Tahun 2010, divisi Mango Prancis dituntut oleh Anne-Cécile Couétil, pencipta merek ''[[Velvetine (merek)|Velvetine]]''. Ia menuduh bahwa ''Mango'' meniru dua model tas tangannya. Meski dilindungi oleh [[Institut national de la propriété industrielle|INPI]] dan kemiripan antara produknya dan produk Mango, Couetil kalah di pengadilan. Ia diharuskan membayar 6.000 euro<ref>6,000 € = about $ 8,500 USD ([http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert/?Amount=6,000&From=EUR&To=USD according to Xe.eu])</ref> kepada Mango atas prosedur yang berlebihan.<ref>''[http://uk.ykone.com/magazine/news/mango-accused-of-copying-velvetine Mango accused of copying Velvetine] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110623073616/http://uk.ykone.com/magazine/news/mango-accused-of-copying-velvetine |date=2011-06-23 }}'', Elise Hameau, 16 June 2011.</ref><ref>« ''[http://www.lexpress.fr/styles/minute-mode/mango-accuse-de-contrefacon-par-velvetine_1002694.html Mango accusé de contrefaçon]'' », Katrin Acou-Bouaziz, L'Express Styles, 15 June 2011. {{fr}}</ref><ref>« ''[http://fr.elle.be/Fil-info/L-affaire-Mango-vs-Velvetine L'affaire Mango vs Velvetine] {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.istoday/20120711023630/http://fr.elle.be/Fil-info/L-affaire-Mango-vs-Velvetine |date=2012-07-11 }}'' », CD, Elle Belgique, 17 June 2011. {{fr}}</ref><ref>« ''[http://leplus.nouvelobs.com/contribution/2458;mango-accuse-de-contrefacon-in-justice-et-mauvaise-foi.html Mango accusé de contrefaçon: (in)justice et mauvaise foi]'' », Hélène Decommer, Le Plus (Nouvel Observateur), 17 June 2011. {{fr}}</ref> Di blognya, Couetil mengklaim ia ingin mengajukan banding.<ref name="Le concept de Justice, VELVETINE vs MANGO">spontaneous message « ''[http://velvetineby.canalblog.com/archives/2011/06/09/21359767.html Le concept de Justice, VELVETINE vs MANGO]'' » 9 June 2011, on the weblog of the brand ''Velvetine'' {{fr}}.</ref> Sejumlah narablog terkejut oleh keputusan pengadilan yang menyebut hal ini tidak adil.<ref>[http://www.deedeeparis.com/blog/quand-les-grandes-marques-pillent-les-createurs http://www.deedeeparis.com/blog/quand-les-grandes-marques-pillent-les-createurs]. {{fr}}</ref><ref>[http://www.flanelleblog.com/?p=5437 http://www.flanelleblog.com/?p=5437] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325221939/http://www.flanelleblog.com/?p=5437 |date=2012-03-25 }}. {{fr}}</ref><ref>[http://www.madmoizelle.com/velvetine-mango-46664 http://www.madmoizelle.com/velvetine-mango-46664]. {{fr}}</ref><ref>[http://www.mademoisellequincampoix.com/2011/06/16/soutien-a-velvetine/ http://www.mademoisellequincampoix.com/2011/06/16/soutien-a-velvetine/] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325221939/http://www.mademoisellequincampoix.com/2011/06/16/soutien-a-velvetine/ |date=2012-03-25 }}. {{fr}}</ref><ref>[http://www.transeet.fr/2011/06/14/quand-mango-zara-plagient-blogueuses-creatrices-mode.html http://www.transeet.fr/2011/06/14/quand-mango-zara-plagient-blogueuses-creatrices-mode.html]. {{fr}}</ref><ref>[http://www.ykone.com/magazine/articles/mango-accuse-de-contrefacon-par-velvetine http://www.ykone.com/magazine/articles/mango-accuse-de-contrefacon-par-velvetine] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325221936/http://www.ykone.com/magazine/articles/mango-accuse-de-contrefacon-par-velvetine |date=2012-03-25 }}. {{fr}}</ref> Mango merespon di Facebook melalui halaman penggemar resminya dan di blog Couetil sendiri.<ref name="Le concept de Justice, VELVETINE vs MANGO"/>
