Over the past several months, we’ve discovered something deeply frustrating and disappointing: photography of Every Little Something’s original stationery work appearing across multiple Alibaba accounts.
These listings are not incidental. In many cases, the accounts explicitly represent that they created the designs shown, or they encourage couples to hire overseas vendors to recreate or supply “that design” or “that file.” To be clear, this work is ours. It was designed by our studio, photographed by professionals we hired, and published through our own channels.
This is theft.
It is also misleading, unfair, and unethical trade practice. Couples are being shown our work and led to believe it can be legitimately purchased or recreated by anonymous vendors who had no involvement in its creation and no authorization to use it.
We have reached out directly to numerous accounts requesting takedowns. The responses have been consistent: defensiveness, deflection, and scripted talking points designed to avoid accountability rather than address the issue. There has been no meaningful acknowledgment of wrongdoing.
So we are stating this clearly and publicly.
The only authorized places where Every Little Something’s work may be shown, shared, or represented are:
-
Our website: www.everylittlesomething.com
-
Our Instagram: @every.little.something
Any work appearing elsewhere without proper credit and explicit permission is not authorized by Every Little Something and has not been shared with our approval.
Intellectual property theft is a serious matter. Behind every design is a creative process, years of experience, and a real person doing real work. It is disheartening to see anonymous vendors, often operating far removed from the communities they are misleading, take that work and represent it as their own.
We will continue to fight this at every turn—through takedown requests, documentation, and public awareness. We owe that to our clients, to our creative community, and to the integrity of the work itself.
If you ever have a question about whether something you’ve seen is genuinely ours, we encourage you to reach out directly. We are always happy to clarify.
