RiffRaff Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Bought a jacket from TKM some months ago - lovely material, good (lucky!) fit, price level just right for me, so absolutely no complaints. Went to put something in (what I thought was) the inside breast pocket, but instead started to prise the "Rochas Paris" label off by mistake. I could see it wasn't the same name/label underneath, and it got the better of me - I gently teased it off to reveal ......"Pellini Uomo Collezione" Still a nice jacket, but has TKM been duped by a supplier? Have I been duped?! Is re-labelling a common practice, I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bethsmummy Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Keep peeling. There's probably a primark label under the pellini one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it just seemed curious how the jacket purported to stem from a French "designer", but turned out to be Italian......or is it?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthly Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 A lot of people look down their nose at T.K.Maxx but they often stock really good stuff, you just have to be lucky and go there when the good stuff is in; I picked up a good leather jacket from there once, it wasn't a well known brand in this country but the jacket is awesome, my sexual prowess with the ladies go's sky high when I put it on.

JFKvsNixon Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Maybe both labels use the same factory in China to make their clothes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natjack Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Imagine that with Pellini being a designer label, anyone selling their stuff on is obliged to remove their labels. If they can't remove them, covering them up is an alternative? http://www.londononline.co.uk/profiles/125694/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiffRaff Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Maybe both labels use the same factory in China to make their clothes? Maybe so.... Imagine that with Pellini being a designer label, anyone selling their stuff on is obliged to remove their labels. If they can't remove them, covering them up is an alternative? Again, perhaps so... fingers crossed for a Paul Costelloe navy pinstripe suit, 44 chest, over-labelled accordingly then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pop in there loads of times ,one day while popping in for my usual fix I saw a Vivian westwood handbag priced at £30 I grabbed it and thought nahh this can`t be right ,I took it to the till and it was wrong but because the tag said £30 they sold it to me for that I was well chuffed...........x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
