Later in the day she received a message from a lovely person who informed her that a lady from the Ukraine is basically copying her work with some slight variations and selling it online. Rach had a look and many of the similarities are undeniable. Have a look at the comparisons below and see if you think they are copies or just a coincidence. There is no doubt that she had copied her bird design which is pretty original. She says the work is designed by herself but I think she has had a little help!!!

The photos on the right are original designs by Rach.
What can you do?????
Yep.....a copy cat..for sure
ReplyDeleteHave you tried to reverse image search your items. When you do sometimes things like this come up. If they are so similar then Google will find them. I truly hope that things like this don't stop you from showing us your amazing creations, they are an inspiration and a lovely addition to my day.
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are so lovely! :)

Can't believe there are low life's like that who copy other people's work and pass it as their own. Ask your sister to contact this woman and demand an explanation!!
ReplyDeleteThe lady has actually removed her profile details and her items for sale so we this that she got the message. There were some other things in her shop that we think were other people's designs as well so she has removed everything!!! We really don't mind people people being inspired by our work as lots of people inspire us but not exactly copying and selling online. I know it can be hard to come up you your own style but the more you make, the more it becomes distinctly yours. That's what Rach has done and now she has a very particular style which is great. Thanks everyone for your support of Rach!
