This is quite fun because I had this conversation about fake stuffs with a colleague the other day.
I never bought (and hopefully never will) a counterfeit. But as far as I'm concerned, it depresses me to see so many people with the same "Givenchy/KTZ" top in Paris. It's a real nightmare.
Just to put yourself in the designer's shoes. I wouldn't like to see my work being copied cheaply and produced in a not-very-legal factory based somewhere lost in a poor region of the world.
When you buy the original piece, you not only pay for the "beauty" of it, but you pay for its quality as well. Buying a counterfeit is like buying something from Primark: you keep it for 2 months then throw it away because the quality is not there.
Buy the original and wear it a long time.
