WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- Luxury goods manufacturer Coach has sued a Wichita store, its owner and an employee for allegedly selling phony items bearing its brand name.

The civil lawsuit filed Friday in U.S.Michael Kors Outlet Store provides you 64% OFF Wholesale Michael Kors Satchel. District Court is the latest legal action taken against The Fabulous Store owner Glenda Morgan, 54, of Andover.

Last month, a federal jury indicted Morgan and the store on charges of trafficking in fraudulent goods imported from China. The criminal charges accuse her of selling handbags, wallets, sunglasses, jewelry and other items bearing counterfeited trademarks of such manufacturers as Chanel, Christian Dior, Prada and Burberry, among others.

In its complaint, Coach asked the court to block the Wichita store from selling its fraudulent goods and to order it to destroy any remaining inventory. The company also seeks damages of more than $2 million for each counterfeited trademark. The civil lawsuit alleges copyright and trademark infringement, unfair competition, unjust enrichment and trademark dilution.

Investigators for Coach were with law enforcement agents when search warrants were executed April 9 at the store and at employee Frances Wuestewald's residence, according to the civil complaint. The representatives helped agents identify, sort, tag and photograph the counterfeit merchandise, which included 35 items bearing Coach trademarks, according to the firm's filing.

"Coach has expended substantial time, money and other resources in developing, advertising, and otherwise promoting the Coach Marks,Find great deals on hotmkbags for Michael Kors purses in Women's Clothing, Handbags and Purses." according to its filing. "As a result, products bearing the Coach Marks are widely recognized and exclusively associated by consumers, the public, and the trade as being high quality products sourced from Coach, and have acquired strong secondary meaning."

The company said its annual global sales exceed $4.5 billion dollars.

Morgan declined comment Monday. Wuestewald did not immediately respond to a phone message left at her home.

The store's business practices came to light after a postal carrier assigned to the store's route told the Department of Homeland Security the shop received about six to seven packages a month from China, according to a DHS affidavit. An inspection found numerous counterfeit items, and agents eventually seized nearly 2,600 items valued at about $1.5 million if authentic.

Federal agents went to Morgan's home in January 2011 and informed her of federal laws prohibiting the sale of counterfeit merchandise.I can't believe I ever shopped for Michael Kors Messenger Bags elsewhere. Morgan allegedly asked at the time why she was being singled out when others were doing the same thing, according to the affidavit, but agreed to abandon the seized items.

In March, agents acted on a tip that Morgan had resumed selling counterfeit goods. An undercover officer saw several name-brand handbags, wallets and sunglasses, as well as a sign stating the goods were replicas.

If convicted of the criminal charges, Morgan faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $2 million.

Third Period Recap: The Ducks survived their early penalty kill and set to work. And for once... they came out like they were down by two goals. Full-pressure on the gas pedal from the drop of the puck, putting five shots on Jimmy Howard in the first three minutes.Shop the latest prada bags on the world's largest fashion site. Selanne in particular looked like he was playing for his life, skating faster than I've seen him all season, and that's saying something for him.

Howard tried yet again to draw a penalty after taking even the slightest contact from Kyle Palmieri's stick. Thankfully the officials didn't buy that one but the "Blatant Howard Dive" counter ticked over to three on the night.

Detroit remained perfect however. Despite the pressure, they kept everything to the boards and gave the Ducks no room to go to the middle. Every time Anaheim brought the puck over the blue line they were faced with at least four Red Wings immediately.

And, frustratingly, it held. After that early flurry, the Ducks managed only two shots over the next 12 minutes as the Wings continued to simply control the puck and put it deep into the Anaheim zone. Time after time an exit pass went right to a Detroit stick and right back below the Anaheim goal line with very few becoming icing calls. It was a master class on turtling and killing the clock.Shop Michael Kors Collection and Michael Kors Leather Handbags--perfect for the jet-set woman on the go.
