Seriously shady of them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-about-urban-outfitters-copying-small-designers#post-359964 Thu, 02 Jun 2011 01:47:22 +0000 Sarah 359964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We keep our eyes on the HRC (human rights campaign) list of companies to avoid, <a href="http://www.hrc.org/buyersguide2011/ranking.html?category=1219" rel="nofollow">http://www.hrc.org/buyersguide.....egory=1219</a><br /> but this is more for human rights, less for the rest of their ethical standpoint. It's a start! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-about-urban-outfitters-copying-small-designers#post-357089 Fri, 27 May 2011 20:10:57 +0000 medusa 357089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sarah, I know just what you mean! I'm thinking about not buying any more from Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, or Free People (all the same company).</p> <p>I wish I had a list of more-ethical retailers to shop at. Anyone heard of such a thing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-about-urban-outfitters-copying-small-designers#post-357063 Fri, 27 May 2011 19:10:06 +0000 Sarah 357063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>terrible! I'm really upset that I just ordered some stuff from UO yesterday. Makes me regret a lot of Anthro/UO purchases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-about-urban-outfitters-copying-small-designers#post-357054 Fri, 27 May 2011 18:37:31 +0000 rae 357054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So slimy! Would it be so hard for them to cut a deal with the designers and stock the real items?? I don't think I'll be buying from UO any time soon. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-about-urban-outfitters-copying-small-designers#post-357037 Fri, 27 May 2011 18:08:50 +0000 Jonesy 357037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Despicable. My warmth toward UO has significantly cooled. And you know that this isn't random at all--they probably have a whole department of employees whose job is to scour the Interwebs looking for people to steal from! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-about-urban-outfitters-copying-small-designers#post-357020 Fri, 27 May 2011 17:41:46 +0000 marianna 357020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow. Just wow. Not good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-about-urban-outfitters-copying-small-designers#post-356956 Fri, 27 May 2011 16:38:05 +0000 patti 356956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And blatant: I Heart New York and I Heart Destination??? Come on UO, you can afford to hire your own designers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-about-urban-outfitters-copying-small-designers#post-356946 Fri, 27 May 2011 16:29:18 +0000 Vani 356946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is disgusting and appalling </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-about-urban-outfitters-copying-small-designers#post-356916 Fri, 27 May 2011 15:59:12 +0000 MsMary 356916@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, man. That is just so bad. Just pitiful.</p> <p>SHAME ON THEM!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-about-urban-outfitters-copying-small-designers#post-356907 Fri, 27 May 2011 15:54:53 +0000 rosee 356907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Before I comment, I had to post this to my facebook page -- that so pees me off. Suspected it before but good to have proof in print. I was always suspicious of those stores for some reason. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-about-urban-outfitters-copying-small-designers#post-356863 Fri, 27 May 2011 15:16:21 +0000 wilson 356863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is really pathetic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-about-urban-outfitters-copying-small-designers#post-356857 Fri, 27 May 2011 15:10:53 +0000 medusa 356857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, maybe you need to go tell Urban Outfitters to stop being so naughty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-about-urban-outfitters-copying-small-designers#post-356852 Fri, 27 May 2011 15:03:44 +0000 Angie 356852@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this yesterday. Very, very, VERY bad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/article-about-urban-outfitters-copying-small-designers#post-356846 Fri, 27 May 2011 14:59:20 +0000 medusa 356846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just saw this article:<br /> <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/26/urban-outfitters-continue_n_867604.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....67604.html</a></p> <p>about Urban Outfitters (and Anthropologie) copying from independent designers on Etsy. I know that in fashion people copy each other's ideas all the time, but for a big company to take ideas from small businesses seems a bit much. </p> <p>What do you think? </p>
