Adventures in Copyright: J.Crew Loves Flutter, Too Much
By Britt Aboutaleb
In the spring of 2009, Jill Golden wrapped crystals in mesh chains to make necklaces for her new line, Flutter.
She used clear stones in pink, purple, and turquoise, and chains in gunmetal, silver, rose gold and gold. They cost about $350.
Considering how far in advance J.Crew plans their collections, it was probably just a few months later that their jewelry team whipped up this identical piece, with its matching bracelet.
We know New York based indie-designers are on J.Crew’s radar. They’ve just collaborated with Fenton-Fallon and have other partnerships planned for the future–so if they’re fans of Golden’s work, the least they could’ve done is invite in her in for a chat.
Instead, they’ve just re-made her design for spring and charged about half the price.

I'm kind of loving this style of necklace. I think it would do wonders for a white V neck and faced jeans in the summer. itswhatshewants.wordpress.com
Actually, they are both inspired by Anthony Nak's line. The chain around stone bead technique started with them many years ago.
Wow, didn't I just read a super-kiss assy interview by this same author with Jenna Lyons?
I really like these necklaces.
I really like these necklaces.
And J. Crew is Net-a-Porter worthy…that really irks me.@Kayonyc Anthony Nak is having a final sale of their remaining inventory too…awesome pieces.
These necklaces are pretty. At least there not exactly the same, like Steve Madden did with the red suede Louboutin booties.
