So I found this little article interesting but I am not super surprised about it either Dolce & Gabbana has just sued a small,
sea-side jewelry shop in Cape Town, South Africa, for naming the store
"Dolce and Banana." According to WWD, the business has been
around for 12 years and has developed into a tourist attraction. Owner
Mijou Beller didn't have enough money to fight in the lawsuit, and has
apparently changed her name for $13,195. According to its Facebook,
it seems like Mijou has dropped the "Dolce" part in the name, and now
goes by just &Banana. It's a smart move, as far as we're concerned.
'Cause as we all know, "There's always money in the banana stand." (WWD)
Of course I got this little tidbit from refinery 29, they are always great fro a random story. I kind of feel bad for the little shop because they didn't even have the money to fight back or anything other then change the name as D&G wishes were. I wish they would go after the companies that product cheap shitty hand bags tht use child labor. But that's just me..and actually the little bracelet is pretty cute i might have to support these guys and buy it. I do love supporting small business.
