CHANEL LAWSUIT UPDATE: Trying to STOP Us Buying & Selling Secondhand?!! | Sophie Shohet

Описание: CHANEL vs THE REAL REAL LAWSUIT UPDATE:
Thank you to those of you who alerted me to this recent lawsuit brought by CHANEL against THE REAL REAL (A pre-loved luxury consignment website based in the U.S). It’s pretty interesting and at the same time, quite alarming for those of us to like to sell-on our items (either to get the money back out of them, or to upgrade to a new item using the funds)
Earlier this year Chanel took a vintage NYC based store to Court for the same reasons they’re stating for The Real Real. That retailer was called WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. Having a quick check, it appears they’re still in business and still selling Chanel goods.

Initially I was pleased at Chanel doing this because the basis of their claim primarily is that counterfeit/fake goods are allegedly being sold to unsuspecting customers as the real thing. Indeed, Chanel have even included in their Court files, a screengrab of a handbag for sale on The Real Real this isn’t even a bag that Chanel designed or produced.

Chanel are also playing heavy on the Copyright element and even if they cant stop people from selling their own Chanel purchases, they might have a case for copyright if permission is NOT granted to use the logo/name etc on these pre-loved sites.

So what this could mean is that it’s legal to sell your Chanel stuff – but hey, you don’t have permission to use the word “CHANEL” in your listing, nor can you show the CC logo (which is normally on the bag). So actually, you have no means of selling your stuff without getting yourself potentially sued, like the poor guy who was sued 56 MILLION DOLLARS!!!!
