Uniqlo sues Shein for plagiarising its most viral handbag

From the moment it was launched, Uniqlo’s crescent-shaped bag, originally made of nylon, became a must-have, causing chaos on social networks to get hold of a copy. Its minimalist silhouette, variety of colours and modest price (it only cost €14.90) made the Japanese brand sell-out in a matter of hours.

As usual, Shein is aware of all the items that go viral and clones them at affordable prices. That’s what has just happened with this bag from the Japanese brand. Uniqlo has therefore decided to sue the company and demands the “immediate cessation of sales of the imitation products, and compensation for the damages suffered by the Company as a result of these sales”.
