TopShop wants the TopSpot?

I’m all for shopping on a budget as these times now are calling for us to be fiscally responsible. However I don’t know how I feel about blatant rip offs as they pertain to fashion. I remember a couple months ago when I like many other fashion enthusiast waited for the grand opening or what I like to now think of as the “Invasion” of Top Shop in Soho. What I ended up finding was a pretty high price point for replicas. It was nothing like I thought it would be, and became offended that they thought I was going to give them $495.00 for suede pants when I could just add another $100.00 to that and get a pair that fit better and were real suede, not that micro fiber non-sense that they have been passing off.  But then I got an email that only enraged my little fashion heart more, but then I felt guilty because I actually like the shoes.  The inspiration was clearly from Christian Louboutins collabo with Rodarte! But hell I’m a fan, what do you guys think?
