Famous Thai designer label Vatanika called out a woman for “bringing home the wrong dress,” which is a nice way of saying that she switched a counterfeit product for a real one at their shop in Emquartier.

The brand shared CCTV photos of a well-dressed woman, whom they claim took an expensive nude-colored dress into the fitting room on Tuesday but left behind a much cheaper one that looked similar.

“This is the face of the lady who left the dress that didn’t belong to Vatanika in the dressing room. We understood that she might have forgotten it. We tried to return the dress to her but she drove off first,” the brand wrote in the caption.

“Please contact us to retrieve your dress…the one that looks like ours but isn’t,” it said.

Yikes.

That’s not the end of the story. Vatanika Pattamasing Na Ayutthaya, the brand’s owner and designer, continued to sarcastically call out the woman after she found out the alleged thief tried to sell the stolen dress in her Instagram shop.

“If you brought home the wrong dress, bring it back to me,” Vatanika wrote, sharing a screenshot of the account called “Newnused_brand.”

This afternoon, the designer announced that the woman hired a moto-taxi driver to return the dress to their Emquartier shop.
