Fake designer

[tamirra]

Hi, is there a site that sells fake designer wear, and handbags etc please? Thanks

[Ethel]

As counterfeit goods are illegal it is wrong of you to ask this information

[gelda]

What if they advertise them as fake Ethel, is that still illegal?

[tamirra]

Yes im sure that would e ok wouldn`t it?

[sara3]

it's still counterfeit.. it just means you know what you're getting but the designers are still being ripped off.

it's still illegal and you're likely to end up with something of very poor quality. you'll be disappointed, it won't last and you'll have to wonder what kind of sweatshop it came out of.

a false economy all round, I'd say.

The genuine company will own the rights to use their own name and logo.

Eg. If you advertise "imitation Gucci" bags, it's still illegal, because whoever made the bags has used a logo or a pattern, the intellectual property to which is owned by Gucci.

Ebay sells a lot.

(which is what sara said, but she beat me to it)

OK i will forget that idea then, but its like the clothes and items sold in Primark, that all comes from sweatshops it was on the tv but we all probally still buy from there as its cheap.

Gelda's made me laugh - 'advertise them as fakes'.

So they are 'genuine fake Gucci'? :)

Still illegal

Does that mean that if you all were offered fake dvd`s, cd`s ect you would not consider purchasing them?

[B00]

Ethel wouldn't no- she's a pillar of her community. Me on the other hand would, i've not as many morals or scruples as our Ethel here ;-)

[tamirra]

Me too Boo ; )

Get down to your local market and you will find them or the large markets that always take place on a bank holiday monday

In my experience fake goods are often better quality especially mens designer clothing

[tamirra]

Rev what a good idea, you obviously wear them then too?

[B00]

In all honesty, if the designer stuff wasn't so stupidly expensive- I fail to see why they need to be? We wouldn't buy the fake stuff.

[LoftyLottie]

Why would anybody want fake designer stuff anyway. What is so important about having a designer label, genuine or fake.

Why can't we be more individual than following designer fashion?
