    As a psychotherapist - now retired - can I suggest that you go to
    the root of the problem. 

    Use a three part strategy 

    Tell her how you feel. Don't blame - don't say "I feel you..." and
    make it a real feeling such as "I feel disappointed/angry/upset." 

    Tell her why. "It's because your designs are so like mine." 

    Tell her what you want to happen - not what you want her to DO! "I'd
    like to see a real difference in our offers." 

    Stand firm and ask - don't demand, don't blame and don't bring in
    other people. It's between the two of you.
