Manufacture what sells, I don't care who you are. Squelching free enterprise is UNAMERICAN. Design and quality always sells. Be the best and let the others worry the rest. I HAVE A QUESTION....not a handbag afficianado my any stretch...WHAT WAS THE VERY FIRST 'DESIGNER' BAG EVER MADE? Should I assume it was a Chanel? What did it look like? HILARIOUS for sure!

I HAVE A QUESTION….not a handbag afficianado my any stretch…WHAT WAS THE VERY FIRST ‘DESIGNER’ BAG EVER MADE? Should I assume it was a Chanel? What did it look like?

Any way you say it, a copy is a copy. I recently went into the Chanel boutique on Rodeo Drive. The salesperson thrust a new style into by hands telling me it is this season's "must-have". I (admittedly stupidly) blurted out, it looks just like a Marc Jacobs bag I bought last summer." the salesperson literally SNATCHED the bag from my hands and said "maybe Marc Jacobs looks like Chanel bit I assure you, it's not Chanel." Iget it but bottom line, they look the same. Hilarious! it is said that amateurs imitate but professionals steal. Any way you say it, a copy is a copy.

Anyone notice the new coach bags? The coach Sabrina bags http://www.coach.com/content/product.aspx?product_no=11804&category_id=1797 looks like the balenciaga twiggy (shape, strap, handles) and the coach Sabrina Ombre http://www.coach.com/content/product.aspx?product_no=11811&category_id=1797 looks like the prada multicolor stripes Nappa bag http://www.thebagforum.com/prada-miu-miu-bags/5357-prada-nappa-stripes-multicolor-tote.html You can't say that the prada copy is not unavoidable. I mean come on, squiggly multicoloured thick vertical lines? Funny how this topic is being discussed. Anyone notice the new coach bags?

LV's inoic Speedy, Fendi Spy, Chanel Classic Flap & Hermes Birkin/Kelly are just some examples. There are only so many music notes, but look at just how many great songs we are listening to!

There are only so many basic shapes. What I don't like is when they take the details that make the bag special and copy them. For example the new Valentino petal dome tote at Neiman Marcus looks like a reissue of a Tom Ford for YSL Nadja bag. They also have a ruffly bag that looks like a YSL St. Tropez.
