Vogue magazine has threatened to sue a pub with the same name in the small Cornish village of Vogue.

Lawyers for the fashion magazine reportedly wrote a cease and desist letter to The Star Inn at Vogue, based in a rural hamlet called Vogue near the town of Redruth in Cornwall.

They said they were "concerned that the name which you are using is going to cause problems because as far as the general public is concerned a connection between your business and ours is likely to be inferred".In response, the family-run pub wrote a letter of their own, which they later shared to Facebook.

The should counter it with 'no, you stop using OUR name' 🤣

The pub and, for that matter the village should tell Vogue to go F themselves. Vogue was a word long before the mag stole it.

They could try being cheeky and spell it backwards ... Eugov ;)

Already withdrawn request and wished them a lovely weekend.Apologised for not researching enough

Dreckly! Love it! Vogue are vague! Hmmm.

Why not sue the whole village?

Silly
