Imitation = Flattery? ModCloth Out Owl Night Bag vs Kate Spade Night Owl Bag

I can't believe that I'm here again with ANOTHER product on ModCloth that is totally ripping off a Kate Spade design.

 Seriously, what the heck???

This time I felt a little sick to my stomach because I'm totally in love with the original design.

But let's get right to it. Here is the ModCloth Out Owl Night bag -

It is a shoddy replica of the Kate Spade Night Owl bag from last Fall/Winter -



Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!

I mean, there are some instances when the knock-off/inspiration is debatable such as with the Prada Flame wedges or with the Prada mary janes, but this is just as bad as Chloe boots or when the Kate Spade Enchantment Under The Sea coin purse was ripped off.

Kate Spade is a big fashion brand.  These are not hard to find or secret items.  Obviously the ModCloth supplier is aware of the designs and is totally stealing them (and making them worse in the process).

ModCloth, I really like a lot of your products, especially your dresses, but this is ridiculous!

Did they buy it from some factory in China that's turning these out in the zillions now? :-(
