Just received beautiful gift from a friend with security tag attached (no panic she had receipt as proof of purchase). As there is no branch of this shop locallly can anybody suggest how I might remove it. I am reluctant to bring it to a local boutique to ask them to remove it in case they think it was stolen.
 
ask her to get it removed? chances are you'll damage the clothing removing it yourself.
 
Just bend one side enough for you to see the pin, then get a snips, and snip it!

I've done it a few times when items havent had them taken off..
 
Go to a local boutique and ask them to do it.....call them in advance. You don;t want to damage your nice gift !
 
If it's the black circular ones with the explosion warning on them, chances are the dyes will ruin the garment. Unless you have a really really strong magnet and know what you're doing, I suggest ringing ahead and explainging.
 
My wife arrived back from NYC, with a security tag attached to a pair of jeans.
Firstly I got a hacksaw and cut the tag in half and gradually with a pliars I removed the rest of the tag carefully. No dye, and garment was not damaged.

I googled the same thing recently when I found that a baby quilt thing I bought had tag still attached. After googling I discovered that the tag was attached to the washing instructions label so I snipped off the label and away I went.
 
"After googling I discovered that the tag was attached to the washing instructions label"

Not being smart, but how was this not obvious before googling? Is the tag not a bulky obvious thing?
 
if was my husband who told me the tag was attached so I googled without looking first
 
I have a Chino's bought in Dunne Stores and the security tag is still on it.
However the number on receipt does match the number on pants .
They forgot to take it off .
There was a 'beep' when leaving the store but did'nt take any notice ...........

Dunnes tags ARE the ones I mentioned, unless you bought it in a brand new Dunnes which put the strange looking white tags on everything. They won't even bother checking the number against the tag, I do this all the time.
 
One thing you need to bear in mind with security tags is that they can damage delicate material.

I bought a top a while ago and when I got it home it still had the security tag attached. When they removed it in the shop there was a hole in it so they had to issue a refund. Disappointing really as the top was in a sale and was very good value.
