Target was just slapped with a new lawsuit by Coach Inc., accusing them of selling unauthorized reproductions of their handbags. This is the second time within three years that Coach has taken Target to court over the same intellectual property issue.
The bags mentioned in the lawsuit are Coach’s famous Ergo and Signature Patchwork purse collection.
I have a little secret that I most likely share with many of you… I am a reality TV lover. I don’t need the lectures because I agree. Many of the shows are scripted, watching the shows actually kill brain cells, the ‘drama’ is ridiculous, but I tune in every week to catch up. I speak about The Hills ’stars’ as if they are my friends. Like, they totally know me and I totally know them. And much to my drama loving dismay, I spotted something rotten in the state of LA and the hierarchy of dating. The lovely Amanda Bynes spent her night out on the town toting her Balenciaga City bag and a new fling.
That is right, DOUG! Doug Reinhardt. As in LC’s Doug. Then SPratt’s, “She can’t dictate all our lives”, Doug. Then friends with everyone else on The Hills Doug. And now Amanda Bynes’ Doug? I have to give myself a pat on the back, because when I first spotted this photo, it said with mystery man. My accomplishment of yesterday, that Vlad would not give me a pat on the back for, was letting the Photo Agency know that the mystery man was indeed DOUG! Rumor is flying around town that Doug’s facebook status currently reads: “Doug is in love.”
How many morning coffees have been thrown at the computer screen reading me write this? I apologize now. Back to the bags. Amanda Bynes sported her Balenciaga Giant City in black. This is a staple from Balenciaga, as the City is probably the favorite size and black is the ultimate classic color from Balenciaga. The Gold Giant Hardware spruces the bag up a bit. Buy this bag through Balenciaga for $1695.

America and Japan are the traditional markets of luxury goods, but emerging markets including China are more and more attractive.
According to Bain & Company’s report that the emerging markets of Brazil, Russia, India and China are experiencing continuous growth although the overall luxury-goods market in 2009 will face a decline for the first time in six years.
A report from World Luxury Association points out that China’s share in the global luxury goods consumption is growing year by year, accounting for 18%, has become the third largest luxury consumer after America and Japan.
“The markets except China have shrinked in the past three to six months,” Victor told the reporter that the markets of America and Japan have shinked last season, but that of China maintains a growth of two figures.
In view of this, with the global cost reducing, Coach has acquired its agent in China with a high pay, which signifies its transition of agent to direct stores.
On April 1, Coach announced that its second-stage repurchase of Hong Kong Imaginex Group’s retail business in mainland China, which includes 17 retail stores. Now with the retail business of Hong Kong and Macao repurchased in September 2008, Coach has finished its total repurchase.
This move shows that Coach is to compete in China. Frankfort also says that the global economic slowdown is bound to further improve China’s status in luxury-goods industry, not only as a manufacture center, but more importantly, as a growing market.
The Fendi Spring 2010 Handbags Collection is the very definition of a “mixed bag.” Har har, bag pun. I know, it was bad. I’ll stop.
Anyway, yes, the bags! Some were amazing – the new soft leather Peekaboos with wood or clear plastic handles were among my favorites, and the addition of exposed stitching, combined with the different handle textures, gives the shape a sense of style that it was missing in its more staid initial iterations. The bags look touchable and a bit vintage, just like the rest of Karl Lagerfeld’s breezy, Parisian collection for the brand.
Other standouts were the Perspex beveled clutches, some completely clear, others with slight tints or exterior studding. The bags were, of course, shown with nothing inside of them, and putting anything in them would be kind of a shame, but how else are you supposed to carry them? They were beautiful and a tad whimsical as art objects, and if the stuff you carry inside your clutches is very beautiful, they might be a workable choice.
And on the other hand, some things just didn’t work at all. We saw leather totes in a variety of colors with an odd, pansy-embroidered snap-on linen cover that was not only puzzling but also not particularly attractive, and Fendi would have done well to omit those completely and add more of the delicious Peekaboo styles, along with a few of the other wood-framed clutches and bags, to the collection instead. They were almost distractingly bad, but ultimately the preponderance of beautiful bags won out.

Fergie and the rest of the Black Eyed Peas made an appearance at the Paris Menswear Fashion Week’s Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2010 show at Le 104 on Thursday, June 25th. The only way to attend a designer show is decked out in their items from head to toe. Fergie had on the most amazing outfit from the Fall 2009 Louis Vuitton collection. Her dress was amazing, but her accessories topped the outfit off so perfectly that I cannot stop staring. This is why Fergie makes our weekend obsession list, as our love of the Louis Vuitton Satin Plisse Matelasse and the Louis Vuitton Cancan Shoes is taken to a new level.
After Vlad and Shannon gave us a preview of the LV Fall 2009 line, I have been having a LV itch for the Louis Vuitton Satin Plisse Matelasse. Now I am obsessed. This clutch is similar to the Limelight that everyone went nuts over, but it takes it to a new level, adding studs, a color combo, and satin and leather combo as well. The extraordinary Louis Vuitton Cancan Shoes will cost around $1350 while the Louis Vuitton Satin Plisse Matelasse will cost $2,575.
