Marc Wraps Up Swedish Scarf Settlement
Designer Marc Jacobs, who was recently accused of copying a Swedish scarf sold as a tourist souvenir in the 1950s, has settled the dispute for an undisclosed amount. Goran Olofsson, whose father created the original scarf, contacted the design house two weeks ago -- and notes that it "took quite a long time" to reach an agreement. Justice in Sweden must be speedy indeed.
