The Routines For Buying And Selling Fake Packages Are In This Article.

The wholesale market for leather goods, located in the southern part of China, is open and honest. It opens up doors and deals with some unknown brands, but there are still more secrets hidden in the higher floors of the wholesale market, or hidden in the small residential buildings around.

The secret is concealment, but with some tacit understanding.

As long as the driver is near, there are squatting guests on the roadside to go up and hand over the cards.

On this little card, it is written in Chinese and English, "exclusive high-end luxury bags, watches..."

This is the base for buying and selling luxury goods.

In the dilapidated houses opposite to the Baiyun leather goods city in Guangzhou, the famous fake bag market is hidden, and it is necessary to enter through four or five barriers.

Increasingly secret supply chain

Wang Yue, a 40 year old luxury bag enthusiast, buys a boutique that most often goes with fake packages.

She said that the shop used to sell clothes only three years ago.

Because she was a "reputable old customer", she became the object of the boss's sales promotion.

A boutique does not own a supply chain for producing fake packages, often from wholesale markets.

Most large scale wholesale markets will encourage merchants to adopt the mode of "pre store and post factory" in the process of rising, that is, merchants will build factories on the market periphery to ensure the supply and control costs, so as to reduce the chain of supply chain and form the regional advantage of fakes production and marketing linkage.

This is why the relevant departments are always able to destroy factories when they smash up counterfeiting dens.

For example, the Guangzhou Public Security Bureau has publicly disclosed such arresting news: in February 2018, the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau Economic Investigation Detachment and Baiyun District Public Security sub Bureau cracked down two sales and storage of counterfeit leather dens in Baiyun trade center.

More than 1000 counterfeit bags including fake LV, Gucci, Hermes and Chanel were found at the scene.

On the same day, a total of 9 counterfeit dens were destroyed in the relevant areas. 11 thousand brands of Gucci, such as Gucci, were seized at the scene, and more than 20 packages were sold, involving an estimated amount of RMB about 30000000 yuan.

However, in recent years, the binding relationship between shops and factories has begun to weaken, and the actual location of sales outlets is becoming more and more dispersed.

On the one hand, after the rise of e-commerce shopping, many Internet platforms have also developed into an important channel for fake sales, such as Taobao, which is concentrated in private sellers.

Its Kering SA, a luxury brand such as Gucci and Saint Laurent, has initiated two lawsuits against Alibaba, saying its online shopping platform Taobao, Alibaba.com and related companies help sell and earn profits.

Several rounds of game down, in recent years, online and offline protection of intellectual property rights, efforts to crack down on counterfeit and shoddy work has been greatly ahead of the past: under the line, public security organs have constantly cracked down on counterfeiting and selling online shops, and all platforms on the Internet have also been "fidelity" through various channels.

The Alibaba launched the "big data fraud alliance" in January 2017. Louis Vuitton is the founding member of the alliance. In August 2017, the company reached a lawsuit settlement with Kai Yun and announced that it would work together to establish a working group on counterfeiting.

In 2012, a leather processing plant in Huizhou, Guangdong, was seized about 6000 counterfeit luxury handbags and half finished products. The amount involved was about 200 thousand yuan.

As the crackdown increases, the channels for selling fake goods are becoming more and more secrecy and privatization.

From the offline channel, it is necessary to put aside the need to run the goods shop, or the "bee", so that the wholesale business will not be able to pick up the goods. The buyers can go to the wholesale market for a few years, and now they can only browse the boutiques and custom shops on the street.

According to Lili, custom shop is a popular holiday shop in recent years.

There are many Hermes platinum bags and Kelly bags for specialty skins.

They will claim that they have hired some leather artisans with luxury brand experience, and imported "genuine" and "original" metal parts with the same money to make "private" bags for their customers.

The status of online channels is similar.

It is almost impossible for consumers to search for fake products directly on the electronic business platform, and even enter the "L package V", "C home bag" and "ancient CCI".

WeChat, text messaging, and Instagram, jitter and other popular social networking platforms are still spaces for sellers.

On the one hand, people who sell fake products will randomly add WeChat friends to send private letters, or send spam messages with genuine messages, and cast net to reach potential customers.

On the other hand, they will buy potential advertisements on potential platforms such as Instagram, jitter, and so on.

In order to prevent the platform from shielding the information through the background monitoring means, the product graph released by the sellers is likely to be a publicity map of genuine products; they will also send out the topic of brand or product name with the same impression, so that the content they publish will appear to be shared with the ordinary users; the only difference is that they tend to leave a contact mode and a welcome consultation under their own comment area.

"Fake" fake bag

In addition to the simple online and offline channels, the sellers have also found a new way to cover both online and offline businesses in the past two years.

With the rise of the concept of "Hai Tao", the momentum of purchasing is growing.

By buying on behalf of the packaging, fake goods can be pformed into reality, profits instantly rose, the cost of hundreds of dollars, the sale is worth tens of thousands.

"I think this is the most intolerable thing in the industry, but now it happens too much," said Lili, head of ALBB, a chain luxury nursing shop. "If customers know that it is a fake, then the sale is your wish, but if the real goods are sold on fake goods, there will be no morals."

Lili has a professional luxury leather appraisal qualification. He opened many stores and met many customers with fake home care.

The same thing is easy to happen in second-hand stores and ancient shops.

Buying "medieval bags" is a fashionable trend that has become more and more popular in China in recent years.

In Japan and some European and American countries, this is already a trend and tradition pursued by some fashionable people.

Lili's store will also do some luxury resale business, but the receptionist is usually familiar with acquainted customers, who are afraid that some "poor quality" customers will bring excellent products, but they will be suspicious of their products.

For example, she said, now even some famous Japanese shops will "look at the eye", accept the fake bag, let the fake bag circulate in the identity of the ancient bag, so she dare not take it lightly.

"The quality of some fake bags is almost the same as that of certified products.

Very often, experienced experienced appraisers are also hard to distinguish between true and false.

Lili said, "in particular, there are some big brands, in order to increase profits, and after a large increase in output, the quality inevitably goes down."

But who is buying fake bags?

A stereotype may be that the young people who think we have low incomes but are devoted to fashion are the main customers of fake packages.

On the contrary, many buyers, in fact, have a good income, or even a lot of money.

They believe that if "false is true", there will not be too many people.

Wang Yue's family is rich. She actually owns a large number of luxury brands.

Now, she will buy some more exaggerated, brightly coloured fake packages for clothing or travel, as long as the fake bag technology is not too bad.

Zhu Yingying, a white collar at the age of 30, has always been a fan of luxury brands. The only fake bag in her wardrobe is a friend.

That's a high imitation Louis Vuitton Chain Wallet.

She confessed that she had studied the bag, but she had been playing it for a long time. If she hadn't been friends, she had said that the bag was fake. She would never have thought about the authenticity of the bag.

But in the end, she found some clues. She approached the bag and smelled a "familiar market shoe smell" at the seams.

"Before seeing the true and false, it may take a look at the line and look at the hardware. Then the fake bag is still not called high imitation. Now there are many changes in the past few years. It can be said that the identification standards of each year will be different. It is useless to see the posts that identify the teaching on the Internet." Lili said, "luxury brands are constantly changing their craft for the sake of counterfeiting. Correspondingly, those high imitation manufacturers are constantly following up. Many of the fake places we saw last year are likely to be counterfeit this year.

Lili said that Guangzhou was the largest counterfeit in the past, but now there are more other places. Shanghai, Hangzhou and even foreign countries, such as South Korea, are fake.

In August 2014, Shenzhen Luohu market supervision sub Bureau seized a number of fake brand-name packets, of which the owner also provided fake invoices, POS machines and so on.

Original goods? Don't be lucky.

And the high imitation goods are also present in the fake package market. There are also the so-called original factory products and the finished goods.

This refers to those licensed by the brand, using regular raw materials and finished processing, but because of quality defects and other reasons are not passed by the brand acceptance, and directly from the factory to the market.

"They do not say that they are imitation goods, because things and genuine products are an order factory, but when they bought it there were no trademarks or packaging." Zhuang Hui, who works in state-owned enterprises, said that many of his big bags were the original products. "I didn't buy them as genuine or bought goods, but they thought they were good quality and easy to use, and bought them when they saw fit."

With some luxury brands moving to China and other places in order to increase production and control costs, it is possible that the Chinese market is likely to have original orders and final orders.

However, the number of such packages will not be much: if the order is 1000, there will be at most 10 original packages that can be collected.

Because usually, luxury brands will strictly control the number of fabrics and raw materials to be delivered to the factory, even if the material of the defective parts is retained, but it is not enough to produce enough quantities of the original goods that are advertised.

Moreover, under normal circumstances, the brand will strictly supervise the destruction of the inferior products in the representative factory, and not all brands will have factories in China, and the volume and type of goods that can flow to the market can be imagined.

Therefore, most of the original documents and goods in the market are still high imitation goods, but some of them may be used as part of the original genuine accessories, which is closer to the real products.

And this kind of goods is more visible in the fake shoes market.

Because of the different requirements for the splicing process and the matching degree of genuine and fake materials, the assembly of fake shoes generally refers to a genuine shoe and a fake shoe, and even dust-proof bags will be given to a real and fake one.

The custom shop has many Hermes platinum bags and Kelly bags for special skins.

The appearance of original goods is more like a "dream" woven by a fake seller for buyers. It can buy a real luxury package at a price of 1/5, 1/10, or even lower.

The popularity of this concept is mainly due to the fact that market demand does exist - although it is clear that buying fake goods, people who buy it still want their bags to be as real as possible.

Like Wang Yue, she would stare at this familiar shop, willing to spend thousands of dollars to buy a "high imitation" bag, and confirm every time the details of the bag's hardware and so on, knowing that the "genuine hardware is doing very well". Zhu Ying Ying smelled the bag, and knew that the bag was not going out, but she would take pictures of it now. Zhuang Hui's "original single bag" was dragged by her husband to buy it. Her husband was from Xinji and had acquaintances in Xinji leather city.

"The present bag is really hard to distinguish between the true and the false, and some people who pretend to be false are also considered to be true. Some people actually look like a fake."

Wang Yue has a set of own bag logic, "my bag, I don't say no one will find it a fake, but when I go to the party, I will bring a real bag, when I travel, I love to take a fake bag, so it's dirty and not heartache."
