photo cred: Shop Intuition and ShopbopWhich is the LnA zipper leggings I featured a few months back and which is the Royal Bohemian brand? I honestly have to say I’m not really picking at this Royal Bohemian brand just for the simple fact that I’m still on the fence on the leggings trend. Truth be told, the Royal Bohemian Zipper Legging ( available at shopintuition.com) aren’t as pricey at but are still few bucks. I personally am going to keep waiting until the zipper leggings go on sale or someone else makes a more reasonably priced version hint hint American Apparel.
P.S. bottom = LnA and top = Royal Bohemian

sorry posted under the wrong blog, I have to say I own both pairs of leggings brands, yes I spent over 200 dollars, but Royal Bohemian leggings are the superior legging. Why? the fit, I love the cut and they don't cut your lower back off creating "muffin top."
Thanks Fashiongirl, now I know what direction to head in! And thanks for reading!
I just ordered a pair of royal bohemian from shop intuition. thanks for the help!
I am personally not one for buying knock-off items...but apparently the people reading this blog are cheap enough to buy a brand that CLEARLY was a ripe off of LNA. Waiting for American Apparel? Well, keep waiting.
its not about buying a knock off its about buying the better product. Do your homework CLEARLY suplex is a better fabric, more expensive than cheap nylon. By the way how cheap can I be if I purchased both pairs?
I agree. I bought LnA leggings last month and I love them. I would rather have the real original ones by LnA than someone who decided to copy them. And besides LnA is a BRAND not a knock off. And who knows, BH is cheaper, thus the quality must be terrible. And if someone asked you, who made your leggings, wouldnt you rather say LnA? duh.
ok...first of all, i know the LNA designers and this is NOT COOL. I am going to let them know that some NOBODY DESIGNER COPIED their signature item! NOT COOL AT ALL! and for those of you that buy these RIP OFFS, that is also NOT COOL. Who is this designer ROYAL BOHEMIAN...she must be proud of herself. I am telling the LNA designers right now!!!!! This makes me sick to my stomach.
I wasn't aware that LNA was the first company to EVER make pink leggings and use zippers. Knock off or not who cares? GROW UP. If you didn't copy another idea we would have no fashion, if one person makes a purple dress no one else can?? PLEASEEEEEE Royal Bohemian or LNA pick which product that fits you. AND MORE OVER LNA makes one style legging, I check out Royal Bohemian they make over 10 styles.

anonymous...just because its less expensive doesnt make the quality terrible. You should actually see the product before commenting. Maybe they are not trying to rip you off. and by the way are you label whore because LnA aint that great.
talking about knocking off.... last time i checked LNA ripped off hanes signature white v neck shirts. Maybe you should call them too!!!!
both leggings seem to be high priced. guess, i have to wait and check out my royal bohemians i just purchased.

I LOVE THE LEGGINGS, I LOOK SO SEXY, MY BUTT LOOKS VERY TIGHT.
I LOVE THE LEGGINGS....MY BUTT LOOKS SOOOOO TIGHT......WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE ME IN THEM. THEY FIT GREAT!
I would have to say RB is crap this is the exact same legging as LNA! Why go for the cheap leggings when you can get the real thing! I own 2 pairs of these leggings and I love them! I would rather wear lna vs RB any day...and so would paris hilton!
Ryan/Deb,
If your willing, can you send me a picture of you in the legging? I'm thinking of adding slideshows to the blog.
Thanks,

Ok this is crazy. You people need to get your facts straight. Yes, RB is a complete rip off of LNA. No, LNA does not only have one style of leggings. I have not even seen this RB line anywhere except Intuition. So where are these 8 other incredible styles?
That purple dress comment was pretty ignorant as well. We are not talking about a purple dress. This went WAY beyond copying just a color and a style. What RB did isn't shocking, people rip off other people all the time. What we should all be doing is feeling slightly bad that there is a designer out there who is now known as a rip off of LNA. That is not the way I would want to leave my mark on the fashion industry. Regardless, if you like RB then that's what you should buy and vise versa. If you don't have brand loyalty or care if something is a fake then you are probably the same person I laugh at when I see the Fake Gucci bag you bought in Santee alley. Oh, and LNA fits nothing like a Hanes tee shirt.

there you will find other styles
I guess you try to claim they ripped off the standard black legging too.
wow! So many comments over these leggings... Just to clear some things up:
I am one of the designers from LNA. Yes, we do feel Royal Bohemian did copy us. No, I was not the first person ever to design leggings. I was however the only line at the time to offer zipper leggings in 20 colors with a black zippers... My leggings have been out for 3 months and RB's just hit the web.. we are disappointed that this designer copied us so closely.... I understand that we designers always take inspirations from one another, but this was not inspiration it was a rip off.
We hope the people who love LNA will continue to support our brand and wish Royal Bohemian the best of Luck.
I LOVE BRANDS...LNA IS A HOT BRAND!!! AND YES I AM A COMPLETE LABEL WHORE. DIDNT YOU SEE SEX AND THE CITY. HAVE FUN IN YOUR CHEAP ASS RB...COMPLETE COPIES....I WILL NEVER SUPPORT KNOCK OFF DESIGNERS. RB WISHES SHE WAS LNA.
wow ladyjane....RB has some pretty creative leggings there..lol..NOT!!! they are stirrups and tights, lol. And then the LNA zipper legging. wow, i havent seen that before!! lol Man oh man, you are in trouble Royal Bohemian, because LNA has insane leggings coming out next season, all creative leggings no one has ever seen. and if you copy them ONE MORE TIME, i will have them contact RB!!!! and dont worry, i told them what you did with the zipper legging! RB is just like forever 21...forever21 made an EXACT copy of a diane von furstenberg dress and diane sued them and won!...hmmm, RB did the same thing to LNA!!! hmmmm....watch out RB....you do it again next season, then we know you arent an original designer. the LNA girls are talented designers, dont knock them off again. i love those girls.
You people arguing about something so trivial as a pair of leggings is part of what is wrong with this world. I know...why don't you donate the money you would have spent on these leggings to feed a child? Or even donate it to help fund cancer research. My husband died of cancer, so I think that is a great cause. But pick you own. There is much need in this world and I don't mean the need for the latest and greatest pants.
I will say that as a professional artist I think knockoffs are dirty and if you can not design something that is your own idea....then aren't designing...you are imitating.
That said...there really isn't anything novel about these pants. They aren't at all unique...I probably have something very similar in my closet from the early 90'.( I am pretty sure I made a pair when I was in college the first time around.)
There is very little new under the sun.

yes forever 21 did get sued by diane von frustenberg and win but thats is because they copied a orignal and distinct pattern that was designed by diane, LNA did not design pink colored leggings or a zipper. LEGALLY there are not grounds for sueing you can check it your self.
You can tell LNA until your blue in the face nothing can be done. this is old find something better to do with your time. DO SOME CHARITY WORK.
I AM THE DESIGNER FROM ROYAL BOHEMIAN. FIRST OF ALL JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS WE HAVE LAUREN CONRAD AND LINDSAY LOHAN WEARING ROYAL BOHEMIAN!! WE ARE A START UP COMPANY AND AS OF NOW WE HAVE NO PR COMPANY HELPING US GET INTO THE MAGAZINES LIKE LNA. SECONDLY, I CALL BUYING A MUCH BETTER PRODUCT AT A MUCH BETTER PRICE AN EDUCATED CONSUMER. THESE LNA GIRLS ARE RIPPING EVERYONE OFF. IF YOU WANT TO BE LOYAL TO A COMPANY SELLING YOU A 4 DOLLAR LEGGING F0R 99 DOLLARS GO AHEAD. WE JUST GOT PICKED UP BY ALL THE SAME STORES AS LNA IN BOTH NEW YORK AND LOS ANGELES. THE BEST PART IS THAT ALL THESE BUYERS HAD ALREADY PURCHASED THE LNA LEGGINGS THEN SAW OURS AND SAID "WOW THESE ARE SO MUCH NICER I WISH I HADNT PURCHASED THE LNA ONES" WE HEARD THIS FROM ALMOST EVERY STORE WE SOLD TO. AS OF TODAY WE ARE NO LONGER SELLING ON SHOP INTUITION.COM. STARTING MONDAY WE WILL BE SELLING FROM WWW.RB.NYC.COM
Lindsay Lohan and Lauren Conrad!! HAHAHAHA. Really? Are those your fashion icons?
Best part is you actually didn't deny that you ripped someone off...you just stated that you made them better.
How come when I google RB Zipper leggings nothing comes up???? Strange that you CAN'T find them anywhere and when you search LNA zipper leggings every major shopping site comes up!
I'm just sayin......
haha. Does Royal Bohemian even exist any more??? They don't even have a website. LNA rules all the way.
I think there items are still sold at certain stores ( Madison in L.A. and Diavolina too) but the Royal Bohemian website doesn't exisit anymore.
Wow, such a rivalry! The LNA leggings are definitely expensive, but hautelook.com is having a sale on this line tomorrow (both men and women's) and their sales are always at least half off and up to 75% off. It's great. Not to be missed.
