Chinese manufacturers have declared War on two West Wales bespoke Shoemakers.

It is not just Kiwinic.com that is copying Ruth's and my photographs of our Shandals® and shoes.
No, this abuse is perpetrated by over 100 Chinese web sites and marketed all over the world on Facebook and all the social media and in many countries, in 108 languages for well over a year!!!

It is obvious they are spending many hundreds of thousands of pounds advertising our Shandals and using our photographs
Two of these - Newchic.com and Roselinlin.com are advertising my Shandals on the front page of my AOL email account
They use our copyrighted photographs of our Shandals and shoes made with integrity, love and honour to sell really bad, cheap counterfeit copies of our work.
These Chinese companies have declared war on two bespoke shoemakers living and working in West Wales.
They are stealing our business, undercutting us and I think it should be stopped.
Dead.
According to whoishosting many of these Chinese web sites are hosted by Cloudflare.com, but it is a cover security web site. After complaining to abuse.cloudflare.com they forward the name of the actual hosting web site. Then one has to fill in another form. They may then take the photographs down, but refuse to give the name, contact details of the Chinese Manufacturer without a valid court order or subpoena.
Some of these fraudulent Chinese web sites are with Amazon. I have reported this abuse to abuse@amazonaws This is their response to my email abuse reporter,

This response, in my opinion, makes Amazon an accessory to crimes

What with Corvid 19 devastating the worlds economies the Chinese have a head start and they will buy all the bankrupt companies in the West and Amazon and Cloudflare are helping them do it.

I think that these Chinese companies are not just stealing my photographs and designs, but thousands of others.
How can a consumer trust a web site that copies another's photographs and make cheap copies of them.
And it is not just our Shandals and shoes they are copying because they are selling many, many products - women's clothes, handbags, accessories - you name it.
Having done much research into these fraudulent Chinese web sites, I can spot one immediately. They give a heavy discount, up to 50% and there is no return address, but just an email contact.
Consumers beware!!!

It is time Amazon, facebook and other web site hosts made an example of these Chinese web sites and took their whole web site/s down, in my opinion.

The Lace-up Shandals were made for a client with odd size feet. The left Shandal is a size 8 and medium width, the right a size 9 and the original slimmer Shandals. They are made from Caribou brown Italian leather and fully lined in Cream Connolly leather, once used to cover Rolls Royce car seats.
