To be honest, the one I bought some time ago was definitely NOT fake. Working in fashion myself, I can easily tell by the little tiny details (like branded inside labels etc etc) that no-one would start developing or pay attention to. Also, usually if fake, quality will be less to make the price a lot lower. For sure there is fake around, I am not denying that. But if it looks real it may be:
- Salesmen samples of a style or colour that is cancelled by the brand
- Salesman samples declined for quality reasons
- Overstock (e.g. minimum production is 10.000 units, but only 8.500 were sold, brand pays the upcharge for the lost 1.500 units and NORMALLY factory should "destroy" the 1.500 units, which may not happen)
So it COULD be real, it COULD be fake. The ones I bought were too good to be fake. And if it is a very good fake of which no-one can tell the difference... who cares right?
Been to temple street market and ladies market a couple of times, I never find any good stuff there. Just a lot of rip offs of Louis Vuitton, Hermes etc. Not too interested in that because people know I would not be able to afford it anyways so anyone would immediately spot it was fake. I think it's silly to go down that route in that case and prefer to buy unbranded stuff at better quality
What happens if it were A??? Dunno??? Haha! Wink Wink doublewink!
