Adventures In Copyright: Clog Boot Edition

I can’t seem to remember a shoe that Jeffrey Campbell hasn’t copied from another designer. So, it should come as no surprise that Mr. Campbell is today’s culprit in our Adventures In Copyright series. The designer’s Lief Clog boot has a striking resemblance to Swedish Hasbeens’ High Heeled Jodhpur boot. Both boots are made of leather, both have a buckle, and both have their seams in exactly the same places. The only noticeable difference? Jeffrey Campbell’s is $178 and Swedish Hasbeens’ is about $400. Oh, and the fact that Swedish Hasbeens has been making clogs, and only clogs, since 2006. They may know just a little bit more about the Clog Boot than Jeffrey Campbell.
