The popular designer Coach has accused Target of copying their handbags in a lawsuit filed Friday. Allegedly, the purse bears the signature "C" trademark in the design as well as other characteristics. Take a look at the picture in the above link and judge for yourself. It looks like the signature C to me! Coach is seeking one million dollars for trademark infringement! You can't mess with these big designers. That's why we sell products labeled only as "Designer Inspired" purses that do not claim to be a replica or fake handbag. It is a unique design that does not try to copy the designer, yet it can be said that is was inspired by popular handbags of the time.

This is not the first time Target has been accused of copying designs. Coach and Target have tangled over this issue before in 2006. Earlier this year, Wal-Mart was accused of copying a Fendi design. My personal opinion is that designer handbags are overpriced and discount retailers like Target and Walmart know they can get some business by selling look-alikes. They are a fraction of the price and people these days just can't afford designer prices.

Luxury can be affordable if you buy smart. Check out our collection of designer inspired handbags at www.handbagbug.com and you can get a great deal. Our handbags also don't claim to be something they aren't, so you can buy with confidence from a company with ethics.
