Someone should launch a specialist counterfeit goods search engine based in Russia.
These cases make me lol. All that stuff is overpriced crap anyway. I bet the counterfeits are the same quality. Now they're just getting butthurt because they tried to save money by cutting US/EU jobs, and the Chinese factories they outsourced to decided to do a little extra-curricular production. Boo fucking hoo.
They're no where near the same quality.
It varies - I've seen some good quality fakes, and some really shitty quality originals. A lot of the designer stuff I've seen in department stores is really badly made with stitching that hasn't been finished properly.
Lots of "fakes" here in Thailand.
