yuppers.
They list their location as one place, but everything gets drop shipped from China. The designer in China answered my email -- she has no shop outside China. She just ships to around the world from there.

Yvonne - the REAL Yvonne -- writes in English -- you can write her, in China, yourself.
This skirt, for example, was sewn and photographed in China, not across the little pond, as claimed by the reseller.

and the doctored photos they reference -- look at the shadows - they are photoshopped. But a corner in one was missed, too. I kept the screenshots, so it doesn't matter if they fix them later.

Thanks, SafetyThird. I guess I ought not get my panties in a bunch over this, cause it's not going to change. I need to accept etsy the way that it is now. UGHGGCCKKK Though pill to swallow

And scroll down to where the "brand" is -- it's Yvonne's Xanadu. That's the brand, not the one claimed by the reseller.

Thing is, this is not even a "collective". They totally stole the designer's name, even. And add their own "label".
They claim to sew it all in the little studio there in...London. and take all the photographs with their little camera there. They even show themselves "sewing". But the thing they are "sewing" was already photographed after it was made in China! IN China. and all the photos are already taken there, not in their little flat in London, with the fake background they said they made.
Total mendacity.
