The Luxury Of Counterfeit Products, "Extraordinary" High Imitation Art (Map)

I wonder if you have found that there are more and more people on the back of a big bag -- they have suddenly had a gold of two thousand, or did they not put LV and Chanel in their eyes at all?

Even the old wives who collect waste products use it to buy vegetables.

Yes, sharp, you will soon realize that "it's all fake!"

Indeed, the technology of counterfeiting is becoming more and more extraordinary.

From the original trademark to the real and false, the word "high imitation" has been born.

It is the embodiment of a new generation of fashion imitations. These exquisite imitations are made of high quality materials, with zippers and buckles of brand names, and even smart shoppers will be fooled.

Of course, do not think that imitation is only in China, and the "high above" luxury goods origin is the same in other European and American countries.

Well built, deceived "ace"

A photographer named Gugin Angelo recently bought a YSL handbag. After a while, she found that a handle of her handbag was broken, so he took it to a YSL boutique in New York to repair it.

However, not only was the bag not repaired, but the sales assistant also told a sad fact that her handbag was a fake.

The sales assistant at that time enumerated the details such as the wrong lining of the bag and the lack of imprint on the bottom to prove that the bag was not true, which made Angelo feel very ashamed.

"I feel like I am going back to school and being educated in the principal's office," she said.

As a photographer, Angelo photographers often shoot fashion accessories and are familiar with high-end handbags.

She bought eBay YSL black handbag from 300 dollars to keep her happy.

The low price had made her suspect that it might be a fake, but when she got it, from the price tag that looked like a genuine product, she thought, "Wow, it's true."

The fact that the new generation of fashion forgery is well developed makes more people believe it is true, and MS. Angelo has become such a victim.

These imitations are completely different from those that sell to consumers who know that they are buying fake goods on sale at the corner of the street, selling cheap imitation packages with "Prada" or "Gucci" logo.

These goods are made of high quality materials, with a brand name on the zippers and buckles. They seem to cover the locations and dates of the products in the right place. Even smart shoppers are fooled by them, especially on the Internet.

The Internet is a platform for "deception".

Frederick Felman, chief marketing officer of MarkMonito, a company that helps companies protect their brands, says that sellers of counterfeit goods can easily build e-business websites that look legitimate. They look like selling genuine websites, with complete product descriptions, promotional pictures and signs.

They also buy keyword ads for search engines to attract consumers who want to buy cheap products.

The prices of imitation products are rising, so that consumers who want to buy genuine products at a discount price are in a fog.

Nevertheless, the high price of counterfeit products is only small compared with the price of a genuine product (the price of Ms. Angelo's YSL genuine handbag is more than $1500).

Second hand markets are often counterfeiters selling fake goods to unsuspecting consumers.

EBay said it vigorously cracked down on counterfeit goods, and partly used special tools for brands or other intellectual property to report product lists.

EBay says that when the brand thinks the product is untrue, the product will be deleted within a few hours.

EBay will also independently examine the list of millions of counterfeit products.

However, some manufacturers are introducing products through such covert security measures, searching for online unauthorized product sales websites, and trying to prevent them from fighting back.

The International Chamber of Commerce estimates that the value of counterfeit and pirated products around the world is about $600 billion, which doubled in 2015.

Counterfeit shoes were ranked first among the items seized, and clothing and handbags ranked third and fourth respectively.

Vecchi Lariotis is a student and a fashion blogger. In a local consignment store, she saw a Chanel bag that she thought was antique.

Before buying it, she looked at the bag carefully.

The metal parts represent the company's name, and the front cover is the brand specific signature -- the interlocking double C logo.

Larry Otis even sniffed the scarlet Quilted Handbag to see if it was genuine leather.

Finally, she believed it was true, and spent more than 100 dollars on the bag.

"I don't think they will make a fake with that nice leather."

She said.

But later, Larry Otis deduced from the lining and other signs that she bought a fake.

She put it in her wardrobe and said, "I can't bring it. I feel like a cheater."

More than 60% of counterfeit goods seized by US law enforcement officers came from China last year. China has a large number of skilled labor force, and is becoming an increasingly important manufacturing base for luxury goods.

Counterfeit goods from China were increased by 18%, partly due to the seizure by frequent mailing pactions.
