Chanel Letters

[Sigkapash]

I was initiated this last semester. My big and I are both obsessed with Chanel. She was in California one day and saw a girl wearing Chanel letters and told me about them. We were both so excited.

However, we can not find them anywhere. She tried to get them for me for initiation but she couldn't find them and I have been looking everywhere as well.

I would really like to get her some as a thank you for everything. If anyone knows where I could find them or can help that would be amazing.

Thank you!

Probably on some street corner in New York City. Look for the Made in China label.

I'm sure if they were authentic, Neimans or a Chanel boutique would have it.

Next we'll hear that Coco Chanel was a Sigma Kappa! LOL

This isn't meant to flame the OP in any way as I'm just stating an opinion...

But is it just me? Whenever I see letters with trademarked logos on sorority letters, I can't help but cringe. And then I think about the Louis Vuitton wedding.

Nutbrnhair, Benzgirl, please stop.

Sigkapash, I've not seen Chanel letters nor does a Google search turn up anything. I'd say your best bet is to find Chanel fabric and get letters made from them. I'd check ebay for the fabric. I'm not a big ebayer so there might be letters on there though I'm not seeing them.

Good luck!

and thanks for standing up for me lol.


i saw gucci, lv, and coach on another website so i figured they would have them somewhere.
i wanted her to have something that not many other people have with letters because its hard to be different when everyone goes to the same websites.

[Sigkapash]

thanks. but you havent come across them on any websites like i know there is coach and gucci etc on universityconnection.net

For Chanel fabric, you could buy a scarf. Should be plenty for two sets of letters.

thank you SoCalGirl and Drolefille.
you guys were both a big help!

i will definitely check ebay and my local fabric stores.

If a vendor puts patterned letters on a sweatshirt requested by a customer it is the VENDOR'S responsibility to cover all bases related to copyrights. If they advertise a pattern and seem legit, it is assumed they have the right to use it.

If they did not have the right to use the pattern the worse that would happen to the customer is they might be asked to return the letters. Any other issues are the VENDOR'S problem for advertising something they did not have the right to sell.

I'm speaking from personal experience, I have seen it happen.

My only hypothetical is lets say the vendor doesn't use any "samples" showing Kappa Kappa Gamma or Sigma Kappa or whatever. They just say "sweatshirts with and sort of letters on them" Are they required to be a Greek vendor if the customer orders a Sigma and a Kappa?

Taken from SK website
"What are licensed vendors?
Vendors who have agreed to work with Sigma Kappa Sorority to ensure the proper use of our trademarks and to sell quality merchandise at reasonable prices. Many licensed vendors provide a royalty payment to the national organization in support of our educational programs and services. "

Like with the designer letters, SK owns trademarks and such for our organization and may receive royalties from the use of them. That and trying to ensure things that have the Sigma Kappa logos/letters on them are classy and portray a positive image of our sorority are the reasons to use licensed vendors.

I think you're missing the point of my post. As long as they do not advertise using a Greek org's letters, can a vendor "get in trouble" for filling a customer's order? Like if I go to the local department store, family owned, that does embroidery, and ask for my letters on a jacket. Are they actually doing something "wrong" by filling that order?

The rest of it is irrelevant to my question and to the spam post since that site was indeed a licensed vendor.
