Off hand, nine west, charlotte russe, forever 21, steve madden...the list is endless.

All the girls in my highschool did.

I've seen a few cute Guess bags recently at Macys, and they didn't look like copies of any other brands I've seen. But I do agree about those pics Val posted, that is too similar.

I love guess watches and shoes, some of their bags are also cute,but their copying of gucci is very obvious, and needed to be taken care of.

after i joined tPF only then did I start noticing the similarities.... and thought "meh." The quality is not there & if you look twice you can tell it's guess & not a high end designer.

i'm not bothered.
Same here! It does not bother me at all. I like their shoes to be honest and I had once a guess bag, it was a little black patent little purse I got way before they started doing the bling, GG's and fabric purses.

I actually LOVE their shoes. Just not the signature ones. Their heels are super comfy and really great quality for the price. I have a few pairs of patent pumps from them, along with other types.

I do agree with the suit though, I think its justified.

Yup, their leather and patent shoes are very nice and the quality is pretty good IMO. About the suit, I Guess they had it coming

It's about time!

Guess massively produces a lot of things, so in a way to be fair, a lot of it's G-designs do not resemble Gucci's at all, but then again, the other half does... So ya, I would sue them too!

About time! I bought my bf gucci sunglasses with the G on the side. He asked me why did I buy him guess sunglasses and if he could have the reciept so he can return it.....
I think the real point is that Guess is cheapening Gucci's name with thier imitations and the same logo. A lot of plp dont know the difference, or cant tell anymore.
