Using Givenchy on Etsy: Trademark Guide for Sellers

High Risk

Last updated: January 15, 2025

Givenchy enforces its brand name, 4G logo, and distinctive designs. As part of the LVMH group, the brand benefits from significant IP enforcement resources.

What You Can Do

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

What You Cannot Do

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

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 Givenchy
  • Focus on materials, techniques, and style descriptions rather than brand names
