I wonder what the labels and tags on the clothing say? If it says by Banksy 🙄 Guess have a big problem.

[7star]

Can confirm the clothing labels say Banksy

Guess is in trouble big time Please Deleted My Post,

[fuzzed]

Crazy. There’s a bag on eBay for £48000 😂 sure you can get the similar fake banksy products at many market stalls!

Guess is owned by the Marciano family -

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museum_of_Contemporary_Art,_Los_Angeles

"As of August 2016, MOCA's board is headed by Guess jeans co-founder Maurice Marciano and Lilly Tartikoff Karatz."

[Daniel Silk]

So, is this good or bad for Guess?
If Banksy hadn't mentioned it, and the news gone viral, would Guess have sold so much? The clothes are pretty awful, so I couldn't have seen them shifting many, but now? With Banksy flippers?
Question is will Guess just sell their current stock and then drop the whole thing or will they see this media coverage as a good thing and maybe even expand and extend the range?

Why would someone post those bags at such crazy high prices? 😉 Even a flipper would imagine they would sell at that price.
Imagine you're Guess 😉 Will those posts on eBay encourage flippers to start hoovering up you stock, in the belief that they can flip it on for big bucks 😉 Or am I being overly suspicious?

If Banksy hadn’t of posted anything these hideous clothes would have sat on racks for months and ended up in the clearance racks.

I guess that would be embarrassing so maybe that’s why he said something. Otherwise it makes zero sense for him to run his mouth on it.

Brandalised (the entity providing the licenses to Guess) is Full Colour Black, so it is understandable that Banksy would want to make a stand here given that Pest Control have been in IP litigation with Full Colour Black for years and this appears to be a significant escalation of their attempts to monetise other people’s artwork

Agreed, and this idea that Full Colour Black was a tiny cottage industry greeting card company, a kind of David and Goliath case against Banksy, needs dispelling. Brandalised aka Full Colour Black aka Tory corporate multi-millionaire Andrew Gallagher is an ex senior marketing manager at Sony Music. A big money corporate shill with a huge PR network.

Or maybe he bought the lot and those are his many alts on eBay and you’ll start seeing these make the rounds at the AH’s….

Are you all willfully blind or…?

Perhaps we should just start referring to him as Trademark Stephens

Looks to me like Louis Vuitton might also have a dog in this fight… hmm (needed word not wanted)

All looks like a crock of shit anyway, fluffy baby clothes for grown ups. Blah

‘adults’ aren’t really their target market… not by a long long long long shot.

[Daniel Silk]

Looks like they are even doing Banksy Guess Stickers! 😳

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334633127803

Do you think they are selling these in the stores individually or maybe they come as part of the labels on the clothing?

[Daniel Silk]

Lots of different opinions on this Banksy v Guess incident.
I wonder if he still thinks his Instagram post was a good idea or does he maybe now regret saying anything?

[Daniel Silk]

Do we think Banksy checked with his legal team before making his Instagram post? I doubt it. I wonder what they said to him when they saw what he had said 😂

[Daniel Silk]

Haaaaa 😂 love how the reporter says "Banksy" 😆
Without the Banksy Instagram post this story would have never been making the news worldwide like this.

The stickers are for free in the parcel, when you order something via webshop. It's a free gift from guess. Guess will no stop the sale, because it's legal ... www.guess.com

As for the LPs of Banksy ( most are not ) on sale on Discogs, it's only speculators selling on ebay at crazy prices to control and fake the market. Nothing new. It has appeared 6 years ago, as for Invader 3 years ago...

[mojo]

I don't like any of it enough to steal it, the handbags look like they cost a fiver off a market stall and those fluffy jackets are hideous. However, I will go and have a browse at their shop and I really hope none of my pens leak or I spill anything. Definitely a case for the fashion police let alone the copyright lawyers. 

[G$]

This fight between Banksy and Guess is like the WWE here in the USA. Children don't know that it's all been staged, and more mature fans are simply experts at the willful suspension of disbelief.

2 tired brands make a backroom deal to hype one another's stock going into the holidays. 🥱

to create  the  demand!   even at a 10th of the price the seller would make out lke a bandit.    

[Daniel Silk]

I expect Guess call Brandalised and they reassure them that legally Banksy can't do anything 😕 or can he?
