Actually, it does make the design theirs. They do not sell vintage reproduction clothing, it is clothing BASED ON vintage styles. I've never seen anyone defend theft quite like this? Do you happen to maybe work for the dishonest people doing this? @”too bad, so sad”

There really is nothing to be done, other than to be flattered and move on. It's unfortunate that people have to come to stealing.

I've actually visited the unique-vintage website and seen those Thrashy Diva-copies many, many times without even realising that they're not by Trashy Diva. This actually annoys me almost as much as Dolce&Gabbana ripping off Marimekko. I'm definitely not shopping at Unique Vintage ever again. Thank you so much for posting about this, Jennine.

Having a customer come in to Trashy Diva wanting the knock-off print, being excited to think TD is coming out with new designs... it is despicable to trick your customers like that. And not labeling some of the TD designs on the website, too! One of the bigger problems I have with this, is the confusion it causes in the customers.

The sad thing is, yeah, it has become acceptable to so many people. I posted about this in a local New Orleans forum last night, just to let people know, and the first two comments I got were along the lines of "That's just fashion, learn to live with it or get out." Just because things happen all of the time doesn't mean they're right and it doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to do something to stop them when you can. The world of fashion is also notorious for exploiting labor, including child labor, around the world. Does that mean we should just suck it up, say "these things happen, get over it?" No. We as consumers deserve the right to be informed, make decisions that are best for us and then live with our own conscience. Thanks so much for posting about this!

We've almost been conditioned to accept this as the norm because we're so accustomed to seeing this happen in reverse. It stinks when it happens to the independent! it just never ends.
