2017Rascal]

Watched Jeanne Bice for years. Such a nice woman. Bought Quacker Factory including Dream Jeans. Those clothes last forever. Washed beautifully. Don’t watch like I used to. They “fired” a few of the older hosts and I don’t care for some of the newer ones. The quality has gone down on much of their inventory. Plus shipping and return fees have gone up. They don’t offer free shipping very often either.

[@Lisa-je5bb]

I was shocked when they fired them. The woman was my favorite! The home chef better be careful,he might be next

[@Holly2017Rascal]

@@Lisa-je5bb I liked Dan and Caroline. Just nice people. Know QVC wants to appeal to a younger demographic but they are like most corporations when someone is in their late 50’s or early 60’s, let them go so the benefits aren’t as expensive. Happened to me, my dad, my husband and many individuals I worked with. Too many years of service gets expensive.

[@patriciaroberts7522]

It's not the same. In my opinion, the clothing does not have the same quality. Stopped buying it long ago. The Company should have gotten someone that was plus size like Jean with a vivacious, sparkling personality.
