      That’s fraud. I wonder when did Quill’s start this stunt?

      Is this the same place an american fella was arrested for destruction of goods

      €500 fine & €1000 costs? About as costly as a new smartphone

      As if they aren’t making enough off tourists anyway 🤦

      Watch some videos about Made in Italy stuff for a designer handbags and how it’s easy to fool people. Hard to trust anyone these days.

      The should set the fine on the cost of goods sold.. €500 is pathetic, that’s like 10 shirts

      i mean the same is for most high end italian handbags and i dont see people complaining their mostly assembled in China, then completing the “last substantial transformation” in italy to get the ” made in italy”

      They’ll argue that the act of adding the label to the ‘unfinished item’ in Ireland makes describing the item as ‘Made in Ireland’ factually correct.

      ‘Made with Irish values in mind’ would have worked better.

      I knew before I clicked that link that it would be Quills.
      Given the amount of money they make, €500 is peanuts to them.

      And yeah, they are not the only ones doing this.

      Need to be smarter than that, import it 99% done, add buttons or something here in Ireland, then legally say made in Ireland.

      were the labels made in Ireland at least? pretty underhanded really.

      There hasn’t been a woolen sweater made in Ireland in yonks. There is only one wool mill in the UK now also, so, even if the wool was Irish (which it isnt), even it would have to be processed abroad for mass production. Very familiar with this shop (and others selling the same idea).

      I knew who the retailer was before even opening the article. Hilarious how you can say retailer and Kerry and it’s like ya, those fuckers!!

      The sad thing is they will do it again and con as many Americans as possible.

      That’s how a guy can cause €28,000 worth of damage to a few jumpers! 🤣🤣

      Quills has never had so much in the media about them this past fortnight 😂

      It’s been pretty much standard practice in the Irish giftware industry for the last 30 years, since almost all of the manufacturing was shifted out. Crystal, jumpers, china, trinkets. You name it, a made in Ireland sticker has been slapped on it. The authorities have ignored it, probably because there wouldn’t be “made in Ireland” shite for anyone to peddle without it.

      Every few years somebody gets exposed, fines get dished out, people get shocked and the same practice resumes.

      One tourist would spend that of a Tuesday morning.
