WWD just announced that Temperley has designed a little apple purse made of napa leather and metallic python, of which only 25 were produced. They’re hoping it creates a bit of buzz for holiday.
But earlier this year, Hermes came out with their own apple purse, this time a candy apple green color on lambskin replete with a little knife, for kicks.
Coincidence? Or does Temperley think their customers don’t shop at Hermes, therefore will never know their $1,000 purse is actually somebody else’s cute idea?
You decide.
Editor’s Note: Brett just pointed out that Missoni also did an apple purse for Spring 05 as part of a fruit scheme.

there is a difference between inspiration and ripping off; you all seem to not know the difference.
