Dunnes Stores have gotten into a little bit of legal trouble with one of their new products. Longchamp, the luxury French bagmaker, are alleging that Dunnes stole their idea for a bag, but Dunnes claim they’ve done nothing wrong. Are similar fashion products theft?

Joining guest host Anna Daly to discuss is Esther McCarthy, Life and Style Features Editor at the Irish Examiner and Jacinta Carraher, owner of Purple Peach.
