How many times have you seen you favourite brands selling in cheaper price. Do you know the market is flooded with copies of your favourite brand! It is always safer to buy from authorised brand retail outlets.
There are many markets where you will only find fake products with fake logos of international brands. e.g Guangzhou Zhan Xi Clothing Wholesale Market is near to the Guangzhou Railway Station and the provincial bus station.It is the clothing distribution center in Guangzhou and South China. It plays a important role in the China’s clothing wholesale market. Zhan Xi is very famous as the Fake Products Heaven in Guangzhou. There are a lot of fake famous brands clothes, bag ,watch and shoes.
If you take the example of the brand Lacoste, you will find there has been a consistent struggle for Lacoste’s trademarked logo in various places specially china. “Lacoste’s trademark came from company founder Rene Lacoste. The famous US tennis player was nicknamed “Crocodile” because of a bet he made with his captain, who promised him a crocodile skin suitcase if he won a match that was important for the team”.
Lacoste estimates currently more than 100 counterfeiters of the company’s products operating in China, although it is difficult to quantify how large a slice of its market share has been stolen by the pirates. The company also bears the additional expense of hefty fees for lawyers and private investigators who it has enlisted in the war against counterfeiters.
So as consumer it is high time you get aware. Of course there are people who willing go any buy fake products because they are cheaper. But think its better to have one original brand than having many fake ones. And for those brand loyal people pay attention to the detail of the logo and incase if you are confused its is always safer to buy from your brand authorized shop. Happy shopping 🙂
