Thank you for making my point. That bag doesn’t compete with the Peak design bag in any way other than general shape. It’s poorer in design and quality at every step and the user reviews show this clearly when comparing both products. It’s safe to say that Peak is in no danger from poor quality knockoffs because they actually have a value proposition that customers recognize. Lastly, if you need non-public “analytics” to know that Peak bags are popular…

Now what happens when quality and design aren't a priority? Cleaning products, adapters, chargers, widgets like a cutlery tray or kitchen scrubber... not every product can't be knocked off.

Maybe you're going to tell me everything in your home is of the highest quality, but trust me that isn't how the vast majority do their purchasing.

This one was probably affected by the Peak marketing campaign, but when it happens hundreds of times,it's not Verge news any more, it's just life. See: how so many T shirt and hoodie designs in mass market stores are ripped off indie artists.
