Crafter’s Companion UK posted a video of Sara Davies revealing the content of the subscription box and asked if crafters have purchased it. However, Crafters replied to the comment stating why they will not buy the subscription box.
From the screenshot.
Crafter’s Companion: Have you purchased your monthly Craft Box yet?
Crafter 1: Nope, the way you have treated us your customers lately.
Crafter 2: Sorry No. I have no confidence that the stamps in the box are not copied from the internet somewhere.
Crafter 3: Nope, you have lost my trust and my custom.
Crafter 4: NO. I don’t buy from you as your company uses stolen artwork to make £££££ crafters Companion Sara Davies
Crafter 5: Never been a worse time you mean. I wouldn’t have confidence that I wasn’t going to get stamps that have been copied from talented photographers and artists, . I’m cant beleive anything that CC say at the moment. Please take note of Marcos comment that you have not contacted him, he states clearly the stamps must not be used.
Crafter 6: No way! Lost all confidence in your product and company!
Crafter 7: Sadly, I no longer feel confident ordering anything from Crafter’s Companion UK
Crafter 8: Nope
I bought the first 2 boxes and was going to buy more but that was before I found out that your designers infringe the copyright laws and use other peoples artwork whilst pretending it to be their own, they even insist that all their work is hand drawn by themselves when in fact it’s copied from other artists without their knowledge and permission, I have no confidence in buying anything else from Crafters Companion and I was a really good customer but not anymore!
Not at the cosy of the livelihood of TRUE artists while making millions yourself, no. From what I’ve seen you are by far not to only company/person/”personality” passing work off as your own either. The whole craft industry is a joke right now and I and many others are keeping our money in our pocket.
