Glorious Gun purse Loes Vrij for sale at Zara? European Designs

Glorious Gun purse Loes Vrij for sale at Zara? European Design infringement?

 

Loes Vrij is a new Dutch designed who became famous over night with her innovative designs for purses. Her style is best described as a mix of rich, chique and elegance. The purses are made of high quality materials. One of her designs, the Glorious Gun, is a rolled up purse with compartments for change, credit cards, lip stick and a mirror. A leather flap can be rolled around the purse to close it and a belt with bullets finishes the design. The exclusive purse is for sale at the more exclusive stores for € 798. A European design has been applied to protect the purse.

 

After the presentation of the purse at the fashion week in Paris events unfold rapidly. The purse is currently for sale in over 25 countries, from Japan to Canada. This success did not go unnoticed, as Zara introduced a cheap knock off version of the bag at the beginning of this year. It seems the distinctive elements of the Glorious Gun have all been copied, which means the general impression on the consumer will not be different. Loes Vrij notified Zara of this infringement of her design rights. Zara immediately responded by removing the fake purse from her website and from all stores.

About Abcor

Abcor specializes in applying for trademark and design rights. We do this worldwide for both SMEs and international companies, but often everything starts with an initial Benelux application. Our aim is to relieve the client of all the worries, which is why we take care of all the steps, from initial advice on what to apply for and how, right through to registration.

In addition to applying for trademarks, we also manage portfolios for our clients. We ensure that trademarks are renewed on time, that the right organizations are paid (given the many fraudulent companies), and we support our clients on issues.

In addition, we are sparring partners for our customers on new products and how to shape and claim new ideas.
