Michael Kors "copies" other designers?

Exactly, or why not put different tassels and hardware.

Am I the only one that finds the MK charm a bit flashy? It is quite big...and you can read MK from 100 feet away

Totally and the print logo he uses. When I used to see MK around town everywhere I thought Mary Kay had started to sell bags or it was a designer line of Mary Kate (the olsen twin)

I remember a few years ago when he was on Project Runway and called a designer "derivative." I nearly fell over. That's the pot calling the kettle black!

So I think his lastest victims are Missoni and Cartier. Missoni called him out on it via Twitter...

This bag copies the Chanel GST, from the leather interlaced chain handles to the quilting. Practically everything except the Chanel CC logo, which is replaced with an MK logo.

When I saw this new design today at Macy's Philadelphia, I automatically was like "I didn't think they sold LV here!" Then, I looked... and of course, it is Michael Kors. Big surprise. MK copies everyone to an extreme.

I was in Texas this weekend and Michael Kors bags were the only bags I saw!
Not only that, they are the #1 bag being stolen in New Mexico. What's up with that? I just don't get it.

Michael Kors also copied Chloe's Marcie bag. His only creative contribution is changing the name; he called it the Naomi bag.

(the bag below the Naomi is the Chloe Marcie)

^^ Eww. The MK one looks so cheap and ugly. Looks like a pleather bag from Ross. The Chloe bag is much prettier.

I agree. The Chloe is much nicer.

What bothers me is that he is profiting by copying other designers, and he's a lot richer than most of them.

Ha!! Great story. Of all the bags to steal....

For anyone who doesn't know the bags of premier designers, Michael Kors must seem like a genius. To be able to come up with SO many amazing handbag designs and styles? Lol

Omg. That MK Marcie copy is hideous! So, so tacky and cheap looking. How can he get away with it?!?!?!?!
