Warehouse settled Jimmy Choo dispute over Marin clutch bag
.Warehouse. .....
.................................Jimmy Choo
Jimmy Choo took copyright action against the UK chain, Warehouse, over the similarity of a clutch bag that they were selling. The Jimmy Choo 'Marin' clutch retails at £650 (AU $1500 / US $1350) compared to the Warehouse version which retails at £20 (AU $45 / US $40). Warehouse were apparently embarrassed by the news and managed to reach an out-of-court settlement with Jimmy Choo. Additionally, they withdrew the bags from their stores and were forced to destroy them.
