Kingswood couple who openly traded in fake designer goods handed suspended jail terms

A cottage industry selling fake designer gear netted a Kingswood couple some £200,000 a court heard. Michael and Michelle Guy did not pretend the knock-off goods they sourced from a shop in Manchester were the genuine article.

Bristol Crown Court heard that, over four years, they sold goods from their Clothing For All Facebook group which had £5,700 members. Though they were earning thousands of pounds a month they have blown all the money, the court was told.

Michael Guy, 48, and cleaner Michelle Guy, 54, of Douglas Road, both pleaded guilty to 22 counts of unauthorised use of a trade mark between 2017 and 2021.
