Louis Vuitton Bags Are Not Fabric. A Court Just Made One Company Pay €920,000 for Learning That.

The bags were real. That did not save the business. Kamad Reworked cut up authentic luxury goods and sold new clothes and accessories carrying their famous names and motifs. In a September 17 judgment, a Paris court ordered the company and its three directors to pay €920,000 in damages to Louis Vuitton. The expensive distinction was not real versus fake. It was an old product being resold versus a new product borrowing the old one's identity.
