Using Peaky Blinders on Etsy: Trademark Guide for Sellers

High Risk

Last updated: January 15, 2025

Peaky Blinders, produced by BBC Studios, enforces trademarks on the show name, logo, and character likenesses. The show's popularity on Etsy for vintage-style merchandise means enforcement is active.

What You Can Do

  • Sell authentic licensed or vintage Peaky Blinders merchandise you have purchased
  • Reference Peaky Blinders in tags for genuinely compatible or related accessories
  • Create original artwork that does not copy any protected imagery or logos
  • Describe handmade items with generic genre terms rather than the franchise name

What You Cannot Do

  • Use Peaky Blinders names, logos, or character imagery on unlicensed products
  • Sell fan art that reproduces specific Peaky Blinders characters, scenes, or logos
  • Include Peaky Blinders in listing titles or tags for items that are not officially licensed
  • Claim or imply affiliation with the Peaky Blinders franchise or its rights holders

Safe Alternatives

  • Create original fantasy, sci-fi, or genre artwork that does not reference the franchise
  • Use descriptive themes (e.g., "wizard school", "space opera") instead of franchise names
  • Design original characters or worlds inspired by the genre, not by Peaky Blinders specifically
