Trashy Diva, my absolute favorite store for over 10 years now, and a company I have had the pleasure of working for in the past, has just been ripped off by one of their wholesale clients. The entire incident makes me absolutely livid. I get so upset seeing indie designers ripped off by big corporations, but when it’s one small business ripping off another, to me that seems even worse. Who raises these people, really?
You can read the full story on Trashy Diva’s Myspace or see the post I wrote about it for Styledash. Please help spread the word, particularly if you have a fashion or design related blog. This is an issue that affects all independent designers. I’ve heard of indies ripping off other indies on Etsy, and I just heard about this screwed up incident right after I got the word of the Trashy Diva rip-off. The whole thing just makes me sick.
Thanks for posting about this, Mallory. I don’t visit the web shop very often so I probably would have missed this. But because of your post, I have two more Trashy Diva dresses to add to my growing collection and a blog post about this as well to get more attention about this.
