Only in the Philippines you can see a lot of knockoff stuff like shirts, shoes, bags. They are sold everywhere, especially online and I wonder what the police are doing. It’s illegal, right? I had a PTA meeting yesterday and I was surprised to see the parents wearing LV bags and Chanel shirts. They must be rich, I thought. Then a woman sitting beside me pointed out how the Chanel has two N’s as in Channel. Oopsie.. Would you buy or wear knockoff products?

I'd rather not have logos on my clothing, unless a company gives it to me... I have a heavy winter coat that a company gave me 30-something years ago that I still wear once in a while.

@sol_cee It's a coat... I wear it when it's really cold and hang it in the closet when I don't need it. What kind of care does it need? I have a heavy leather coat that is older but it still looks brand new... Coats don't need any special care.

Oh I buy them all the time. Actually. I've been bad. I designed shirts with the Glasgow Rangers Badge which I changed slightly and sold loads of. I had a local garment printer print the badge on the shirts for me £1 for the badge £3 for the shirt I sold them for £20 each

That t-shirt . I'm not really into name brands or designer anything . I do remember in high school my friend introduced me to knock off perfumes . . . I remember liking the knock off of Giorgio, even though it was a teeny bit too strong .

Trust me,dear,knockoff is worldwide circumstance,there are lots of such products here.You may buy a branded clothes at a very low price,obviously,that's fake product.But still lots of ppl buy it due to low price.furthermore,i think this circumstance can't be eliminated,because there are requirements for knockoff forever.

I won't as that looks like accepting cheats. I recall imitation KIT KAT chocolate was sold as KAT KIT in Indonesia years ago. I heard one gets into trouble with such stuff in some European countries.
