I keep reading about F21 stealing designs. On the one hand, stealing is morally wrong, but on the other hand, how are they supposed to provide fashionable items at a low cost? And my question is, who are they hurting? Are they really stealing business from designers? (I'm pretty confident the answer to that question is no.) I'm going to make a generalization here, most of the people that shop at F21 cannot afford to buy new designer items.
What do you all think? Do F21's practices affect you, and whether or not you will shop there? Does it bother you when companies copy a design and sell it for much less than the designer item? On that note, what do you think about knock-offs?
