Mossimo for Target has ripped off littleoddforest’s original design

so, it is Mossimo for Target, who has ripped off my littleoddforest ORIGINAL handmade Hoot The Owl Sling Purse, which I created and have been making since 2007.

we could not find any direct email addresses anywhere in their website, and so the only thing i could do was contact them via their web contact form. twice, under 2 different options. hopefully they will get back to me asap and remove the said item from their shelves

if you don’t know what’s going on, littleoddforest’s ORIGINAL HANDMADE DESIGN of the Hoot The Owl Sling Purse, which I cam up with in Year 2007, and is and has only been handmade with love, has been COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF & CHEAPLY MASS PRODUCED by TARGET in the United States. Please know that you are only buying quality handmade fabric bags made with lots of love by us, and not very cheaply mass-produced in a factory production assembly line ;(

I hope everyone can respect only original designs and their designers, and NOT SUPPORT COPYCATS, large or small, corporations or indie designers, because they are all THIEVES and profiting from ripping off from all our original creations.

before i go enjoy my friday night out….

After having so many commercial copycats of my Treelings for the past couple of years, for the very first time, I have photo evidence!

I, littleoddforest, and Forestprints Design, have absolutely NOTHING to do with these FAKE Treelings, found selling in a Shopping Mall in Bangkok, Thailand. I have NOT sold any rights nor licenses to ANY third parties to mass-manufacture my Treelings in such an ugly way and in bulk. These Treelings are all COPIES manufactured by this FACTORY in Thailand.

The REAL Treelings are ALL HANDMADE ONLY BY ME, MYSELF and I, ONLY IN SINGAPORE. WITH OCCASIONAL HELP ONLY FROM MY MUM, and sold ONLY at MY WEBSITE and mentioned STOCKISTS listed in my website, and NO WHERE ELSE.

These COPYCAT trees do not even have enough leaves on its crown. Poor things!

It’s only a tree for goodness sake. Have the decency to add some tree trunks, branches, change the eyes, the way you sew the leaves, etc. if you really want to make a tree plush for commercial use! Dang!
