How do you feel about knock offs? You know, those purses that look like Chanel but are less than $100? I read recently in Marie Claire's December issue that these knock offs cost "the world economy a whopping $610 billion a year." That's a lot of dollar bills, or loonies since we don't have 1 dollar bills in Canada.
These knock offs are so good that even the pros have a hard time telling the differences. They're that good. One thought: how about making a really good quality affordable version of your own line? That way you'd take the wind out of the pirated goods. If I can get a genuine budget Chanel, I'd get that. There would be no temptation to get the fakes at all if you could get the real thing.
That's just a thought. What do you think? I really don't know too much about it since I'm not really one for branded things all that much, as long as it's pretty. Pretty!
p.s. check out my fabulous *if I do say so myself* post about Christmas traditions on Blue Eyed Owl.
p.p.s I said there would be a giveaway when I hit 200 on GFC, and I meant it. But I'm doing two right now *one currently, and one yesterday on another blog* , so I'm going to wait until the New Year. We'll have one very early in the New Year to celebrate 200 GFC friends!

I totally agree with you about making an affordable line. That's why I love the designer lines at Target so much!
ReplyDeleteHahaha. I have a few of those "husband pictures" myself. :P
