We knew it was coming. We’ve seen it happen to other indie brands. But now it’s hitting KLF — and it’s hitting hard.
We’ve built this brand from the grit up: raw, neon-drenched, anti-fake, and 100% DIY in spirit. Every design we drop, every collection we release, is punk with a purpose.
But lately, we’ve seen our ideas showing up in places they shouldn’t.
Our site analytics told the story: visits from China, spiking every time we drop a new shirt, post a new ad, or publish a blog. No purchases. No comments. Just eyes.
Then, within days, we started spotting clones — half-baked versions of our shirts appearing on overseas factory marketplaces, TikTok storefronts, and shady third-party resellers.
Same layouts. Same slogans. Dumbed down art. Dirt-cheap prices.
They weren’t just inspired by our style — they were replicating it, piece by piece.
Our article on Medium breaks it all down: how TikTok has become a blueprint for Chinese manufacturers to see what’s hot in the U.S., clone it in bulk, and sell it straight back to American consumers.
We’re not the only ones being hit — but we’re calling it out.
Because KLF doesn’t play passive.
KLF Brand gear is built for people who do the work. For punks who wear steel toes and sling ink. For builders, burners, and rebellion-makers. Not for soft clones and stolen drops.
What these copycats sell might look similar at a glance, but:
It doesn’t glow the same.
It doesn’t last the same.
It doesn’t mean the same.
If you're seeing "too good to be true" deals on KLF-style shirts that didn’t come from us — they’re fake. And every dollar spent on a knockoff helps kill the scene we’re trying to build.

KLF exists to push back. On trends. On factories. On corporate fashion fakes.
And if that means going loud about the theft, the clones, and the TikTok trap — then crank the volume. We’re not letting it slide.
