After discovering the bags on several designer websites - including Brunarosso.com and H-brands.com - Mansur Gavriel's legal team asserts that the company sent the defendants a number of cease and desist letters, but to no avail. The new federal lawsuit aims to compel the defendants to halt production of the bags and reimburse Mansur Gavriel undisclosed damages.
It's not the first time that the designers behind the label - Floriana Gavriel and Rachel Mansur - have found themselves at the centre of a copying drama, although the last time it was they who were being accused of plagiarism. Shoe designer Maryam Nassir Zadeh asserted that their newly launched shoe collection resembled her own, but no legal recourse was ever sought by either party.
