^^^I hope someone contacted A. Wang about this.

[lucy92]

wow, a lot of these alexander wang bags are so functional. and i think its great that he's got a mid price point.

i want a brenda bag the most.

I'm surprised at the rise in fakes I've seen of his stuff. I know people will fake just about anything but I really didn't think he was THAT in demand to be being faked already. At the same time though, I'm now expecting to see a rush of fake Coco's since it's getting bigger and is easy to identify

[nat_attak]

^so sad, but i wouldn't be surprised

[mlg08]

so gross that the same factory copied.

[Gainsbourg]

^ Yeah that's the weirdest part of it! So much for being discreet!

[Jellylicious]

that makes me sick--these people have no morals!

[lmelanie]

how can that even be legal for the factory to do that? dont his designs have a copyright or a patent? especially if its the same factory? or at least a contract!

[juno]

just to clarify things, im not 100% sure if its the same factory. but i wouldn't be really surprised if it has the same quality wise, since the authentic one and the fake one were both made in china with a different factories. it's not like a balenciaga bag that was made in italy and fake one would be made in china. btw i emailed a wangs sales department about this issue but i don't think they can do anything about this since this whole thing has been going on quite a while when it comes to replica/knockoff/fake designer goods.

You cannot patent or copyright a design like this. It's how steve madden, aldo, etc can get away with blatantly copying designer shoes.

Yes,but they have his name on the bag. Surely that is an infringement...

[Red Sole]

^^^That's what really bothers me!!! They used his name!!!

[mlg08]

the whole thing just sucks because i only got to take her on a couple outings before she was replicated! i feel like it usually takes longer than this... i guess the fakers were anticipating a sell-out on this bag.

[octopi]

wow that sucks..makes me sick! what bothers me the most is that there will ALWAYS be people ignorant enough (IMO) to buy the counterfeit stuff.

i really love the look of the Coco but i hate the fact that it's really hard to get over the shoulder! to me it's definitely a "sling on your forearm" type of bag, which is too fussy for me but SO gorgeous! i hope he makes a version with longer straps.

what i REALLY love is the denim-leather brenda bag! the leather is amazing, looks like denim but is so squishy. i saw it at Barney's and fell in love! it's being faked ALREADY though--saw some on iOffer

for those of you who have the brenda, how do you like it? ie. quality, durability/practicality etc?

[Red Sole]

This girl wears the coco so well. It doesn't hurt that she's gorgeous too!
