Arnault Castel, the owner of lifestyle store Kapok, has accused clothing retailer Bauhaus Hong Kong of copying the interior design of his Wan Chai store and incorporating it in its new Causeway Bay outlet.
“The amount of what was copied is quite mind-blowing,” Castel says on his Facebook page after one of his staff members showed him a posting by the Hysan Place shopping mall at Lee Gardens promoting the new Bauhaus shop.
He highlighted the shelves, island, sunglasses display and product description plates as examples of items the major clothing retailer apparently copied, reports the South China Morning Post.
