Who opened it?

Quick tip:

How to handle the competition

"If you follow yourself you don't have any competition" – anonymous woman on the street.
This one sentence sparked a fabulous dinner conversation a couple weeks ago.  It is something I often used to fret about when I started my first handbag line, but in the end I really didn't see them as competition, just other designers doing different things.  It wasn't until a major designer copied my signature bag that I felt the wrath of competition swell – which was healthy – and a good reminder that I wasn't bullet …
