I take your point, though counterfeit goods aren't necessarily made of substandard materials. There are plenty of ways to skimp and then take advantage of the brand's existing reputation beyond shoddy crafting.
- rchaud 7y agoI was thinking 'counterfeit' in terms of things like baby formula and plastic rice, which cause severe consequences when co-mingled with regular inventory. I believe that's the scenario the author was referring to. For things like knockoff handbags, the materials used are largely the same and the price premium is heavily dependent on brand itself and not the cost of production and regulatory compliance.
