Just go to a licensed Louis Vuittons store to make sure you're not getting a fake. Do not support terrorism by buying fake bags. If you save $3 a day, you can afford to buy a LV in a year. Don't buy any cheaper bags, just save your money for the real thing. Do the math. Be real.
My girl laughs when she sees a female sporting a fake LV or gucci bag..its simple..if you can't afford it simply don't buy it..and yes the LV are the easiest bags to spot if they're knock offs..Guccis are even easier, the material gucci uses in all its fabric is superior.
that blonde lady's full of shit! Name brands she mentioned like Prada and Gucci are hand made in Italy, which is why they cost a lot! Not hand made in China where they fall apart after a year! She's talking about sweat shops and unfair working conditions she's the bitch supporting it by buying fake purses in China Town! Glad she couldn't maybe she'll splurge for the real thing and find out first hand what REAL quality is!
yeah well its a little ridiculous that in order to get a "quality" designer handbag id have to pay like $800-$4000. They are SO overpriced & those bags are cute, but it did not cost LV thousands to make one bag!
close! LV had to pay people to make the bag in France (not sweat shops), then they had to pay duty for their products entering the country from the EU into a NAFTA country. Again you pay for quality, that $1000 bag will last 40 times longer than a fake bag. Also when you buy fake bags you're supporting terrorism, drug trade, and worst of all the counterfeit Chinese market! Lastly EVERY company marks up their merchandise. Cars, clothes, toys, electronics, everything. It's called business!
i know exactly how & where they are made. and yes they have good quality, but its a friggin BAG! I use it to throw my makeup, money & phone in. NO handbag is worth $1000! How ridiculous. People all over the world are starving to death, its incredibly ignorant to spend that much on something so insignificant. A fake LV has nothing to do with terrorism, dont be so dramatic. Thats not a business, thats ripping off people. I personally wouldnt buy a fake OR real bag. Stick to something realistic.
it has a lot to do with terrorism. The sale of counterfeit clothes and handbags help finance al-Qaeda and Hezbollah. Still don't believe me? Just so some research. And yeah it sucks when people spend a lot for handbags or clothes but honestly it's their decision to waste it
idk what youre talking about.. buying fake bags doesnt supposed terrorism, youre out of your mind!! Thats nuts. People are just trying to make money to feed their families in this crazy world. fake bags are a huge market. jesus.
hey, hu cares real or fake... sum ppl dont have jobs, they just wanna make enough to live, sumwhere 2 live sumtin 2 eat. just let em sell fakes, if u cant afford real then instead of society calling u a loser then buy a fake
Well think of it like this... if we as a mass of people weren't living in a materialistic society then there wouldn't be a problem with "knock-offs". But when one feeds the "machine" of greed and excess, well, this is the end result!
what you say is correct. if everyone wasn't living to be in a materialistic world, counterfeit won't happen. it is just those who can't afford the real ones, need to fit in thus buys the fake. but don't they realise there are handbags, cheaper and can do the same job? I dislike counterfeits, i throw them away if I get them as present. I support the real, if I can't afford it, i'd rather buy a non brand one rather than a fake.
Greed? Fact: If counterfeiting were a legal industry it would earn TWICE as much as Wal Mart and would be bring in TWICE as much profit every year. So if anyone's being greedy it's the Chinese for knocking off the products!
its not greedy, its just smart. face it. everyone knows they are fake bags, & not gonna last for 10years. They arent trying to pass them off as real, ive been to manhattan many many times & they tell you they are not real. Everyone wins... people get cute cheap(er) bags, and the people selling them get money for their families..& by the way, dont stereotype. chinese arent the only ones selling the bags. there are many different kinds of people doing it.i had black men come up to me just as much
fuck all dis pigs that did dis, not all people can afford real shit, now were am i gonna get my air jordans and air force one now, bwahhahahhaha damn u nyc pigs, go suck a dick, i know there just gonna sell those shit back on the streets, cops are more crooked than this people, government is the biggest mob, and cops are the capos. u dig, its a dirty world out there,
Not everything in Chinatown is fake and trust me on this I know mad places in Chinatown that sells 100% real shoes and etc so don't go saying everything in chinatown is fake it's just some who sells fake. If Everything they sold in Chinatown was fake, don't you think more stores are closed compared to the ones on the video?
All these people that got shutdown were all trying just to make a living. From experience I know that sweat shop workers dont care that the job doesnt pay good at all, they're just happy they have a job.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what people don't understand is that when you buy knockoff... aka illegal fake importing, ehh 'goods'... you're supporting war, guns, and terror... they people making and selling those fake bags over sees use that money simply to support drugs and violence and all that...
wayne, just to clarify things do you dislike peddlers and vendors themselves or the act of counterfeiting? Cause we're talking about counterfeit goods here and it seems like you're more on another topic. I agree that while peddlers/vendors can be annoying and do frequently take up the sidewalk, that's another topic than what we have here. These vendors weren't raided for being peddlers, they were raided for selling fakes.
folks just tryin to survive out here in this tough world.da cops need to do some real work like cleanin up da ghettos or stoppping the GOVERNMENT from shipping the drugs in to the ghettos.fake merchandise should be the last thing on their minds.who do they work for the corporations who make million and millions of dollars or the everyday citizen???
I make copies of Microsoft Windows 2008 and sell them on the street. I'm poor and I'm just making a buck that's all. Should I get arrested? We all know this sort of stuff is relatively "harmless" and Bloomberg was just being a dick. Just bags and jewelry and they're cheaper than the real stuff. But if you look at it from a larger scale, you as a consumer are doing several things: 1) knowingly cheating yourself 2) could be buying inferior quality 3) funding possible organized crime networks.
In Nigeria, tons of people join gangs that run 419 scams - spamming and cheating people out of millions on the Internet. Sometimes even killing them. They all claim they are poor and it's the most lucrative way to make money.
Hasn't the recent discoveries of fake inferior medicine, food, products from China taught you nothing about the dangers of counterfeiters? Lead based paint in babies' toys, poisons in dog food, dangerous substitute chemicals in Viagra, etc. Shall I go on?
Canal street is a reflection of what we don't see from the manufaturers of these products - the poor people that are exploited in third world countries so us lucky 'American citizens' can pay a ridiculous markup to support slave labor. What really needs to be cleaned up are the subways.
Canal Strret is like a third world country. More raids are needed to clean it up. Counterfeit handbags are only a small part of the problem. There are alot of animals roaming this street looking to do more than sell you a louis Vitton.
Your ignorance has burst all over my computer screen. I live here. All this is on my doorstep everyday. Walk a mile in my shoes and then comment. If you'd like, please post your address and I will be happy to have these "folks tryin to survive" set up camp in front of your door. I think you'll especially enjoy the aroma of urine they leave behind. also do your homework. Crime in NYC is at an all time low and murders last year were the lowest ever on record. less than 500 in a city of millions
oh really.are u serious.thas a complete lie bro.now i know u work somewhere in the government.first off the u.s. is going into a police state.and in big states like chicago and nyc.there is nearly a complete gun ban.which i think is against one of the amendments???hmmm.also crime in both those cities has skyrocketed.and its a fact that there is more drugs now than ever before.(especially since the government is the one bringing them in.)watch american drug war.and get some real info.
