Michelle Mone - queen of copycats?

[alter ego]

How have the big brands not taken this obnoxious woman on yet?

QVC is on in the background and I'm catching snippets of her "inspiration" ideas - "Just like Victoria Beckham's" or "Exactly like my Rolex, same size, same amount of diamonds" etc.

Even her boxes are a Swarovski knockoff!

I reckon she'd earn more money overseeing the knockoff factories in China as she's definitely got the eye for copying detail.

Inspired, my arse!

Bad form, adding to my own thread but...

"My mum's the worst - she steals everything." Then Craig asks if she's like her :mysmilie_15:

I agree, obnoxious is most definitely only one of the words I'd use to describe her, also for the life of me, I will never understand why the die hard QVCers would want to copy any of the slebs (and believe me I use that term loosely) that appear on QVC when their bank balance drops a bit, and buy copies of their jewellery in cut glass, even A+ Hollywood actors I'd struggle to understand why they do it, but the likes of Lisa Snowden and Moaner I'll never ever get why, honestly I really won't.

Well I was watching QVC Style (????) this morning and nearly choked on my cornflakes. There was a Devore top on , it was quite pretty and Jackie Kabler came out with" it being like something you would find in a high end boutique which is what we are"!!!!!! Maybe that is what some people think they are buying into.

QVC are expensive not exclusive, there's a difference. You pay more for the same items sold elsewhere.

She's not the only one to take inspiration or knock off designs, Alison Keenans breast cancer earrings are an almost identical design to a pair of Tiffany earrings I have only difference is mine thread through the ear and AK's fasten with a butterfly.

Mone by name Moan by nature. Just cannot stand to woman..

Disgusting woman. Yet they fawn over her on QVC and their facebook page.

If you look at Lisa Snowden or Andrea McClean - their design were the same as normal Eek stock. The fact that there are loads of this type of thing in clearance says it all.

Once their contract is finished they usually disappear.

Alison Keenan's "Hope" range look uncannily like a necklace and earring set I have by the brand Hot Diamonds, in fact it's virtually identical. QVC get someone to make the stuff and the likes of Kelly Stroppen, the imaginary Young Dim and the other "designers" of choice have their name put to it, in fact, they have as much to do with the "designing" process as I do.

Shame Hot Diamonds never found out, they could've sued the arse off QVC.

I don't even believe they "design" them. I would love to see them being their drawings ,+ sketches in!! Lisa Snowdons stuff looks like stuff you could find on the market or in Claire's accessories. I can't believe folk buy it.

Beats me too! We have lovely jewellers on our High Street, good price too and far superior than the Celeb endorsed pieces! :mysmilie_59:

This is similar to Alison Keenan's rip off, I got mine about ten years ago but you can see where AK has took her, shall we say, "inspiration" https://www.hotdiamonds.co.uk/hot-diamonds/necklaces-and-pendants/long-drop-pendant

The woman acts as if she's been around in the business for years .If she's a designer -design something original. Nearly everyone makes things to look like someone else's. Her one redeeming feature in my opinion:You get some sterling silver with your glass in the pieces shown today.
