The Playboy lifestyle is fun, sexy and exciting, which means that a lot of people want to be part of it. Playboy offers thousands of branded products all over the world, which are sold through major department stores as well as local independent retailers. There are also eight free-standing Playboy stores located in six countries. To locate the store nearest you, please go to: http://playboystyle.com/locations.cfm.
Playboy and its licensees work diligently to ensure that the product quality is what our customers would expect. Unfortunately, there are many substandard, unauthorized products sold all over the world that bear our famous trademarks. Playboy takes this issue very seriously and spends a great deal of time and money annually on its global anti-counterfeiting program.
As part of that program, we want to inform our fans that buying fakes is not a “victimless crime” and it is not cool. Reports indicate that profits from the sale of counterfeit goods are used by organized crime to fund drug cartels, child labor and even terrorist organizations.
To make sure you are purchasing authentic Playboy products, only buy from a Playboy store, playboystore.com, shopthebunny.com or an authorized retailer. To verify that products are authentic look for a hologram hang-tag featuring our famous Rabbit Head Design.
If you purchase a product which you cannot verify as authentic, please send us an email at trademark@playboy.com and include:
- details of the item purchased, including price and a photograph, if possible;
- address of location where item was purchased; and
- any additional details which will help us determine the authenticity of the product.
We take these matters very seriously and can assure you that each tip will be carefully reviewed.
Thank you for your help – you can make a big difference!
