As for Lily Pulitzer, it's possible that someone could use print that looks like Lily Pulitzer (as LP's stuff doesn't involve a logo like LV's), but they can't sell it as "Lily Pulitzer" letters - that's not legal unless it is licensed by LP.
Flashbacks to my Trademarks class final that I aced - it was about fake handbags.

Aye, but it doesn't fall down to the customer to care unless they want to.
You can buy LV fabric (or a reasonable facsimile I suppose) by the yard online along with Chanel, Prada, Gucci, D&G, and so on. I haven't the foggiest idea of the quality or authenticity, but if one just wants the look well then you can have it. Kind of like how if it takes an experienced eye to look at a purse and tell if it's counterfeit - contrasting the inner fabric with the outer material, determining if the right die was used on the metal work and so on - well who cares? I have family who play the "buy it off the back of the truck" game and it works for them.
I don't care for the idea for Greek Letters (fabric = status
), but it's out there and pretending like it's a ridiculous idea or a shock to our delicate sensibilities is silly.
