Jessica Simpson does Rafe’s ’06 Spring Rivington Handbag
Oh that Jessica Simpson. . . . Spring 2006 Rafe released the Rivington handbag collection that was designed with strong memorable features such as the double row of studded details, cute knotted sides, dangling tassel zip pull, double wrapped knotted handles, and accented with antique brass hardware on the soft boxy style bag. . . . one year later, Spring 2007 Jessica Simpson released a mirror image of Rafe’s bag. Way to go Jess.

Right now the Rafe Rivington handbags are on sale at Bagshop.com for up to 43% off. Available in the Julianne for $320 and Maggie for $395. Or you can save a hundred dollars and get Jessica Simpson’s (copy) version, the 'Stereo' Soft Studded Satchel available at Nordstrom.com for $228.

i read from rafe's blog that he isn't happy about his creations being copied... of course who would be happy bout that!?

Doesn't Rafe know that copying is the highest form of flattery?

Besides... Jessica probably isn't creative enough to come up with many of her own ideas anyway. Hehe...

he doesn't think it's flattering actually

that's what he also said there

I'm sure he's pretty pissed... I would be too.
Really, though, what else would we expect from Jessica?

oh my.. I just saw that on rafe.com! holy crap. I was flipping through one of my old mags when I saw the JS advertisement.. I was like no way...

looks like she wont be getting any free products from the designer

All of her items are just cheaper re-creations of actual designers. I really think "celebs" need to stop coming out with their "own labels" just to have their names on something else to make a buck. People may like their style, but it's only because they are wearing actual respected designer things and usually have a stylist putting the clothes on them. People need to just be "inspired" by a celebs style and not fall trap to giving them more money.

^ I 100% completely agree with you!
