At what stage does inspiration and imitation tip over into plagiarisation?
Being in an Orla Kiely frame of mind recently, I was amused to note this at Land of Nod this weekend.

And these in the Pottery Barn Teens catalogue

And here’s a bit of original Orla Stem print, just to compare.
Yikes! Surely she’ll nail them for that. Those are blatant.
BTW, thank you so much for the fruit fly tips. They are horrible and I have made two of the traps today and they are working. I am squeamish about drowning them, but…I am still doing it. 🙁
Just wanted to say what a great blog and shop lots of beautiful things all of which i want to buy.
FRUIT FLY UPDATE: We’ve been having lots of success with a solution of red wine, a bit of sugar and some washing up liquid and then a cling-film trap.
Dee, THANKS!
Interesting. I love the colours in the original, and don’t like any of the imitations at all…
Dxx
YES! I so agree with you on this.
Deja vu, maybe?
BLATANT rip off.
pottery barn ripped of madeline weinrib and john robshaw with no shame, this past summer.
