CLOT Ripsoff Wintercheck Factory “WTF”

ORIGINAL: Wintercheck Factory William Wallet


RIPOFF: CLOT “C.R.E.A.M.” Wallet

You might know my friend Kristen who runs Wintercheck Factory cause I do post about her often. She designs out of a small studio in Brooklyn. She’s smart and has a knack for creating great products that are smart.

So it upsets me when someone like her gets completely ripped off.

Case in point, HK Based company CLOT ripped off her William Wallet, which is a completely original design by her. Two pieces of metal held together by bungie cord with a corner piece cut out to help you access your bills and cards. They didn’t even bother to change the placement of anything OR the font. You can see Kristen develop the prototypes on her website. 

So you can help and do a few things.

1. Reblog this to spread some non-love about CLOT ripping Kristen off.

2. Feel free to leave a disappointing comment on any site that mentions CLOT’s wallet. Like hypebeast’s post here: http://hypebeast.com/2011/09/clot-c-r-e-a-m-money-clip/ or their Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150452078950968.449077.11498620967&type=1

3. Buy stuff from Kristen.

4. Lastly, Kristen also happens to be in the running for DELL/Mastercard’s Small Business Competition. Where she can win $50,000 to help her business. This can help her keep creating great new stuff for other people to rip off.
PLEASE VOTE FOR HER HERE!
