There is a lot of work, time, effort , energy, creativity, and genius that goes into producing a garment. Let alone a line of garments. If you had created an original piece of anything you deserve to have our name on it. And you'd be upset if someone else took it and put there name on it. Money and sales aside . . . it is easy to do what F21 is doing. They are stealing a look, a feel, a style, and hard work that is Trovata. I cannot really afford Trovata's gear either, but as an artist I fully understand the work that goes into creating something. And Furthermore F21 is not paying for all that hard work, so they replace materials and charge nothing for a copied piece of crap. I hate thieves with all my soul. Damn F21, that they wont admit to stealing. I have refused to shop there on account of this and I encourage others to follow suit. At the end of the day it is stealing.

A Southern District of New York Judge has proof that Jin Sook Chang is linked to the buying of at least 8 of these infringed items.
