When there is a Trademark/patent on the item, then yes, the designer can tell you that making replica's for sale is illegal!
take the famous "bow tuck" purse...should that designer suddenly decide to change her course of action and get a Trademark on that name, you could no longer make any purses using that name!
Just ask anyone who tries to sell a Jane Stickle replica quilt by the name Dear Jane!
