They even *reinstated* the Kambriel design name, after my initial contact last year, when they removed Kambriel from the item title, but left it in URLs. When re-checked, they'd put the name back in the titles too.

Must think my name on their clothing has some worth to keep labelling them such...

It’s keyword spamming search engines. Might try contacting Google and others to see if they can do something regarding their search rankings

Also if you can find out who is hosting the websites and contact them.

I'm one of the 1st independent gothic clothing designers with collections since 1994, have decades of media coverage, inc. many features in Gothic Beauty Mag which would be right up their alley. But you know, they were "entirely unfamiliar" & ~probably~ got it from a random British dude's name...

They weren't "entirely unfamiliar" when they decided to a.) not take my name off the searchable url & b.) reinstate the name after a bit of time had passed.

I have 30 years of experience & a solid reputation for high quality work. It is ~not ok~ to fool people & coat-tail ride off another's work.

I've had my own site/s online since the 90s so it's interesting they just specify "Etsy shop". Also, does the last sentence seem a bit of a dig?

Didn't mention this last year because I thought it was resolved (besides them not taking Kambriel off the urls). But putting it all back? That's a choice.

What can I do to help, love? This is unacceptable.

At this moment perhaps message through their site/s? PnkRve's the main one, other's likely a distributor.

I did so, but don't need another placating response that's walked back later. I just want them to have some decency & stop riding off my "brand" 🙄. They likely knew before & absolutely do now.

Situation calls for torches, pitchforks, and lawyers

I’m cynical, but if they knew it was from a dude, they wouldn’t have stolen it

That is horrible. WTF.
