Are my eyes deceiving me? When I first saw Mulberry's latest creation, the Carter, I had to do a double take. Is it or is it not a carbon copy of Chanel Reissue Camera bag minus the diamond quilting? The Carter has the same rectangular shape, chain strap and front pocket. Mulberry has had an exponential growth particularly after the launching of the Alexa bag (many thanks to Alexa Chung) which saw the craze sweeping amongst the fashion conscious crowd worldwide. The Bayswater is a staple amongst many ladies in the UK. So why oh why couldn't they come up with something more original? I won't be surprised if Chanel files a lawsuit for blatantly stealing their design. It looks like the Carter is a big hit with the celebrities already.

Hmmm, they are very close. But in my opinion, there is no question: Chanel's is much, much, much better. :)
ReplyDeleteDon't like the Mulberry version at all + can't believe that they would copy Chanel in such a distasteful way.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least it seems celebrities are liking it ..
Not a fan of that Mulberry either. I think that stamped croc print looks cheap!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that Mulberry resorted to copying. I have to agree about the faux croc. Why??!!
ReplyDeleteFaux croc - yuck! The Mulberry version looks cheap.
