A reader sent in this tip–a Forever 21 T-shirt that says a bunch of nonsense in the exact same font and design as this Marc by Marc tote. We thought this was such a strange thing to copy.

The tote bag is not even part of the main Marc by Marc collection, but a $28 “special item” available only at Marc by Marc stores alongside condoms and key chains. The tongue-in-cheek label hilariously reads “Jacobs by Marc Jacobs for Marc by Marc Jacobs in collaboration with Marc Jacobs for Marc by Marc Jacobs.” The Forever 21 Tee says something about “heritage” and “California” and blah blah blah.

Such an unnecessary rip-off, in our opinion. What’s your take?

both are tacky, but props to marc for being tacky first…

Don't understand why anyone would want to knock off the “look” of the MJ one–the reason it's attractive at all is its humor (which the F21 version is SORELY lacking). Totally unnecessary and unforgivable.theworkinggirlesq.blogspot.com

Forever 21 is just downright annoying sometimes.

Man, way to ruin a good joke!

Even as a Forever 21 employee, this obviously shows that they will do pretty much anything to get referenced next to a brand like Marc Jacobs. …hopefully this published comment doesn't jeopardize my job. Oh, who am I kidding? I'm fine.http://calvinshow.blogspot.com

That is a lame copy but here's a better version…http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz360/taytro...

forever 21 makes me sick they steal everyones designs if tacky shit

rashy i hope that marc jacobs sees this as i would imagine that it would make him chuckle

wait blowjobs is one word?

A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet.Same goes for handjobs…

He would chuckle, then have it mass-produced and sold in sex shops all around the world…

When people are creatively lacking they copy off each other. It is really terrible!

This makes me glad I don't shop at F21. I may be broke, but at least I have my dignity!

OMG I want that bag!!! And I don't even USE totes! Haha.

eeeew….f 21 is….kinda pathetic …come on..do you really have to copy…the …font?!visit http://iscariotteh.wordpress.com/

Just goes to show that even bad ideas get ripped off.

I like this tote, simple but chic!
