Has Hermès trademarked the design? I would love to get my wife an homage Birkin, but every time I google for such a thing I don’t really find anything. The only thing that makes sense is that they aggressively shut down every competing maker — or just that my google-fu is lacking.
There’s no way that she would be happy with tens of thousands for a purse, but if I could find one with the look and utility for a few hundred then I think she’d be delighted.
- melling 2y ago“homage Birkin” A knockoff? Is that what people are calling knockoffs these days?
- eadmund 2y agoA fake looks like an original, and is something which wrongfully and illegally misuses the original’s logo or other marks: it lies about what it is. A homage is something which looks like an original, but does not use the original’s logo or other marks. I have no problem with an homage. ‘Knockoff’ could refer to either of those. What I would like is a well-constructed reproduction of a Birkin bag, which does not misappropriate Hermès’s trademarks.
