I don’t think we shoul “just note it and move on” as Greg suggest it. This kind of situation should be taken to consequences.

:O! I am really sad about this… I was a huge fan (and buyer) of Oilily clothes. I never thought they would do such a thing. They have lost a client.

there is a website that shows this kind of stuff happens all the time. You should post it there.

This is terrible, and it’s clear from the photo that the quality of Rosa’s dolls was lost in translation. Stuff like this makes me feel ill. You’d think that a large company like that would have a creative team that could come up with something original. Sheesh.

Oilily just lost another fan. If Oilily can’t come up with original ideas, then they shouldn’t be in the business of selling themselves as creative and unique. This is a big enough issue between small artists but for a large company, it seems even more shameful and callous.

I just read about this through Skout. I think it’s appalling these companies believe they can get away with it because they are ‘only’ ripping off small competitors. I will be writing to them to let them know how I feel, and spreading the word about this as well.

dear rosa,
this is terrible- i really feel for you. i was an oilily fan for about the last 10 years, mistakenly thinking that they were a leader in originality. now i wonder how many other artists they have ripped off!! i am boycotting oilily indefinitely and asking everyone i know to do the same.
i am writing a letter to oilily, and hope many othrs do the same.
i agree with the previous post that you should launch a campaign on youtube to start with. i also think you should sue, if possible.
oilily stinks!!!!
