Haremi claims its goods should not be available for sale at the stores and can only be purchased by the public via its website.
The action is against Safet Duran, the alleged operator of ‘Bella Moda’ in Gorey Shopping Centre, Co Wexford, and Mohsan Bari, the alleged operator of ‘Elle Boutique’, located in the Square Shopping Centre in Tallaght, Dublin. These two stores are where the trademarked items were allegedly discovered on sale last month.
They also want Independent Clothing Limited to disclose the names and addresses to every entity it has supplied items bearing Haremi’s trademark. In addition, he said, the item’s seams were puckered, drawstrings were frayed and unfinished, and threads were pulled at multiple seams. Independent Clothing insisted there were no major issues with the garments.
