@yam_nyc: UPDATE PART 3: I got a response from the designer at anthropologie. What do we think? #yamhome #smallbusinesstips #anthropologie #apartmentdecor
Absolutely send them to her. You’ve clarified your business expectations and she is responding stating no intention to copy which means when it is copied, you’ll have a massive lawsuit because there’s no plausible deniability.

What card did she use? 😂 That would settle the question of whether they were gifts or them being sneaky. Company card or personal debit/credit card

I think you should let her know you will ship them to a private address if she confirms in writing they are not being ordered for business purposes and will not be copied by Anthropologie or its other entities. Let her know that if they are copied you have it in writing and will take legal action….. I honestly think she will cancel the order. Just the threat of legal action and having her personally saying it in writing is enough of a threat to her position that she will decline. Anthropologie may not care, but having a lawsuit tied to her would probably loose her her job.

The section about limited quantities and if she was ordering too much and not letting others enjoy seems strange and stands out.

I’d post still now this has been emailed and there is a paper trail. If they want to steal your designs they will find a way.

Sounds fishy. But the sad part is if she wants to order them anyway, she will place an order as a regular customer and just change the address. Nothing is guaranteed anymore. So sad.

Unless it’s something super expensive or needs a signature on delivery, I’m not usually having anything shipped to me at work.

Them acting like they could do you a favor by hooking you up with the collab team is ridiculous.

They were so nice and explained how my work would be presented on the phone before they stole it for their line … I wouldn’t trust them at all

She is trying to “handle” you, with a lie. I would still cancel the order. No one is having personal gifts shipped to work 😏

Can you see the billing address? That will tell you if it’s a company card or not. If the billing is not a residential address she’s lying.

Why did she break up her order into 2 smaller orders? Could it be to avoid the optics of "placing an order of that size"?

I will say, a lot of people in the comments are finding it crazy that she’d have a personal purchase delivered to her office but I worked at Free People’s home office (the same location as anthro since they’re all owned by the same company) and A LOT of the employees have their personal purchases shipped there because the stealing off of the stoops in philly is out of hand 😭😭😭

FactsOverFiction :
Yeah, Anthropology is lying. 😏 You explicitly said, “If there is any interest in carrying our new home decor line, can you please have the appropriate buyers reach out?” — So why did they respond with, “If you are interested in collaborating with the home team I could absolutely pass that along to my coworkers on the artist collab team! Please let me know, I'd be more than happy to.” 😏 You literally already let them know.

I’ve worked at headquarters in the design department of a few big companies I won’t say names but they use the samples to send to the suppliers to duplicate. Usually make small changes sometimes not lol but they were likely going to do what you thought. They just got caught
