Alleghany Moon Variety Store
Previously a store selling replica Chanel handbags and replica Chanel totes.

What happened

After repeated requests that the operator of the site comply with Chanel’s requests in regard to their stopping the misuse of the Chanel marks by selling Chanel replica handbags and Chanel replica wallets were not met with an adequate response Chanel was forced to file a complaint in court in order to protect the good name of Chanel and to protect customers from mistakenly buying handbags and sunglasses which they thought were going to live up to the extremely high quality standards Chanel is known for but where in fact not.

The case was filed in the Southern District of New York on April 30, 2008 and the operator of the replica Chanel site was served with a copy of the complaint regarding the replica Chanel products sold on her websites. As the defendant had not answered the complaint on September 16, 2008 Chanel requested a default judgment be entered in their favor. The court issued a final default judgment and permanent injunction in the case on January 6, 2009 ordering the store permanently shut down and for its operators to pay over $145,000. To give the injunction some force behind it the judge granted ownership of the domains involved in the case over to Chanel.
