They are stealing!

This is more than a copyright issue.
This is about our brand, our morals, and our ethics.

This blog is hard to write

I've wanted to vent about this issue for years. I can't explain the emotion that goes on in my head when I see someone stealing Angel Competition Bikinis' photos, trying to remove the water mark, and then making and selling the product as their own. The delay in being public about this issue stems from my overarching passion for positivity, love, and treating others as one. In the words of John Lennon, "I hope someday you will join us and the world will be as one".  A blog titled, "They Are Stealing!" isn't really something I want to dive head first into. 

What motivated me to publish this now?

Let's start with some of Angel Competition Bikinis values:

Female Empowerment
We employ strong and inspiring women and sell our products to strong and inspiring women.

Honesty, transparency, and customer loyalty
We treat every customer like a sister who is stepping on the Olympia Stage.

Ethical and sustainable manufacturing
Every suit is made from scratch at our headquarters in Lenexa, KS. Note: Some suits are cut at lined at our mom's house in Bonner Springs, KS.

What does this have to do with your core values?

Customers are confused when they see our suits listed for sale at 90% off on other websites.  It has caused first time customers to question our ethics and morals. We have had questions from customers like, "Why does ACBikinis claim they start from scratch on every suit when I can go on Alibaba.com and order their exact suit?". Our petty thought from this question is, "Please go and order that listing and see what you get in the mail", although we don't say that. It is actually impossible to order the listing below from Alibaba which is addressed in more detail below. This is more than a legal copyright issue to me. These fraudulent companies are making customers question our morals and ethics. This issue needs addressed.

Truths

We have made every single suit from scratch.
This means we start from a yard of fabric and cut and sew the suits to our customers measurements. There is absolutely no mass production, out sourcing, or factory made suits.

We have never and will never order a suit from a factory and sell it as ours.
We do not see anything wrong with ordering from a factory or wholesale, it's just not something we will ever do given the nature and custom quality  of our products. 

We have never and will never use slave labor, child labor, or any unethical manufacturing to create our suits.
This goes against our ethics, morals, and is wrong on so many levels. We encourage you to only buy from companies who align with your morals. Read more about this here.

The Alibaba listing above is committing several crimes including copyright infringement and counterfeiting.
Details below about why we can't press charges.

It's happening EVERYWHERE!

This is happening all over the world with reputable top brands like Lulu's, Free People, and many others.

They went as far as to photo shop a tatto on this Lulu's model!

They stole this photo from the magazine, Harper's Bazaar.

They might even steal from YOUR Instagram!

It's almost humorous how bad this looks.

A little better photo shop, but still a huge fail.

And they steal your backstage photos and watermark it!

What will happen if your order?

You could end up wasting your money and worse: contribute to the enviornment and slave labor issues  addressed here.

"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Don't support these awful companies!"

-Karah Jones

Why don't we stop the companies?

We would order this listing to show you the crap quality that comes in the mail, but this isn't even a real listing so that is impossible. This company is claiming they can make an exact replica of our suit, but you must order a minimum quantity of 1,000 pieces. It's VERY difficult to take legal action against a company oversees. We are a small business and do not currently have the resources to take on this battle. If you have any ideas on how we can handle this situation, please comment on this blog below and let us know.
