Amazon has issued a statement after removing fakes of Dame Deborah James' T-shirts. Deborah sadly passed away on Tuesday evening aged 40 after a five-year battle with bowel cancer. In the month before her death the blogger announced her partnership with In The Style with the retailer launching the £15 Rebellious Hope T-shirt which sends 100% of profits from the sales directly to The BowelBabe Fund.
One of her final post's on Instagram celebrated raising £1million through the T-shirt, saying the surge in the sales was what was "keeping me going". But just hours after Deborah's death, fake T-shirts were being sold online, with the Rebellious Hope design being ripped off.
The counterfeit T-shirts, which are being sold upwards of £16 are not raising money for charity, with the sellers instead taking home the profit. In The Style's founder Adam Frisby took to Instagram to raise awareness about the counterfeits.
