Lilly Pulitzer fabric is available to purchase by the yard. Chances are good the fabric used for Lilly letters is legit.

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.

I can't believe this thread has gone this long without a helpful post telling us all where to find LV letters at a great price.
And really? LV letters for a guy?

I though Phi Delta Theta, since they often call themselves "Phis."
But my assumption that these are for a guy came from the title of the thread, which asks where to find "fraternity logos."

I also thought AEPhi. And she was looking for a gift for a guy.

Only if she were asking for Ed Hardy, I suppose.

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

So, instead of judging you (which doesn't help you and makes the judger look silly), I decided to help. One of the sites I know has since taken their designer items down, however this site still offers them and they do GREAT work. I can't speak highly enough of the item I own from them, it's probably the best quality greek stitch item I own. https://www.stitchzone.com/

Alpha Phi IS a fraternity..... (not that the OP would understand that, though).
Gottcha! (For once  )
