Kinds of name
One discount sticker can sit on very different things. Every brand in the register is filed as one of these.
- Mainline brand
- This is the brand’s own full-price collection.
- Sold through the brand’s own stores and wholesale. Off-price stock is usually genuine surplus or end-of-line.
- Diffusion line
- A cheaper sub-brand sold at full price in its own right.
- Shares a parent with a pricier name but is made to a lower spec and price from the start.
- Runs an outlet line
- This brand makes a separate, cheaper line for outlets and off-price.
- Product under this name may be mainline surplus or made-for-outlet. The label tells say how to spot which.
- Licensed name
- The name is licensed to other makers for some or all of what carries it.
- The company that owns the trademark doesn’t necessarily make the product. Quality follows the licensee, not the name.
- Revived name
- A brand that closed or was sold, now owned by a brand-management company.
- The name is applied to product sourced by licensees. Its history says little about what’s on the rail today.
- Trade brand
- A real company with no consumer marketing in the UK.
- Sells through independents and off-price retailers. Unknown doesn’t mean bad; judge the garment.
- Registered to the retailer
- This trademark is registered to the retailer.
- The retailer controls the name and sources the product. Any RRP shown with it has no outside reference point.
- Name collision
- More than one company trades under this name.
- Check which one you’re holding before you lean on the reputation.
- Not established
- We could not establish what kind of brand this is.
- Nothing in public registers or press. Treat the name as carrying no information.
What we don’t do
Labelcase doesn’t rate quality, ethics or authenticity, and it doesn’t check prices. It records who owns a name and what kind of name it is, how sure we are, when we last checked and where the facts come from, so you can judge the garment yourself.
Labelcase is independent. It isn’t run by, paid by or affiliated with any retailer or brand it lists. How the register works
