 Re: Relabeling American Apparel t-shirt
Yes, I doubt shops will be raided by the police.
It's more to do with, in my experience, the retailers refusing to stock them. At least anywhere beyond boutique shops.
They might have different labels for their wholesale exports, perhaps, or the retailer just never checked (or that they could get away with it). If someone complains, its the retailer who will be fined (and fined heavily....something like GBP5000 an item)
Although I did see a couple of Threadless shirts being sold in Notting Hill, at about GBP35 a pop. I have a sneaky feeling they bought them for $15 from the site, and are reselling them (at a nice GBP28 profit....or $US50). That would mean they weren't ever intended for retail bricks & mortar stores. |
