Jewellery & accessories store, Diva, stealing designs from artists.
”Recognised by a Hobart shopper, designs from such great sites such as Shana Logic - http://www.shanalogic.com - and Kawaii Not - http://www.kawaiinot.com - were seen in the local Diva store, crudely mass-produced, being sold for next to nothing, and with NO credit to the original artists.
Diva care so little, they didn’t even bother to change the designs one bit - a design stolen from ShanaLogic artist “Cornyness” even retained the “C” mark on it standing for Cornyness.
These designs were copied down to the last bead, and crudely mass-produced for Diva’s profit with not a word nor a cent to the original designers. This has to stop. We want Diva to stop ripping off artists and we want the artists to be compensated for what Diva has made through selling their items!”
Diva’s about section on their website is all “we know exactly where to find the newest trends to suit our market!”. Yeah, you sure do! Click the image for more examples of stuff they ripped off of people. There’s even been artist support groups created.
