One Commenter wrote"It is such a blatent knockoff of such a cool bracelet. I own the real thing made of mammoth tusk NOT plastic. Girls, please don't wear these instead go to Barneys and get the real thing by Jessica Kagan Cushman!"
Another "sad- i've had my jessica bracelet for a long time and am so bothered by this "trend" of knocking them off! at least the jessica bracelets have a much cooler history (mammoth tusk and scrimshaw) and such unique/funny/creative quotes."
Now Jessica Kagan Cushman has responded to the controversy with a special bracelet that reads "Ripped off by Chanel"
