Locals in the village of Vaideeni, at the foot of Romania's Carpathian mountains, are fuming at French luxury brand Louis Vuitton, who they say have "stolen" the design of their traditional blouse. "I don't agree with our costume being stolen," says Maria Gioanca, one of two dozen women who still hand sew the black and white garment in the village. "Let it stay here in our area," she adds. Louis Vuitton declined to comment when contacted by AFP, but confirmed media reports that it apologised to Romania and stopped selling the blouse. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
