Stewart hasn’t had an apparel offering on QVC since 2019. Later this spring, Stewart will launch a new collection in textiles and decor featuring bedding, lights, lanterns, wreaths and other outdoor living pieces. Martha Stewart Garden and Culinary with Martha Stewart will appear on Wednesday at 11 a.m. EST and 6 p.m. EST. “Martha has been a beloved member of the QVC family for many years, as well as one of our Q50 ambassadors which we introduced last year. We are thrilled that she is continuing to grow her brand with us by bringing new collections to our customers,” said Mara Sirhai, chief merchandising officer, QVC. “As America’s most trusted lifestyle expert, Martha brings a wealth of knowledge and impeccable taste to everything she does. Her attention to detail, quality and functionality can be seen in every aspect of these collections.” Discussing the re-introduction of apparel, Sirhai said, “We’re really excited. She’s constantly re-inventing. Apparel is a great way to express that. She’s all about comfort and simplicity and elevated design and functional luxury.” The apparel line will launch with “Today’s Special Value,” which will be a signature slim-leg, roll-cuff denim jean. She said the apparel offering is designed to be functional. “She can go from her casual afternoon to out to dinner with different ways she can layer. I think Martha does a lot of layering from her signature short-sleeve puffer coat to a sweater over her shoulders to a jacket,” said Sirhai. Stewart’s clothing retails from $39 to $79, with several specialty pieces retailing between $89 and $109. “I think it’s a great positioning for us, especially right now because we certainly know the customer is looking for value,” said Sirhai. Sizes range from XXS to 5X. A look from Martha Stewart Signature Apparel for QVC. “We’re aiming this toward our female consumer 50-plus who knows, loves and trusts QVC apparel. We see it as a great opportunity to acquire [customers] and then again, focusing in on that core consumer of 50-plus female,” she said. QVC will launch with 19 apparel items. “The exciting part is that we’ll be able to continuously focus on drops with her. Right now we have drops planned for April, May, September, October and November,” said Sirhai. A sweater and pants from Martha Stewart Signature Apparel for QVC.

QVC is sourcing the apparel through its own Design, Development Global Sourcing Group. “We source all the goods ourselves and have an office in China that supports us,” said Sirhai. She said the consumer knows that Stewart is highly involved in every decision. “I can attest to that. I have seen her in our offices multiple times over the last several months finalizing approvals and looking at the specs and checking the colors,” said Sirhai. Stewart and her team work regularly with QVC’s team of product development executives and designers. Martha Stewart Gardening consists of 13 items ranging from $12 to $99.98. These are personal items that Stewart uses when she gardens. “It’s a great value proposition and a lot of attention to detail,” said Sirhai. On Wednesday, she’ll also introduce some new culinary items, including both food and wine items that are exclusive to QVC, and cookware for home entertaining. In food items, she’ll introduce jumbo turkey meatballs and a full smoked boneless ham in time for the spring holiday. “We did a different meatball in the fall which blew up,” said Sirhai. She’ll also introduce a wine collection and a 10-piece cookware set. “Martha is so passionate. She wants to be in studio on-air selling her product,” said Sirhai. “She was really interested in a robust, multicategory brand again and was willing to dedicate the time to sell with us,” said Sirhai.

Her attention to detail and quality of functionality that she focuses on is really endemic to what we are able to do so effectively with the customer based on our storytelling approach. She [Martha] always has stories to tell and she’s a natural storyteller and teacher. She really loves to share her approach and knowledge with her customer base. It’s very authentic,” said Sirhai. “We’re really excited about it and we have a lot of history with Martha and have no doubt it will be highly successful,” said Sirhai. Last fall, Martha Stewart and Dennis Basso added a new dimension to their 30-year friendship by appearing in QVC advertising that was splashed on two gigantic billboards in New York City, as reported.
