ASOS has been accused of copying another brand’s design

They do look fairly similar.

An independent clothing brand has accused ASOS of copying its designs. Laurie Lee Leather is a London-based company specialising in hand-painted leather jackets. Its designs are stocked at high-end department store Selfridges, where items sell for hundreds of pounds. It took to Instagram to highlight the fact that ASOS is selling a jacket that looks very like one of the brand's own designs.

IMA JUST GONNA LEAVE THIS HERE @asos and remind you that I remember you coming to London Fashion Week Designer Showrooms and photographing my stuff - including this very jacket that was on display.

"I remember you coming to London Fashion Week Designer Showrooms and photographing my stuff - including this very jacket that was on display," reads the caption. In response to the claims, ASOS told Her.ie: "We take IP concerns extremely seriously and immediately took the jacket off our site while we investigate further."
