Gucci Departs International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition Following Addition Of The Alibaba Group

The International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition now has one less influential brand in its nonprofit organization. Gucci has officially left the group — which works to halt the production of counterfeit copies in the fashion industry — following the announcement that the Alibaba Group has joined.

Last week, Michael Kors also pulled out its membership from the organization for the same reason. Brands including Chanel, Nike and Apple are still part of the coalition.
