BUYING FAKES: The Dark Truth | Sophie Shohet

The Truth About Buying Fake / Counterfeit / Knockoff / Replica Designer Goods. This is quite an interesting topic, since I realise I actually have been pretty uneducated on it! The buying of fake designer goods (watches, shoes, trainers, sneakers) and handbags is huge and is estimated to be worth approximately 9.3 billion GBP per year…this is an estimated figure of course, because sales are 97% of the time made in cash. So what really goes on behind the scenes when it comes to fake handbags? We tend to think of lovable rouges selling at markets, but I’ve found out that the reality is far darker. …sales can be used to fund drug cartels, guns, terrorism… normally children or trafficked people are used to produce these bags and goods. And for the ‘superfakes’ - items so close to the real thing that even some boutiques are unable to verify them. What are these about and why do they exist? Some sellers will tell you they’re “seconds” (bags produced by Chanel that are deemed as unfit for sale) – others will tell you they’ve been ‘made in the same factory that Chanel uses’.
