Designer Jucca copies Foley + Corinna’s classic Jet Setter Purse
Oh yes I did.
While surfing around the pages of online department store YOOX I stumbled upon this bag, pictured to the right, which I originally mistaken for Foley + Corinna‘s classic Jet Setter, but upon clicking the image and further examination, it appears to not be what it seems. That’s always how it is when it comes to an amazing deal. I’ve never seen the Jet Setter on sale, reduced to up to 50% off. Unless it was at a sample sale or something.
There are a couple differences when comparing the two pieces side-by-side. But the main differences that caught my attention, well besides the obvious imprint “Jucca” stamp, is the hardware and also the cut of the bag is a little bit off - the Jucca seems to be more wider than Foley + Corinna’s Jet Setter.
I want to hear you guys though. Tell me what you think. Is the Jucca an obvious copy? Or would you consider it a look-for-less?
The Jucca handbag retails for $330 over at YOOX, while the real deal Foley + Corinna Jet Setter Jr retails for $528 over at shopbop.

I wonder why Yoox hasn’t pulled this bag from their shelves. I mean the similarities are impossible to ignore.
Wow, that is identical!!
That’s a total, complete, blatant rip! This is a lawsuit waiting to be filed. It’s even more audacious than Christian Audigier’s Ed Hardy Koi “Janna” tote.
Identical. These bags are so identical that I’m speechless. How can another designer get away with that?
I looked on the website and it appears that the designer only replicated 1 of their bags, this one after the Jet Setter.
Who is Jucca anyway? Are they a big label?
Team F+C!
Correct me if I’m wrong.. didn’t Foley + Corinna originally steal the design of their
infamous 2-in-1 City from another independent designer?
The oldest argument in the book. WHo came first?
No kidding. These bags are identical!
