I don't know why they don't make nice bags for $200.
It's because of the demand side of the equation. There's a large enough market of aspirational consumers who really just want the brand name but can't afford to pay the mid-market price ($20 vs $200 vs $2000). The perceived quality, whether it's actually there or not, comes from their ability to wear and show the brand name. Globally, that's a large enough market to make it continually worthwhile for producers and resellers to continue the counterfeiting, especially at the very low end.
