Oh, That's A Lovely Bag. Is It Goochi Or Louie Vittone?

A woman was arrested for selling counterfeit designer clothes from her driveway. And, yeah, counterfeiting is illegal and bad, but on the other hand, is there anyone who thinks they're buying authentic designer stuff from someone in a driveway for a fraction of the regular cost? No, they know it's fake, but they want the label and that's the only way most of them will be able to afford it. Not to condone counterfeiting, but the effect isn't to take away a purchase -- people buying a fake outfit from a vendor wouldn't have purchased the real thing at the real price anyway -- but to dilute the exclusive cachet the brand carries. If some schlub is wearing a top designer name, it doesn't help make it trendy. (KPHO-TV/Phoenix)
