Thursday Friday Company now knocking off Chanel!

It is no secret that Delortae Agency is committed to brand protection, designers copyright and trademark infringement. Our Authentication Service is recommended by Major Brand Houses, PayPal, law enforcement, Trading Standards, Office of Fair Trading, small claim courts, respected auction houses, insurance and credit card companies. 

It appears they are at it again, those eco-friendly canvas tote screening company are launching a new range of knock offs, this time Chanel is in their sights.


 
Remember they were at the centre of the Hermes sues Thursday Friday saga it seems they are not content to leave it there, they have launched a range of the Chanel toes.

Thursday Friday will unveil their newest potential canvas controversy, the “Diamond Together bag” collection, which looks a amazingly like an original quilted Chanel bag.

The launch will incorporate a regular “Together bag” ($65) an even roomier tote, the “Super Together bag” ($95) , a blown-up version of the original Together tote, plus a line of smaller bags, “Here wallets” ($35), with key chains made of fox fur, seen below.




Here’s your Thursday Friday refresher course, in case you’re not familiar:
First, there was the Thursday Friday Together bag--a canvas tote donning a screen print of an Hermès Birkin. They got sued by Hermès for copyright infringement.

Then came the Thursday Friday Braids Together bag that looked exactly like a signature Miu Miu bag. Thanks in large part to the huge amount of publicity the Hermès lawsuit got, the totes.

And finally, last week, Thursday Friday discovered that Indian company Sudesh Art was selling knocked-off versions of their knockoffs on eBay. Oh, the irony.

If, after all of this, you’re wondering where you can get yourself one: the Diamonds Together bags will be available tomorrow at Thursday Friday.

Better act fast: we have a feeling Chanel isn’t going to put up with this for long.

There Is Now A Knockoff Of The Thursday Friday Birkin Knockoff:

Thursday Friday, the company who was sued by Hermès for their replica tote bag (pictured left), has found replicas of their own bags on eBay UK.

While the article provided no photograph of the alleged knocked-off knockoffs, we did some research of our own and found not only a photo of the New Delhi-manufactured totes, but also their US eBay listing. 

Produced by a company named “Sudesh Art,” the bags are sold as three “Together Totes” (by contrast, Thursday Friday’s are called “Together Bags”) for $39.99—a steal compared to Thursday 
Friday’s $65 price for a single handbag.

According to WWD, Thursday Friday has contacted eBay in hopes of having the listings removed, but no word as of yet to if they will be. What next I hear you ask, what about Thursday Friday's latest replica tote of the Miu Miu.




Thursday Friday’s Latest Designer Replica Bag With A Wait List? The Miu Miu Tote




Who knew that even designer replica bags have wait lists. But leave it to Thursday Friday—the Los Angeles-based handbag company famous for screen-printing images of iconic designer bags onto canvas totes—to set the bar high. After all, the brand was sued by Hermès earlier this year for using the Birkin image in a way that was allegedly “confusing, misleading, and deceiving the public” (the case was finally settled earlier this month). Now, Thursday Friday is back with a line of Miu Miu-inspired canvas totes and make-up bags, which are already on back order until at least July. And just in case Miu Miu doesn’t take the “sincerest form of flattery” route, you’d better add your name to the wait list before the legal claws come out.

Thursday Friday bags range from $25 – $65 and can be purchased online here on Thursday Friday’s website. content thank you to SheFinds.
