I think this hasn't been posted here...it's a small article in the New York Times about how the Stam went from the runway to being ubiquitous on the street to fostering bags inspired by it:

I guess this is true with any great bag that has a true following. I just purchased a Bronze and in the same day, saw a pretty decent knock-off at Lord & Taylor in Black, Taupe, and Ivory, it was such a great knock-off in fact it had my contemplating letting the Bronze go...and I am still contemplating.
