Local and regional brands put so much effort into their designs only to be ripped off by major brands

She posted a series of stories on the matter. She had heard time and time again that if her design is being copied, then she must be doing something right. However, these local brands are putting so much time, money, effort, and energy into designing their pieces, only for other brands to take credit and sell them for cheap.
