Last week we told you about claims that PrettyLittleThing were selling Fruit of the Loom joggers after removing the label and stitching in a new one.

Now Topman have been accused of the same thing.

A woman tweeted her complaint to Pretty Little Thing including a picture of the seam of the trousers, which showed the PLT label on one side and what looks like the remnants of a Fruit of the Loom label on the other.

@katiewaddielove said that the Fruit of the Loom joggers retail from between £6 – £12, but says PLT were selling the same pair for £20.

In the replies to this original tweet, another man has now accused Topman of replacing the labels in the same way.

Alex Hughes unpicked the label of his Topman joggers and noticed some suspicious stitching underneath. He wrote: ‘@Topman do it too!’

However the original details on the label cannot be seen.

Other people jumped in to say they had seen similar things on their own items of clothing.

Byrony Flaherty added: ‘Same on my joggers, you can see where the old label is cut off and where they’ve stitched their label over the top *how bad, not gonna be shopping on pretty little thing anymore!’

The original complainant later added to her comment on Twitter: ‘And to people replying saying “it’s business” or “most brands do this,” YES but usually they’ll add their own logos or designs.

‘Whereas PLT here have not only done a sloppy job removing the original labels but also not altered the product in any way to justify the > 100% profits made!’

Both PrettyLittleThing and Topman have been approached for comment but are yet to respond.
