Fakes come at a high price
One of the intractable aspects of the trade in counterfeit luxury goods is that even when buyers are alerted to the fake provenance of designer handbags, many will continue with the purchase. The authorities are cracking down on the trade as reported in The National’s business section today, but a long-term solution is needed. The sale of counterfeit goods not only denies companies the rewards of their meticulously developed brands but is also exploited by organised crime and possibly terrorists, too. Clearly, buying counterfeit goods is far from the victimless crime that some people claim when justifying their purchases.
