Van Cleef & Arpels is about to see if “take backs” are allowed in court … ’cause the luxury brand wants $150k back from a mystery person it accidentally blessed with that dough!
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ … the jewelry company — with a famous Rodeo Drive storefront — is suing unknown defendants for the money it says it mistakenly sent.
As one famous Rodeo Drive shopper once put it, “Big mistake! Big. Huge.”
In the docs, VC&A admits it accidentally transferred $150k to the account on May 2, 2023, but says since then — despite best efforts — the defendants won’t respond or send back the money.
Van Cleef & Arpels is suing for the full amount. Mind you, the lawyers don’t even know the name or names of who’s currently holding the bag — they’ve sued Jane and John Does, because they haven’t been able to get the real names.
Of course, the $150k isn’t a make-or-break — Van Cleef sells jewelry items that cost 5 or 6 times that amount — but they’re not willing to let this six-figure sum go.
