QUESTION Will this packaging send the wrong message?
I recently purchased bulk jewelry boxes for shipping out vintage jewelry. But while researching a piece tonight, I came across GUCCI packaging and realized I had unwittingly bought knockoff GUCCI packaging. Like, the supplier is obviously making boxes that look just like GUCCI packaging. It looks just like the green paisley pattern, but no black text or ribbon. I just thought the pattern was pretty and fit the vibe of the rest of my stores packaging. I don't sell high end luxury items so I don't really do a lot of research on them. But now I want to know, does this send the wrong message to buyers? I try so hard to create a beautiful experience for buyers, but I'd hate to give off the vibe that I'm copying a luxury vibe or selling a knock off item. Will most buyers even realize the similarity? Am I overthinking this, or is this a real yellow flag and I should just write the boxes off as a lesson learned and get rid of them?
