Kappa Acknowledges The Sale Of "Tibetan Independence" Lion Flag Hoodie
Netizens are in an uproar after Italy's famous brand kappa supports the image of Tibet independence. Hundreds of forums have launched a boycott of kappa.
Netizens say that the latest 08 KAPPA clothing is impossible to see in China. A Chinese in Italy took a picture of this dress with a cell phone while shopping in Milan.
From the photo we can see the obvious Tibet English sign TIBET and the so-called Tibetan independence snow mountain lion flag.
In the past, some netizens made some provocative acts of foreign enterprises by means of PS and other means. In order to verify the authenticity of the matter, the netizen also went to the website of KAPPA on the advice of the Italy Chinese, and searched the model advertisement of this dress.
The back of this dress is also printed by Buddha.
Kappa (China) statement
We have noticed that the Internet related Kappa products used in Italy have been used for posts related to Tibet elements. It is solemnly stated that this product is not designed, produced and sold by China trend (Group) Co., Ltd. It is understood that this product is designed by Italy BASICNET company (Kappa brand in Italy brand holder).
We have made timely communication and negotiation with the Italy BASICNET company on the adverse effects and consequences of this product design. We insist that Italy BASICNET immediately stop selling this product in the network and overseas stores. At present, Italy BASICNET company has deleted this product from its website.
Since May 2006, China trend (Group) Co., Ltd. has bought out all the rights and interests of its world-famous sports fashion brand Kappa in mainland China and Macao from the BASICNET company in Italy. Currently, all Kappa products sold in mainland China are produced and sold by China national trend (Group) Co., Ltd.
China trend (Group) Co., Ltd. has been committed to the development and progress of the motherland's sports industry since its inception, and has actively participated in the various public welfare undertakings of the motherland, fulfilling its responsibilities and obligations based on the local enterprises in China. We have always actively supported the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and carried out various forms of support for the Beijing Olympic Games. In mid May of this year, we launched the series of "I love China" series of clothing to be launched, to support Beijing Olympic Games with practical actions, and wish Beijing 2008 Olympic Games a complete success.
China trend (Group) Limited will never do anything harmful to the interests of the state and to the feelings of the people.
Kappa (China) latest response: the Italian side will reply soon.
Today (May 8th) re connects kappa's distribution company in China. The head of the company responsible for handling the matter said that they had been actively negotiating with Italy and will have the result in the next one or two days. The official said: they will timely publish the results of communication with Italy on the website of their company.
For the netizens' accusation, the person in charge said, "they understand very well, but they hope that the netizens will refrain from taking a rational view of the problem."
In addition, it was learned from the head of the company that China trend (Group) Limited stated in its statement that it had already bought out the right of kappa to operate in China, but they still had relations with Italian company. As for what kind of relationship it was, the responsible person would not like to say.
Beijing headquarters: no response
Kappa supports "Tibet independence", and kappa, China based in Beijing, has made no other response to this matter except for its statement on the official website.
The kappa distributor in China, China trend (Group) Co., Ltd., who answered the phone, said the person responsible for the matter had been meeting since yesterday (May 6th). Trying to get the person in charge, the phone was politely refused.
Guangzhou branch: not yet known
Kappa's branch in Guangzhou has so far not been aware of this. The Internet has been linked to the kappa Guangzhou branch. The company's online agent customer service supervisor Li Ping, who has seen the photos circulated on the Internet, said that they did not sell such clothes, and even if they did, they would never sell them. Li Ping said, "every employee here is very fond of his own country and will not support Tibetan independence."
Kappa's sales in Guangzhou haven't been abnormal yet, and Li Ping told the banner that their dealerships were flags and offered to give them photos. But as of press release, the company had no other response.
