Why is everyone assuming that these are copied or inspired by Patch? Are they the only company to ever use burlap or jute, or to do sea inspired motifs? I think people should not assume that because something looks similar that it was directly inspired by. If you look at the TP collection from last season, you will see that this is a natural progression and is where the line is going in terms of design.

These pillows are sooooo PATCH NYC! Even down to the black trim around the edges. I know they’ve been doing this style pillow for awhile. I’m surprised someone like Thomas Paul couldn’t come up with his own concept. Such a disappointment.

A departure that is way too PATCH NYC for my tastes. Patch does a great line of just bags with images from Don Carney’s paintings on them. This is the low rent clipart knock off version — seek the original.

Actually I’m a professor at W&M. I read your blog everyday–at least twice a day.
