Hi all,
Was reading an article last night about designer goods and the cost of counterfeiting to the producers. Very interesting stuff.
Anyway, I was shocked to read that a Luis Vuitton bag cost EUR1200. The counterfeiters can turn out nearly identical bags for EUR40, that's one thirthieth of the price.
So I was left wondering, how the hell do they come up with this figure of EUR1200. Ok, the quality is probably a lot better but surely not to the tune of EUR1160. Surely, it's just a case of 'we'll charge whatever people are foolish enough to pay' (maybe I'm being a bit harsh).
Personally, I find 1200 Euro for a bag to be disgusting. Having said that, I was chatting to my wife about it and she said that if money was no object, she'd pay that!
What's going on? Does anyone know of anyone who has paid that for a bag/fashion accessory? Is the whole world gone stark raving mad? Please help. Please Please......
