Has anyone else been puzzled by the Marta line of costumes lately?
Seems to me they've got new designers on staff for this line?
Their work always looked a lot like Sim Moda Evi before (and I've seen some in person, they *really* looked like this)
But recently what I see on E-bay, listed by them as the Marta line, looks like the two they have up now:
Has anyone else noticed/wondered about this?

Ugh! All I have to say is there are some threads about this in the Vendor Concerns forums. It's best to shop from the "Shimi" website. Believe me on this one.

Re: Marta the Legend Luxuryline changed?
The Marta costumes were the ones I drooled over for years. It's like seeing Pharonics suddenly selling dinnerplate bras with nipple tassels.

It has to be an imposter. Marta wouldn't sell such low class looking stuff. It's their reputation at stake.

Re: Marta the Legend Luxuryline changed?
You should know that Marta has had some recent sad tragedy in her life. She was struggling with giving up the business entirely even. I believe she will be moving back to the US soon. So until she gets settled, we should probably just be a little patient with her.
