Chanel Letters

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.

It's not my thing either, though I think there's a big difference from patterned letters to that wedding *shudder*

But then I'm not really a "couture" kind of girl either.

I like Coach and Gucci and Chanel (to an extent), but for some reason it kinda takes away from the letters, and to me the letters don't really stand out.

Are companies even allowed to carry such patterns, though? I'm no legal expert, but I'm guessing trademark infringement might be an issue?

My point above before Drole took a kick at me. You cannot copy the patterns at all. That is why whenLV knockoffs are confiscated, they are burned.

OP, Do youg big a favor. Buy her a really cool pair of Chanel vintage earrings.

I don't think she meant she wanted to create her own faux Chanel pattern. And I only said something because I felt she was being treated like a troll in our forum.

Eh, I have no interest in any of them. My purses come from Kohls or TJ Maxx and I just don't see the point in spending money on a name.

I've only ever seen them on eBay where tons of questionable things exist anyway. Where do they get the fabric in the first place? That's my question. If they're purchasing it legally, I don't know why they can't sell it as "X fabric letters" or whatever. It'd only be infringement if they're fake. Cannibalizing other items for the fabric would be more questionable, but still legal for sale I'd think. (IANAL of course).

Pardon the crash, but I am CRYIN' after looking at these pictures. Oh my lord! And WHAT IS ON HER TOOTH??? One of the other posters asked if it was a logo -- please god, tell me she doesn't have LV on her tooth on her wedding day...

Pardon the abbreviations, but WTF?
And I bet she has a full closet of knock-offs.
