Can you tell which bag is by Jalda?
Okay, there are times when designers are “inspired” by each other which is forgivable but when they blatantly knock off smaller designers without even trying to hide it– it’s just despicable. Look closely at the two bags above, they are from two very different companies. The original is Jalda, a bag designer we discovered a couple of years ago and featured on Bagsnob often (the designer even gave away bags on our site!) and the other is by Anne Klein. Can you tell which is the original? I certainly couldn’t! I mean they are EXACTLY alike! They could have changed up the handle or the shape of the foldover clutch, but no, that would actually be ‘work’. It’s much easier to knock off a small independent designer because they probably won’t do anything about it, right? Shame on Anne Klein!
