A social media influencer, Georgia Aldridge, is ordered to pay £213,000 in damages over a secret side business linked to the sale of counterfeit luxury goods. Multiple reports say the case is heard at the High Court, where Aldridge faces allegations that, alongside her social media activity, she ran a “dropshipping” operation selling items presented as luxury designer products.
The outlets describe the side hustle as involving the marketing and distribution of counterfeit goods associated with major luxury brands. Reported brands include Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Fendi. The order is framed as a damages payment to the luxury brands connected to the claims.
While the reports emphasize that the business is described as dropshipping and that it was kept separate from Aldridge’s main social media presence, they agree on the core outcome and the broad nature of the alleged conduct: a High Court trial results in a £213,000 damages order tied to replica or fake designer merchandise.
