It's tacky enough to begin with, then adding counterfeit and illegal to the mix just up the classiness to a whole new level.
Honest question because I have no clue: so are the Lilly Pulitzer letters real and not just a knock off print to look like her stuff? I've seen a thread pop up here about Lilly letters but I never read it and I don't feel like searching it cause I'm browsing from my phone right now lol

I don't know if Lily Pulitzer licenses their fabric. I am 99.9% sure that Louis Vuitton doesn't license out fabric with it's logo so that any idiot out there could make someone LV. Someone's reproducing it and it's a violation of trademark law.

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.

I'm just envisioning all the guys in your class looking at the questions on that, being really confused and epic failing.

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.

Perhaps it is only a shock to my delicate sense of fashion, or at least my anti-tackiness sensibilities.
