About the domain's old addresses

This domain used to host an online shop that traded in copies of other people's marks. Its pages have not survived: the catalogue, product pages and descriptions disappeared along with it.

We do not restore or retell that material. The magazine has no connection with the site's former owner, does not continue its business and does not support the trade in copies.

Links from other websites still lead to some of the old addresses. So that following them does not end in an error, four addresses have been turned into notes: on the history of fashion labels, on copies and the law, on the history of the bag, and on headbands and hats.

The addresses of former product pages redirect to the closest related note, while the old shop's service pages, such as the basket, no longer open. This way the links stay useful and do not give the impression that the shop is still trading.

If you arrived via an old link, start with the list of sections above or with the magazine's home page.
