Using Armani on Etsy: Trademark Guide for Sellers

High Risk

Last updated: January 15, 2025

Armani protects its brand name, eagle logo, and sub-brand marks including Emporio Armani and Giorgio Armani. The brand has an active IP enforcement program across online marketplaces.

What You Can Do

  • Sell authentic pre-owned Armani items with proof of authenticity
  • Use "Armani" in tags when selling genuine or compatible products
  • Describe items as "compatible with" or "fits" Armani products
  • Provide repair, alteration, or cleaning services for authentic items

What You Cannot Do

  • Use the Armani name or logo on handmade or custom products without a license
  • Create "inspired by" or "dupe" items that reference Armani in titles or tags
  • Use Armani imagery, patterns, or trade dress in product photos or designs
  • Claim or imply any affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement by Armani

Safe Alternatives

  • Use generic descriptive terms (e.g., "luxury-style", "designer-inspired look") without naming the brand
  • Create original designs in a similar aesthetic without referencing Armani
  • Focus on materials, techniques, and style descriptions rather than brand names
