Designer to sue UPS for losing $170K worth of fashion items

Libertine designer Johnson Hartig is planning to sue UPS ­after the delivery company lost track of 30 key pieces from his spring New York Fashion Weekcollection.
“Yes, we absolutely intend to [sue]. The process began several days ago in New York when I met with two attorneys,” he said.
The items, which are worth approximately $170,000, were shipped from Los Angeles one week before he was to premiere the collection Tuesday.
The designer says UPS lost track of the shipment and one box wasn’t even scanned before it went out, making it impossible to trace.
“The fact that UPS has been totally ­unempathetic, without even holding themselves accountable to this situation, is particularly frustrating considering how much work has gone into producing these pieces,” he said.
The loss caused Hartig to produce a scaled-down collection for Fashion Week.
But even though Hartig didn’t have his full line to show, Vogue and WWD gave the Libertine show stellar reviews.
A rep for UPS didn’t get back to us.
