Louis Vuitton ripped off Felix the Cat


I was watching Felix the Cat the other day and I noticed that the bag he carries has a pattern reminiscent of the Louis Vuitton pattern.  Or, rather, Louis Vuitton has a pattern similar to Felix the Cat's bag.  I tried to find the actual pattern of the Bag of Tricks but they ones I found were pretty blocky whereas the one in the cartoon is more intricate.  I started playing around in Illustrator and made my own pattern more similar to the original than what is out there (even on official merchandise).  I took a few artistic liberties, however, to embellished it just a bit.
