SHEIN has fully gone shameless thief mode. Ugh. Hey guys, SHEIN is at it again, stealing designs without making even the slightest effort to hide what they’re doing. Remember when the company president called me and promised this wouldn’t happen again? Well, here we are. They’re not only stealing the designs, but the entire vision for each one; From how the design is styled to how the model is posed. It’s ridiculous. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) The receipts You know I’ve got ’em. Funny how it was never supposed to happen again yet I keep finding MORE?! I don’t know if I should laugh or cry. Victim #1: Hiking Superskort How creative of you to pair your copy of my skort with a white top, on a model with the same skin tone. SHOP HIKING SUPERSKORT Victim #2: Bungee Superskort I guess when I said, “Stop stealing my skort design,” SHEIN actually heard “Help yourself to all of my skort designs.” SHOP BUNGEE SUPERSKORT Victim #3: Bungee Sklegging I don’t even know what to say. Having your model hold a tennis racket doesn’t make anything about this original. SHOP BUNGEE SKLEGGING Victim #4: Tie-Breaker Superdress Sigh… SHOP TIE-BREAKER SUPERDRESS Victim #5: Twirl Dress Annnnd another attempt to copy the entire look. SHOP TWIRL DRESS Victim #6: Corset Bra Guys, I AM SO TIRED. SHOP CORSET BRA This has to stop. SHEIN seems to think they can steal a design, take it down when “caught,” and relist it under a different name. Their inventory is so massive (hi, fast fashion), that they assume stolen designs are easy to “hide,” like a dupe of my Pirouette Skort, listed with 14 pages of other skorts. But we’re catching on. Designers and small business owners like me are watching. Our communities are watching. And we’re fighting. And if you still think I’m “overreacting,” tell that to hundreds of other small business owners who unknowingly worked for free to contribute to SHEIN’s $32 billion of revenue in 2023… To Mr. Chiao, Tell me sir, what is the point of running a business with no integrity? Building a brand with no trust? I guess for $32.5 billion a year, you think stealing is just a way of business, don’t you? To my community, I didn’t want to bring this up again but I just can’t keep it in. I am boiling over with disappointment and anger. SHEIN doing this to me is one thing, but the people who will end up commenting on my post defending this billion-dollar corporation is a whole ‘nother kind of twisted. SHEIN: REMOVE MY STOLEN POPFLEX DESIGNS OFF YOUR SITE NOW. Hey guys, SHEIN is at it again, stealing designs without making even the slightest effort to hide what they’re doing.

I am so weirded out…dupe culture, exposed.

I am so weirded out…dupe culture, exposed. Hey guys, Dupe culture = counterfeit culture. There, I said it. No one wants to hear it but it’s true, and it’s getting absolutely out of control. I’m sharing with you what’s been happening with me because I am terrified of the future of dupe culture, especially with its popularity being propelled by the use of AI. There is really no point in trying to explain any of this to you through writing…so I want you to watch this video. You have to see it to believe it. The video is about 5 min and 40 sec – kind of long – but trust me, you will want to watch all the way to the end. It just gets weirder and weirder… First, let’s set the stage. My Pirouette Skort was first stolen by SHEIN, twice, and then duped numerous times all over Amazon. I eventually was awarded a design patent for my skort in hopes of having some protection. Well, it’s only gotten astronomically worse after Taylor Swift wore it this spring. Grateful forever , however, the extra exposure opened the floodgates for the counterfeiters to hijack the opportunity. There are dupers coming out from every corner of the internet and I am getting so exhausted trying to whack-a-mole each one. K, here we go. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) Uhhhhhh…did you SEE that? DID YOU SEE THAT!??? I don’t see this ending anytime soon. Actually, it will probably get worse. AI is making it way WAY too easy to steal designs, falsify images, and trick consumers into buying fake, lower quality products. It’s a lawless place in the world of fashion and no one’s paying attention to these crimes except for me and my small team, who are often notified by you guys in the DMs. Thank you for watching out for me as this becomes a bigger and bigger problem. What can we do? If you are wondering how you can help, USE THE REPORT BUTTON if you see a dupe. These are counterfeits, which are illegal, so you can mark as fraudulent. Your use of the report button is just as strong as mine. Any power we may be able to have is going to be our strength in numbers. So please, if you see something weird, report it, and tell others in our community to report it too. Thank you and love you. Hey guys, Dupe culture = counterfeit culture. There, I said it. No one wants to hear it but it’s true, and it’s getting absolutely out of control.
