Is this taking things too far?
Luxury brand Louis Vuitton sued a second-hand clothing shop operated by the German Red Cross because it was selling a counterfeit purse. A mystery shopper in Marburg saw the fake Louis Vuitton in a store window and bought it for €3. After informing Louis Vuitton parent company LVMH of the sale, a suit was filed against the thrift shop claiming €2,600 in damages. “This is just our standard procedure,” a LVMH spokeswoman said from Paris. “The issue has already been resolved in a quick and friendly manner.” – from Germany
