Like many companies that have expended years and enormous resources in carefully developing brand recognition, Handmade Republic Company's brands & products are being unlawfully imitated and sold at inferior quality through unauthorised point of sales, and usually at drastically reduced prices. These inferior knockoffs, while not always easy to detect, are not produced by or for Handmade Republic Company or under its control. Also, these products do not meet Handmade Republic Company's quality standards and are not covered by Handmade Republic Company’s warranty. As owner of multiple copyrights and trademarks, Handmade Republic Company will vigorously investigate those who manufacture or sell counterfeit products and take legal action against them. If you have any questions concerning this issue, please contact us here. We appreciate your help in maintaining the integrity of the Handmade Republic Company's brands.
