Harper's Bazaar Tells the Recessionista: Fakes Are Never In Fashion

WABC-NY posted an interesting piece about the rise in counterfeit bag sales in New York City. I guess my previous hypothesis that there will be a decline in fake handbag sales was wrong. It seems that as the economy continues to flounder, more women are interested in buying a counterfeit purse than ever.

Valerie Salembier of Harper's Bazaar contributed to the segment. She said she hoped that her readers understood the negative consequences of purchasing counterfeit fashion items: "Our readers should know that if they buy a counterfeit anything, their money is going to bad purposes."
