NY Times on Knock-Offs
"They Sell No Fake Before Its Time" - NY Times article on street vendors, specifically those that sell fake goods. Interesting points:
- people insist on beleiving that the goods 'fell off the back of the truck' and therefore are real (which, the article asserts, is seldom the case);
-some purchasers have no clue as to which luxury brand is the target of the knock-off they're buying ;
-some bags are sold labeless, and the purchaser pays extra to have a label glued on.
