Givenchy Files A Suit Aganist BCBG For Copying Their Nightingale Handbag

Givenchy filed a lawsuit against BCBG Max Azria, claiming that the BCBG Rembrandt handbag looks a little too much like Givenchy’s Nightingale purse to be a coincidence. The French house’s gripe is that BCBG has copied the “decorative double stitched horizontal and vertical stripes on the exterior that visually separate the bag into four distinct quadrants.”


In addition to money damages, Givenchy seeks an injunction preventing further sales of the Rembrandt and other bags that feature the same kind of stitching.
