Does anybody actually think street vendors are actually selling Prada bags? Unless you keep the NFC tags in your purchased items and invite your friends to scan you for authenticity, I think this is just a way for NFC vendors to rip off Prada.
- felixmar 15y agoThis is really about informing the customers of legitimate stores that (unknowingly) sell counterfeit products at full price.

I'd wager that most of the people know they're all fake - my girlfriend certainly did - but the purse I bought her was nice enough to pass for one, and it's a nice purse regardless of whatever logo someone superglued to it in a garage. People buying these things in the street aren't going to bother checking them.
- kristofferR 15y agoIt's a much bigger problem than that. Thousands of rich Chinese people travel to the US/Europe just to buy luxury items, since it's borderline impossible for them to be sure that the items they buy are legit if they buy it in stores in China. Fakes doesn't have to be poor quality, there are also a lot of top-notch fakes out there rivalling (or even sometimes beating) the quality of the originals. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/15/world/europe/eager-chinese-shoppers-flock-to-paris-stores.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/15/world/europe/eager-chinese...
