Oh Forever 21, have you been slacking off?

We've come to expect fast fashion knock-offs - key word being fast. But it took you almost two years to rip-off Marc Jacob's Trish bag.

It debuted on his Fall 06 runway and now it's debuted on your Spring 08 website. While we actually like the grey and black color combination, the "leather" looks like plastic - even on the screen.

We don't understand knocking off handbags in the first place, but if you make a living doing so - do it faster.

I saw that bag on their website in the fall (I suppose it MAY have been in a different shape, like a tote or something... but that design).
Not that a few months really makes a difference when we're talking in years here.

I actually liked it when I spotted it (the colors ARE great) and I can't remember when I finally realized that it was a knockoff. But, yeah, it does look cheap.
