I know people have mentioned it before but Linda’s towels are just a rip off of Tekla. Tekla towels are made in Portugal so it wouldn’t surprise me if they’ve tried to purposefully find Tekla’s manufacturer. Tekla towels are the same weight and have all the same attributes, Linda might as well have been reading straight from Tekla’s copy. The only real difference is Linda chose a wider hem.
No other brand selling sustainably made towels under £300? Linda conveniently forgot to mention Tekla - their most expensive towel is a bath sheet at £85.
Tekla who have previously worked with/gifted Linda towels in the not so distant past. She had the towels when she lived in Joanna Halpin’s house, where Linda was living when she got the idea to start The Longing. Considering Tekla were kind enough to work with our Linda blatantly ripping them off, whilst pretending they don’t exist is such an unsavoury thing to do.
Linda’s towels are just white label products where the factory will just add a logo of her choice, anyone could buy them if they met the minimum order quantities. Most influencer/Instagram brands are the same.
That Adanola brand Linda shills? There’s an Irish influencer called Louise Cooney who launched her own active wear brand and the gym sets are exactly the same as Adanola’s. The sports bra with the cross over back even has the logo in the same place. Both obviously sourced from the same factory and neither of them originally designed it.
I don’t think Lizzy’s ‘community’ full of fake followers is going to do much for Linda’s cause either. If they couldn’t sell something Lizzy was directly involved in, the book, then Linda won’t be able to use her followers by proxy to sell towels.
Is anyone else a bit surprised by just how badly influencer Lizzy seems to be doing at the moment? She went from 31st May to 23rd June without posting a single AD on insta - or anywhere else for that matter. In the whole of June she only posted two ADs, 23rd for Margiela Fragrances and 26th for Sezane. Both of them are long running partnerships where she will have agreed to post X amount of times over X months/weeks for a set fee, so no new money coming in.
As much as I dislike Elizabeth she is always one of those people who I want to see prove me wrong. I can’t say I feel sorry for her though, what did she expect when she abandoned her cat to pretend to live in a country that isn’t even on the same continent as most of her ‘clients’ demographic?
