I’ve never heard of that publication, will take a look. Idk if US or German law has a better understanding of theft and property rights, but now that we have gay marriage, women and Black people voting, and no-fault divorce, I don’t take the current status of legal codes as the final word on moral issues. </p> <p>Rachylou, there are probably even more angular designs in the world than these two examples. But looking at that ad copy, it sure was important to someone to sell this as an exotic, ethnic thing. That in itself is offensive to me. </p> <p>I’ve decided not to buy the cardi, even on sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desigual#post-2176701 Sat, 06 Mar 2021 23:56:00 +0000 cat2 2176701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whether it’s IP theft is a question of German law. In the U.S. we have limited protection for fashion design and fabric or knitting patterns. The Fashion Law is a blog that does a great job of explaining it all. It may be cultural appropriation even if it’s not actual theft, but this design may not be authentic enough to raise those concerns. I asked previously about Pendleton and was told they do a good job of licensing their designs so I do wear some of their products, but much of their production is also outsourced. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desigual#post-2176391 Fri, 05 Mar 2021 19:53:17 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2176391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Minaminu, that reference is brilliant.

The company answered the question themselves. I don’t think this is the ethics I’m looking for:<br /> <i> Desigual uses several suppliers in different parts of the world, which change every year and with each of our collections. Therefore, we cannot provide you with a complete list of countries and suppliers.<br /> PM 2:40 PM<br /> We can assure you that we pay particular attention to ensuring that both we and our suppliers comply with the laws and regulations governing work and safety: both those applicable to each country individually and the various international agreements.</i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/desigual#post-2176299 Fri, 05 Mar 2021 13:40:39 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2176299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Who knows about their production methods? I might like this cardi, but they sure are clear about having lifted it from Navajos. I don’t know if that’s even true. Maybe they think intellectual property theft is cool. That said, I’ve been saying that I want a longer burgundy topper for some time now. </p> <p><a href="https://www.desigual.com/de_DE/20SWJFX53190.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.desigual.com/de_DE/20SWJFX53190.html</a> </p>
