Gucci knocking off Marc Jacobs?

[Foxie-Pooh]

What's this? Bamboo handled Venetia bag? Well Gucci...I see law suit in your future! First it was the Birken, now this?

[InStyleinNY]

aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

why, oh why are they doing this?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!! it is SOOOO Marc Jacobs Venetia it's not even funny

Now let's see if Tom ever replicated a bag to this point

I guess people are running out of original designs or the right people aren't getting hired.

Oh my god this is positively pathetic.....knock offs from Gucci is just surreal, I almost can't comprehend the idea of Gucci, one of the most saught after and revered accessories houses in the world knocking off two, not one but two, bags from other houses. I'd cry, but what's the use?

Gucci knocks off EVERYONE. Such a wonderful company, ruined.

I noticed that one when the resort bag pics first started circulating. It is really pathetic, I mean every last detail is the same, only the hardware has been replaced with bamboo. ick.

 

[Labeladdict2]

how desperate???

 

[cloud9]

what about this one..
marc jacobs knocking off tods? or is it the other way around?

 

[Foxie-Pooh]

Eww~

 

[leyla m.]

hmmmmm *thinking* i actually dont see anything wrong with the bags posted above.. .. designs come and go. its like a circle. people have always been inspired by previous things. it could be landscapes, books, artists or even designers... its all fine by me as long as i like the bag

 

[marc jacobs addict]

i just find it amusing...

 

[Dah-ling]

Yuck!

 

[Plumour]

and I hate the idea of bamboo handle on that kind of a bag...

 

[saturnine]

Is it really intentional?

Perhaps everything has been done before...?

It looks very un-Gucci to start with... this doesn't mix with their collection. It's very easy to say this, but Tom Ford was very important, first we get the horrible shoe line, then the floral cruise line ( the princess Grace pattern) and now these kinds of bags... I miss a certain theme/feel, it's very diverse

I find this one to be especially weird for Gucci:

That tote with horsebite reminded me of Dior with the huge D looking thing...
