The Kardashian sisters have always been known for their erratic family and keen fashion choices, so it's no surprise they would want to share their passion for fashion with their fans by coming out with an affordable, chic line of bags. After examining the bag line, some people have questioned whether or not the designs have been copied off big brand-name designers like Chloe and Balenciaga. There are around eleven bags that closely resemble big brand-name bags. Yet, Khloe and Kim Kardashian have claimed that they were "extensively involved in the whole process" and that they designed everything.
My View:
After examining the Kardashian bag line, it is safe to say that these bags do look a lot like those of Chanel, Balenciaga, and Yves Saint Laurent. This are highly respected designers who put years into coming up with these designs and to have some just copy their work is an infringement of their trademarks and brands. The line could be sued for creating knockoffs off of brands, which could potentially destroy its path to sucess. But the Kardashians may have made a smart business move considering how bad the economy is right now, people can't afford to spend thousands of dollars on a bag so this line can offer people more affordable options.
