Which is why it's irritating to find out Australian chain store Diva has been outright stealing designs from her artists.
It speaks for itself.
Disgusting!
If you head over to shanalogic customer care you can read all about her policies and passion. But here's a little something I copied off the website...
What is "Indie Shopping" all about?
Indie Shopping means that you are buying from small independently owned businesses. By purchasing items at our store you're not only buying great stuff, but you're supporting my network of over 100 artists from around the world! They are paid fairly and treated with respect. They handcraft or personally design the products that we sell and run their small businesses independently of large chain stores. We work directly with them and avoid any distributors. We LOVE our artist and hope you do too!
Buying from Diva has always been the opposite of indie shopping but I never thought of it as stealing.
Read more about this from Shana here.
If you get cranky and want to tell someone you could always tell Diva via email contact@diva.net.au

Damn the Man! and let's keep buying our records at indie stores like kill the music and rocking horse while we're at it.
another reason why Diva is evil, that and their disorientation lighting system
And here I was thinking that it was just a female version of hustler! Of a of a hustler... of a of a hustler...
Hey I totally noticed Diva stole those designs off Shanalogic! They are crap and plasticy compared to amy secrest/etc's genius anyway, yuck.
I feel dirty because of this. Never again, I shall forward, forward, forward!
