Gudrun Sjoden or Oleana?

While Mr. C was at Blue in Green looking for his favourite selvedge jeans, I popped into Gudrun Sjoden, the very colourful Swedish mix/match boutique.

If truth be told, I think that Gudrun's magazine ads look very tempting, with their layers and layers of printed textiles, but IRL the shapeless silhouettes cannot entice me to make a purchase.

I was struck, though, but how much a pair of pink-and-red Gudrun mittens reminded me of the exquisite Norwegian designs of Oleana. Homage or too close for comfort?
