*** because people might stumble over the amount of comments (THANKS FOR ALL!!!!!) I changed the entry and made a short synopsis of everything ... hope it helps ***
a deviantart fellow told me that my illustrations
and
got ripped off by ZARA.
For those who don't know Zara ... it's a fashion label like H&M.
Items:
Zara Baby girl sweater (with an uglyfied version of "Whassat?")
Zara baby boy sweater (with an also uglyfied version of "Stuck" ... I guess it was the same (un)creative who did the girl's one)
Status Girl's Sweater found! Lawyer got the photos ... *crossing fingers*
Boy's Sweater: still not found.
What you can do to help IF you have some free time and are able to stop by a Zara (Outlet) be so kind and look for it. The first one who sees it: BUY IT!I'll pay for it including shipping.
The one who's able to get one get an original illustration from my last children's book. (canvas)
Keep me updated, I can't tell you how much I owe you. =.=
I know that the possiblity is high that it's "an awefully close inspired clone" and that they might have bought a stock from gods know who. But it doesn't make it any better.
What you should NEVER EVEN THINK OF DOING Never write hate mails. Never flame. Don't behave like a 4-years-old and blow it up. I only want the sweater and for the rest I have a lawyer. He will take care of the rest. I am grateful for every one who helps and supports and till now everybody played really fair -keep it up. Thanks!
I keep you updated and inform you about what's going on. K?
Why I won't stop searching Many people already were so kind and did research. I got many comments like the following (from
):
"So I went to the mall today, and went straight to Zara. I spent a good half hour looking for that sweater. So I finally asked the saleswoman, if they "still have that adorable baby sweater with a hippo on the moon printed on it" and to which she replied.... "Oh I know what you're talking about!" D:
She also said they're out of stock right now."
So the salespeople know it. Great! ... they don't have it anymore.. uncool. But there should be a little chance to get that damn thing, right? I hope some of you are in the mood of kicking asses. Because I am.
Why I think companies do it ... even if you think "Sure... they have enough money... why should they..".
Because cases of the past prove that those money-making fashion stores for the masses are not really that creative.

The OMG-WTF-Number ONE Girl Sweater found by
at least that would explain why some people said: Girl's Sweater and some got told it's a boy sweater.
I hope my shaking comes from the room temperature.
Still one sweater out there. Double copy fail... wtf!

Please sue their butts.
If you have any time and money, could you walk by and buy it tomorrow or at the week-end? I'll pay for shipping and the pullover. And I need another shot of the label.
The more the better. *add many nasty words for ZARA here*
Thanks a bunch for the photo
I am in South America though so the shipping is probably going to be outrageous. I paid $15 to mail some chocolate to the US a while ago.
email or note whichever is fine for you. Mail is trenchmaker@yahoo.de (won't be back online until Sunday afternoon since we gonna pck up our kittehs this week-end o.o ).
I told you before I'd writte ZARA and asked hem where it could be fine or if they have a picture, they've answered me, finally:
"Estimada Srta._________,
Ante todo queremos agradecerle el interés mostrado hacia nuestros productos.
Sin embargo, le informamos que el artículo de su interés ya no se comercializa en nuestros establecimientos y no se encuentra disponible.
Lamentamos no poder atender su petición y esperamos que esto no nos impida seguir contando con su presencia en nuestras tiendas.

What comes to mean that the t-shirt is not longer available at the shops. So you'll only be able to find it if someone alreade have it. At least they know about it.
See u
