The husband-wife team behind Hanna Bernhard jewelry took to their blog today to accuse Iris Apfel of copying their toucan pin for her HSN jewelry line. Hanna Bernard designer Natalie posted a photograph of Iris wearing the “original” pin some years ago, which looks almost identical to one Apfel recently created for HSN. She writes:

IRIS HAS COPIED ONE OF OUR PIECES! She has purchased a toucan head pin from one of our customers several years ago in Palm Beach FL.
