Fendi resolves dispute with Big M
17/04/2008
During the litigation, Fendi demonstrated the Fendi-branded handbags and other leather goods at issue in the case, purchased by Big M from former suppliers, were counterfeits. Big M has removed those products from the shelves of its stores.
Fendi has agreed to drop the case providing Big M has pays the company a confidential settlement amount. Big M has also agreed to the entry of a permanent injunction against its purchasing or selling any Fendi-branded products in its stores without Fendi's prior written permission.
Founded in Rome in 1925 by Edoardo and Adele Fendi as a leather bag and fur workshop, the company offers a range of collections ranging from high fashion furs, leather goods and ready-to-wear to home furnishings, with an international distribution network of 161 boutiques. It has been part of the LVMH Group since 2000.
