      NO it isn’t we stopped using their inferior product that falls off

  • Chris Bee

    Hey Bobbie,
    Since Archtags.com is the real company and Bling is the New Black is stealing Alex Pappas’s Product and selling it as their own, is their anyway to correction can be live on air?  I know Alex has put her Heart and Sole into this company and I’m not a fan of someone profiting from stealing. Especially when she is trying to re-sell Alex’s product for almost $20 more.  I know the correction is on the web, but not everyone is on the web to see who the real company owner and founder are.  Thank you

    Sincerely,

    Christine Bee

      try their product and try ours, you will see the unbelievable difference we have A-List Celebs as clients that love and re-order regularly

      • Brian

        i find your use of words to be quite amusing…i think it shows that you are in fact lying. this sounds like a blatant advertisement – “try their product and try ours, you will see the UNBELIEVABLE difference we…” blah blah blah. If it truly is your idea/product, you shouldn’t have to defend it like you are. The fact you’re getting so defensive is a clear-cut sign that you’re not being honest. 

  • compulsiveshopper

    Hi Bobbie! Love your segments, however the recent Bling Tags promotion is a concept stolen from Alexandra Pappas and her Arch Tags brand. Christine’s comment below is correct – they are marketing and selling her concept with less creativity and for double the price! Ms. Pappas is one of the most honest, hard-working people I know, and it pains all of us to see this. The company who did steal this idea was extremely rude when we inquired about this as well.

    Ms. Pappas has an Arch Tags page on facebook and deserves twice the publicity as this unoriginal thinker!

     

    • tanya

      NO it is not, we were going to private label and sell her product, but once we got them in our hands and saw how poorly they were made and how they would not stick and stay on the shoes we avoided that company completely go ahead and try them, they are cheaply made and have very poor adhesive

  • tanya

    that is totally false information, i have weeks of emails between alex and i, we were selling these as a private label item, which happens in EVERY industry we make bling for many celebrities that they in turn private label and sell as their own, the only dishonest company here is the one claiming that this idea was stolen from her, when in fact, we were selling FOR her and brought national attention to her product, her loss i suppose

    • The Real Deal

      Sorry Tanya, you’re quite wrong. You did in fact steal from Arch Tags and our concept as a brand. In the email thread between you and Arch Tags, it was plainly written that we would ONLY agree to sell to you private label if you met our minimum wholesale order- NOT otherwise! You thought you’d be slick and try to pull the wool over my eyes by placing an order for LESS than we agreed upon. YOU Tanya Griffin, are the dishonest business. You did not meet my requirements nor give my company credit in the TODAY feature! You have done NOTHING to promote Arch Tags Brand so you did nothing positive for us. You successfully marketed us? You marketed YOURSELF, Tanya. 
      You continued to order my product and repackage it even though I said you were not allowed to do so.  I explained to you in one email after the next how our BRAND was important and the only way we would even remotely consider private label was if you met our minimum. Instead of being the honest company and moving forward with our agreement, you wrote me an email stating, ” well if you don’t want to sell them to me the way I want, I’ll just make them myself” and in fact you did! I don’t know what they call it down in Texas but the rest of the world recognizes that as stealing. You stole, you continue to steal and you look like someone who runs a dishonest business and who doesn’t place value in someone else’s hard work. Every single person I sell my product to WORLDWIDE, Tanya, will understand that I am the original brand, not to be confused with a copycat thief. I have such amazing relationships with my customers and worldwide retailers as you have seen and everyone knows that you are just a rip off. An un-original liar and thief. Your pathetic business ethics and karma will be your downfall. I don’t like to be someone who is involved with this immature behavior with those who claim to be adults. You have set a poor example of business for your daughter and will probably run her cute business to the ground. Sorry to say, I am looking forward to it. By the way- you should know better than to use material directly from my site that is under copyright protection, you’re going to understand that very soon. Good luck Tanya, you will need it. 

      • tanya

        your product is crap and does not even stick, NONE of your photos are anywhere on our media

  • tanya

    i have all the facts and documentation, the bottom line is we operated in a completely honest manner and had orders in place, the truth is, no one buys your product and you couldn’t fill our initial orders, once you started posting your lies all over the internet and changing what you had agreed upon, we requested a refund on our order, ANYONE can  buy this material, it is even sold by david tutera bridal for half the price arch sells it for, so alexandra and her 389 followers can go on enjoying each other while we take care of our over 5600 on facebook and 2200 on twitter go forward with our superior product and customer service AND honest business dealings
