Coach Handbags and Louis Vuitton are having a turf war in upscale department stores in Japan!
The complaint was filed with the Japanese Fair Trade Commission (JFTC) and stated that Coach believes Louis Vuitton has put pressure on Japanese retailers by threatening to withdraw their profitable brand name Louis Vuitton handbags if the store allows Coach to expand their line. Coach views this as an all out anti-
competitive practice and has asked the JFTC to launch an official investigation.
Louis Vuitton has responded in a press release by stating that it questions the motives of a company (Coach)that manufactures most of it's products in regions with cheap labor.
It will be very interesting to follow this cat fight between these handbag icons!
