As a dedicated, devoted, and obsessed Anthropologie shopper, I am sick and tired of seeing incorrect brands attributted to Anthropologie and sellers' attempts to pass off Urban Outifitter brands as Anthropologie's.

Yes, Urban and Anthro are owned by the same company, but so is Banana Republic and Old Navy. In both cases, they carry separate brands and differ GREATLY in their quality and prices. Aside from that, I see a lot of sellers trying to imply that some TJ Maxx knockoff is the real high-quality Anthropologie deal.

For the record, these brands are NOT sold at Anthropologie. Don't be fooled!:

Free People, Lux, Kimchi and Blue, Angie, Matty M, Truly Madly Deeply, ICE

Anthropologie brands include Deletta, RicRac, LuLu Lame, Field of Flowers, Velvet, Little Yellow Button, Language LA, Sleeping on Snow, Moth, HWR, Generra, Odille, Sitwell, Level 99, Sparrow, Lithe, Stitched Heart,  and others. BUT, another thing to watch out for is that while many of these labels are sold in high end stores, the item being auctioned might not have come from Anthropologie. Sweet Pea, for example, many have one or two designs sold at an Anthro but many of the dozens listed on Ebay were never sold in the Anthro store.

These brands have several items sold at Anthro, but be aware that not everything they make is sold an Anthro, and/or they may no longer be sold at Anthro. So, ask the seller:

Sweet Pea, Chaudry KC, Language LA, Joe's Jeans, Velvet, Vince, Weston Wear, Generra

In an unrelated hint: check the Anthropologie website sale section before you bid on anything. Lots of times, sellers on eBay list identical items for more than they're being sold for at the store. Better yet, if you live near an Anthro store (or have a friend that does) check out their sale FIRST.

Bottom line? Ask the seller if the item came from an Anthropologie store, and don't let them try to tell you that Free People is an "Anthropologie" brand.

I will update this list, so check back!
