| It's kind of funny that the author of this site even admits that he/she was unable to differentiate the difference between the "fake" products and the "real" products. The truth is that the only difference is a licensing agreement. The so called "fake" items are oftentimes better quality than the store bought items. They are the same material and the workmanship is just as good. Also, if you are buying clothing, then you will notice that the unlicensed products have not been handled by store employees or tried on by customers. They usually come mint condition in the bag. Finally, the so called "fake" products are about 80% lower than the prices of the same thing in the malls. Yes! It is the same thing. I spoke to a represented of Ralph Lauren once and they admitted to me that the "knock-offs" were the same thing, however, their customers would not buy if the price was that low. There you have it! It is all psychological. Let's face it...there is only so much value that you can add to a cotton shirt or leather purse before the price becomes ridiculous. If you are buying the "real" products in the mall then you are getting ripped off. |
