Award: Hybrid hooded cardigan "e.s.motion ten"

Left Original:
Engelbert Strauss GmbH & Co KG, Biebergemünd, Germany
Right Plagiarism:

The design, concept and material mix of the functional jacket were adopted almost 1:1: An elastic melange knit on the sleeves and sides for mobility - padded, warming quilted zones on the hood and in the torso area - the striking left breast pocket made of knit with vertical zipper and much more. The original enjoys (unregistered) EU-wide design protection. Aldi Süd does not see any design infringement, but wanted to talk to Engelbert Strauss (so far this has not happened). The low price is reflected in the quality.
