The pattern, materials, logo, and the entire design? The construction processes?
Pretending any of that is special is a fairly recent development in human history. It's also why such "IP theft" is so widespread in Asia: their culture has never been programmed to value such meaningless things. To them people want to buy this thing that looks a certain way so let's make that thing that looks a certain way and sell it to them.
 
What intellectual property is in a purse? The Gucci logo? Who gives a shit beyond Gucci shareholders?

It's a good thing trademark and patent attorneys didn't exist back when that first caveman discovered fire or the wheel. We'd all be fucked. Human advancement couldn't have happened without humans copying shit others humans did that worked better. Evolution.
A great deal of engineering goes into high-end bags. They're not just gunny sacks with a zipper and a logo. You can't make them with an awl and a piece of rawhide string. They're almost as complicated as handmade shoes, with the exception of the custom fit. It takes a lot of research and design work and specialty machinery to make the first designer bag come out right. Then you can copy the first one endlessly to make the rest (unlike custom shoes). But if they're copied endlessly, they're no longer exclusive, and idiots who will pay used-car prices for a single exclusive handbag won't buy them at all. The whole market is stupid, just like the collector shoe market, but it was lucrative, and the Chinese have stolen it.

The Chinese used to make pleather gunny sacks, and now they make highly structured and engineered bags that they sell for a couple hundred dollars instead of a couple of thousand--because Louis Vuitton and Coach taught the Chinese how to make them, and the Chinese ripped off the R & D, the leatherworking techniques, AND the specialty equipment along the way.
Profound.
 
From the millitary intelligence department that brought you "Why Arabs lose wars" comes growing evidence that Asians do not have souls, are not purestrain human, and have more in common with insects than monkey.

Chinese culture values replication as the same or higher level that original innovation. Like other doppelganger races they survive by mimicry and deception. To them being able to paint an exact copy of the Mona Lisa proves you have the same skill and ability as Leonardo da Vinci.

This has such widespread implications for their society that it indicates a deep flaw in their genetics and interpersonal relationships. The dumb chink that works at the Louis Vuitton or Rolex factory thinks they are equally as skilled as those creators. Thus they believe Americans are too stupid to replace them because only 1 of them managed to do what an entire room of "people" do every day right in front of them.

This also carries into and distorts their perceptions of value. A high quality product that looks the same as a cheap knock off is stupid to purchase even if it would last longer. This is responsible for the race to the bottom in quality that has infected every production line on earth.

It also taints their feelings on the environment and conservation. You can pour toxic chemicals and polloute the shit out of the environment as long as it looks clean afterwards. It doesn't matter to them if they extinct a species they can just paint another to look like it.

Combine the utter lack of humanity and morality with a country where each person looks largely the exact same as the other and you get a culture that places very low value on life. If their child becomes injured they will often opt to kill them and replace them with a healthy copy. When they run over and injure someone they will back over them to finish the job because a funeral is cheaper than ongoing medical care. Every aspect of life, culture, and liberty is replaceable with a cheap copy.

Japanese suffer from this same problem to a lesser extent. Through their embrace of American culture they have come to realize how truly broken and flawed their own is which is why they stopped breeding.
