Steve + Barry’s wants to assure you that no designers were harmed in the making of their Bitten collection -
In other words, they sent us a very firm email declaring the Anna Corinna ripoff bag that caused such a fuss was never, ever made.
We don’t shop at Steve + Barry’s (sorry!), so we can’t confirm seeing the bag or not seeing the bag (as you readers have). But we do think it’s awfully funny that even after insisting the bag never made it past production, it still appeared in not one, but two press previews of the line.
Still, we appreciate the S+B awareness of the issue, and we even made a special graphic (below) for Bitten’s second collection.
It admits that some of their new pieces are darling, and now the only issue is the tag line “Fashion Should Not Cost More Than Your Groceries.”
Well, our groceries definitely don’t cost as much as our clothes… maybe we’re just not eating enough?

I've totally seen a gajillion girls in new york toting this bag around. Not produced, my ass.
