A woman has taken to Twitter to accuse PrettyLittleThing of selling a pair of joggers which she claims were originally made by Fruit of the Loom, but have had the label removed.
She tweeted a picture of the seam of the trousers, which showed the PrettyLittleThing label on one side and what looks like the remnants of a Fruit of the Loom label on the other.
The woman, @katiewaddielove, says that the Fruit of the Loom joggers retail from between £6 – £12, but says PLT are selling the same pair for £20.
She included a screenshot of what looks like the joggers she bought being sold on Amazon by Fruit of the Loom.
So @OfficialPLT are selling £6-£12 fruit of the loom joggers, cutting the labels out and charging £20 for products they havent even manufactured themselves???

Lots of people have jumped on to Katies comments, some saying they were disappointed with the brand, others testing out their own products by taking a closer look at their labels.

But some sprang to PLTs defense and told Katie that is just how the fashion industry works – but she had a response for them.
& to ppl replying saying “its business” or “most brands do this” YES but usually theyll 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!

One Twitter user seemed particularly disappointed in PLTs alleged actions: People throw their hard earned into something theyve admired and wanted all month and when they buy it its nothing better than a regular item with new tags sewn into it, they wrote.
