After 32 years, fashion designer Stan Herman is winding down his time at QVC .

While designing is “always easy,” the trek to West Chester, Pa., for live shows became a bit more difficult, according to Herman. Also, after looking at footage of himself on-air, he decided, ‘You don’t want to be a little old man, running around — looking past due. This is a good time for you to finish your book and finish your life in a different way, he said. “That’s part of your career — knowing when your career is.”

Estimating that he sold “tens of millions of units” via QVC , Herman said there was a time when he sold 300,000 to 400,000 units per year. Now his annual QVC sales range between 50,000 and 100,000 units.

A media request to QVC was not immediately returned Monday.
