«Breaking News» Topman and PLT accused of 'ripping out labels' from cheaper products

Eagle-eyed shoppers have accused fashion brands off 'ripping out' labels from cheaper products and re-selling them with their own tags stitched in. 

Retailer PrettyLittleThing has been accused of selling off the cheaply-made products at inflated prices under their own brand name. Meanwhile Topman shoppers also found other labels beneath the branded tags.  

One Twitter user, known only as KT (@katiewaddilove) and believed to be from the UK, posted a photo of a pair of Pretty Little Thing tracksuit bottoms which appeared to show the remnants of a label belonging to Fruit of the Loom - a much cheaper brand whose men's joggers start at around £5. 

She captioned the snap: 'So @OfficialPLT are selling £6-£12 fruit of the loom joggers, cutting the labels out and charging £20 for products they haven't even manufactured themselves?'

The post attracted a flurry of comments of equally unimpressed consumers who had also spotted the trend on items from Arcadia-owned Topshop.

It is not clear when on the production line the alleged label swapping took place. 

Factories commonly produce garments for more than one retailer so it is possible the label replacement took place then. 

Both PrettyLittleThing and Topman have been contacted for comment.

Topman has been accused of ripping off labels from other brands (pictured, a ripped label from an unknown brand can be seen underneath the Topman tag). Fruit of the Loom is a leading garment manufacturer that sells plain T-shirts, jumpers and sweatpants

A shopper named Mae posted a video of herself unthreading a Pretty Little Thing label to find yet another Fruit of the Loom label, writing: 'Yeah looks like @OfficialPLT finessed us all.'

Byrony Flaherty tweeted: 'Same on my joggers, you can see where the old label is cut off and where they've stitched their label over the top *how bad, not gonna be shopping on pretty little thing anymore!'

Similarly, Alex Hughes unpicked the label of his Topman joggers and noticed they appeared to have done the same thing. He wrote: '@Topman do it too!' 

However the original details on their labels cannot be seen.  

Another Twitter user called out PrettyLittleThing for seemingly sewing their own label over that of another, cheaper brand, although the retailer is not known

A fourth social media user found what appeared to be a cut-off label underneath their PrettyLittleThing tag (pictured), although the brand of the original label is not known  

The original poster KT later added: 'And to people replying saying “it’s business” or “most brands do this,” YES but usually they’ll add their own logos or designs. 

'Whereas PLT here have not only done a sloppy job removing the original labels but also not altered the product in any way to justify the > 100% profits made!'

Fruit of the Loom is a leading garment manufacturer that sells plain T-shirts, jumpers and sweatpants at prices typically under £10.

Pretty Little Thing is a fast fashion brand favoured by young girls, however it frequently comes under fire on social media for undersizing its products and 'catfishing' consumers with clothes that look extremely different to how they do online.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
