I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but it's still true. Buying Alvas supports this kind of unethical business practice. Buying Alvas cheaply through co-ops for the purpose of reselling for profit (this happens a lot) also supports this kind of unethical business practice. It's one thing that it might be cheap labor. Clothes and other things made and then sold in the US are made with cheap labor and it's hard to get away from or to know what to look for. Blatant rip off of copyrighted work and intellectual property is something else and it's a huge, huge problem for smaller, artisan-type communities. |

Re: Alva stealing prints?
Well I've bought and have several Alvas and I really like them. I could never have afforded diapers that cost $20 each or even $10 each used. I even bought one of their new prints, that I know now was a copy of someone's design. It's the owl one. But I've never bought or used, or even seen a grovia diaper so I had no way of knowing it was their print. I just thought it was cute so I bought it.
Some of the previous posters were right, ya'll are bashing people like me claiming that by buying Alva diapers we are ruining the cloth diaper industry and all these small businesses. Well I can promise that wasn't my intention. I just wanted to use cloth, but only had a small amount of money to do it with so I went with cheap, and so far, they've worked fine. I understand the ethical aspect of this, and I won't buy a stolen print again, but I will probably buy Alva diapers again, and I don't think you all should judge me because of that. I've enjoyed this website since I joined, and all the people I've met through it, but this post is very judgmental, and I know everyone has a right to their opinion and right to voice their opinion, but please don't talk badly about others, because people can get their feelings hurt.

I own an Alva Diaper. (It's a solid color Olive green one) I bought it on Ebay. I also bought many other "made in china" minky pocket diapers. No where did I read on ANY of those listings anything fishy. They were obviously selling to USA and the transaction was in US dollars. I don't feel I as a consumer should be liable for their fraud. I can't scour all the cloth diapers made by every company to make sure the print I buy is not a copyright infringement. KWIM? I do think that if they were confiscated by customs that the customer would get a refund as they were not delivered. (At least if the person used paypal/Ebay) I would not have had my feelings hurt in the least bit if that were to have happened. If something is illegal to import to the US... It should not be imported. If the item is Illegal... EBay needs to be made aware and pull those listings (black list the seller). And I think whoever moderates the co-ops need to be made aware of this thread and the issue. (I pm-ed them)
