A Tânia Bulhões brandwhich produces porcelain, perfumes and products for the skin, announced that it will discontinue four porcelain collections. The announcement was made on the brand’s official page on Friday (7).
According to the company, the discontinued collections are Marquise, Mediterranean, between rivers and lily. “We have made the decision to discontinue its manufacture until our own porcelain factory, currently under construction in Uberaba, MG, is able to produce them,” says the note.
The statement explained that the decision was made after viraling videos in which Consumers find items from the collections, sold as luxury, at lower prices.
“We apologize to our customers for all the insecurity generated and the absolutely legitimate questions that have arisen in recent days,” he said.
In another publication on the official page, the brand stated that the products are “frequently copied”. In the case of the Marquesa collection, the brand said it identified that a partner “failed to comply with contractual agreements” and marketed “production leftovers that did not go through our quality control”.
The company clarified that the creations are original, but until the purchase of the Royal Limoges factory in France in 2023, all Tânia Bulhões brand products were manufactured by external partners.
According to the brand’s explanations, appropriate legal measures have already been adopted against “those who are spreading false information.”
Understand the controversy
A video published on a social network by the Izadora Palmeira influencer in January showed that he found a cup identical to one of the Marquise collection, but without the written Tânia Bulhões, in a restaurant in Thailand.
While at the site the cups were used to serve cafes with an average price of R $ 5, in the catalog of the brand each cup costs R $ 210.
The influencer said that when he got home, he was checking out his cup at home and noted that it was identical to the restaurant, the difference was the signing of the Tânia Bulhões brand. “For those who pay a fortune, it’s there, oh,” says Izadora.
In another social network, content creator Isa Rangel, which has over 340,000 followers, published another video commenting on the story published by Izadora. In addition to talking about prices, Isa stated that if customers shaved the brand logo at the bottom of the pieces, they could see where they were manufactured.
In the video, the influencer also points to an alleged contradiction between the design exposed in the item and the justification placed in the description of the product on the company’s website.
Art in the play is a Sicilian lemon, fruit originating from southeastern Asia. However, on the site, the Tânia Bulhões brand states that the inspiration of the drawing would have come from landscapes of a farm in Minas Gerais, the businesswoman’s homeland.
This video made by Isa Rangel surpassed the 1 million view mark until the night of Monday (10).
