Thread Name: BS: Pitfalls in buying a genuine fake
Subject: RE: BS: Pitfalls in buying a genuine fake
In a trip to Seoul, my daughter bought copies of Gucci and Vuitton bags. Excellent workmanship, just as good as the originals. Companies such as Vuitton, which prints their name or initials all over their product and sells it for big money, deserve to be ripped off.
Once, of course, I would never wear a pair of blue jeans that didn't have the Levi Strauss patch above the back pocket. Now they are made off shore so I buy cheapies from Work Warehouse.

John otSC reminded me of a furniture store here in Calgary (thankfully out of business) that had a sign on the door, "Genuine Furniture." Another I have seen is "genuine simulated pearls."
