If you try to pass off a bag as being a Gucci you'll get jumped on. If you sell
a bag in a similar style clearly marked Guppi you won't be bothered.
The parallel would be, passing an exact copy of a CD as opposed to selling a
cover of the same song. Unfortunately you're likely to get done for the cover.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.

I haven't paid any attention to copyright as it has been applied to
"fashions" or clothing, but a brief search gives thousands of hits of
"counterfeit" purses and shoes coming out of China, which are then
confiscated when they are found at various countries' port of entry. It
would seem that somehow those fashions are copyrighted by the designer.
