My extremely astute college roommate tipped me off to a case of mistaken identity in the form of footwear. It seems that a company called Rosegold has uh, borrowed —almost stitch for stitch — the design of Chloe’s cork and leather wedge sandal.

This kind of feels like a movie based off of an old TV show. The idea is good in theory, I guess. But aren’t there enough unique ideas to go around? Isn’t that, after all, what designers are paid to sit around all day and do — you know, actually design?

In case you’re interested in either pair, Chloe’s originals are $595 while the knock offs are $168. But for nearly $200, something tells me you can probably find a pretty cool pair of wedges that have their own look.
