I'm an attorney published in the field of antitrust. The major change in US antitrust that occurred in the 70 was because of courts, not enforcement. The 'consumer welfare' standard was applied beginning then. Before that, the concern was about harm to competitors, which really just resulted in 1) inefficient competitors constantly complaining of antitrust violations whenever they were outcompeted, and 2) the regular breakup of legitimately successful companies, especially in industries that tend toward oligopoly (like the auto industry).
The FTC can change their enforcement attempts all they want. That doesn't change the underlying law. Hence, the string of defeats.

As a guy I think the best comparison for handbags are watches. To some women or those not interested in the field, it might look the same for them as well. Same with handbags, some have better labor quality in it or something unique with it to differentiate it.
This FTC case is a head scratcher, the affordable handbag industry will just have consumers switch to something else rather than paying a higher price. Wouldnāt be surprised if it turns into another loss.
More focus needs to be put into consumer rights in the ever growing digital media space with music, video games, computer software, forced subscriptions to something like a printer, etc.
