There is a new store in Wellington, New Zealand, selling rip off Threadless t's. The tags either either say they were Made by our friends in China or Imported into Mexico by.., but those that fall into the first category also state that the shirts were Designed in NZ.

Some of those that were supposedly designed by NZders are:
Nuts!
Peace and Hate: Can you tell the difference?
Death: Our nations number one killer.
Piggy Bank Heist

Others that were "sourced from Mexico"..
Dad?
Technology Ruins Nature
Unicorn
If you can read this, make me a sandwich.
etc (I'm sure there were more, but I can't remember..)

They are all almost identical to those on Threadless, some are printed onto a different colour t but thats about it.

This store is also right around the corner from a stockist of genuine Threadless t's. It is not down some random alleyway, it is, in fact, on a street where many high fashion designers have their stores - across the road from Calvin Klein.

I might expect to see this kind of blatant disregard for copyright at markets or when I went to Thailand, but I'm saddened and pretty angry to see it here.

So what should I do?!?
