fake merchandise

SO WHERE are all these fake merchandise comming from?!??! i swear, at my school there is a HUGEEE increase in fake juicy and rock and republics. who cares about the fake bags and accessories like LV, dior and gucci. WHERE are people buying the clothes?! its so weird! like out of no where there are so many fake clothing!

im not against it or whatever, i just find it so weird. there was this girl in my marketing class, and i asked where she got her jeans from and she said from a 'hotel' and there 150$ each for fake rock and republics! and then people are saying how there are stores in metrotown that sell fake items? that is just WAY too weird. and why would you spend so much on a fake item?

im so sick of juicy now because so many people at my school have it, but i love juicy so much! so now my brand of intrest will be primp! LOL so anyways, i just wnated to know where the fake stuffs comming from? obviously HK and asia but.. curious in how like people like us are buying them? and where do you here about it?

Re: fake merchandise

yeah i see too many people with fake rock and republics.

i saw some white girl with fake victoria beckhams..it's totally obvious they were fake cuz the washes on the jeans weren't like rock and republics and the thickness of the denim

..and i dunno..it kinda annoys me wen i see more and more fakes of the brand i like..

Re: fake merchandise

YEAH there a few girls (majority of them gr8) that are carrying around fake juicys. AND THEY'RE SO UGLY!!! like, i wouldn't mind if atleast they were a GOOD LOOKING fake but the ones they have are pretty hideous.

i've heard there are a few chinese stores that have "secret backrooms" like the store trends or something. i'm not too sure -- i've never bought anything or stepped in that store. sounds kinda creepy to me. and fake clothing can be bought on eBay, craigslist, etc. some of my friends have "connections" as well.

Re: fake merchandise

lotta ppl in list 4 all have fake rocks for sale...they always claim they have a lot of sizes left..those are the fake ones...cuz seriously..who in their right mind will buy a ton of REAL rock and republics in different sizes and put them on sale..

u'll know its fake cuz the fake ones are shorter while real ones are made with 35+" inseam...fake ones have a cheap looking wash to it...and the real ones have the rock and republic style wash..also the tag where it says "rock and republic" is different. real ones say "Rock &" the word underneath is "Republic" in bold letters...the fake ones have tinier font.
Also the crystal roths for fakes.....the crystals aren't uniformly put on as the real ones..and doesn't shine as brightly as the real ones.

i compared my rocks to fake ones...and those are the details i noticed.

Re: fake merchandise

i dont know where the knockoff merchandise are coming from but some people steals the clothes from the store/warehouse. then they rent a hotel or a house and sell all the clothes they stoled.

Re: fake merchandise

Really? I thought it was like stolen merchandise... that they sold for cheap. I don't know... maybe we're talking about different stores.

yeah, people actually do that. they sell about 50% off the retail price at their house or hotel.

Re: fake merchandise

people make the fake suits to make profits, of course. Most of the fake merchandaise come from ebay or other chinese stores, night market and so on. They do sell fake designer purses, clothing and jewelry at Crystal Mall.

Re: fake merchandise

argh...fakes, depreciate your "real" item (which, by the way, was paid for with hard earned money). Over the weekend I saw a girl wearing an "Armuni" Exchange tee i had to do a double-take.

stolen goods just helps to raise the retail price in stores, because merchants will have to compensate for their losses.

Re: fake merchandise

I compleeetely agree with you RosiePosie and JazureSky.

Only ignorant ppl buy fakes and try to pass it as authentic pieces. Kinda sad actually. If you can't afford the bling, buy other brands. I guess there's always gonna be ppl in this world who's always frontin. As long as I know I'm keepin it real and always buy my quality merchandise from the authorized stores.
