Kardashian Sisters Accused of Handbag Design Theft by Monica Botkier

We fully realize that by talking about the Kardashian family we’re only continuing to give them the power they require to keep existing, and for that we apologize. However, we promise in this post to discuss something that only paint them in a potentially negative light, namely allegations of design theft. Late last week, designer Monica Botkier filed a post on her eponymous company’s blog entitled “K is for Knock-Off.” Botkier alleges that the new Kardashian Kollection, which features pieces designed by three of the family’s sisters and was recently launched at Sears, includes a handbag that looks remarkably similar to one of their own, the “Botkier Clyde.”
