STOLEN DESIGNS

 As we know that the Western countries are really dominating in our African countries and mostly that they are dominating I Fashion. But a lot of these biggest designs have been stolen from the African tribes, if I can list below those brands which are

The famous Versace Greco print was stolen from the Funbam tribes in Cameroon 


The Louis Vuitton LV Monogram with the famous sign inside was stolen from the Kwele tribe 


And in the Louis Vuitton men collection in 20212 you can find that the Massai Shuka which is a traditional African blanket made in colorful shades of red and blue this one Is often used in the Massai tribes of Kenya and Tanzania. 


Most of these designs got stolen and most importantly should these tribes be compensated with the profits that the brands are getting.... Let me know in the comments.
