Knock-offs - love them or loathe them?

Knock-offs are not the same as fakes. A 'fake' Chloe Paddington handbag would have the name 'Chloe' branded on the padlock. It would be trying to fool you into thinking it is made by Chloe. An example of a knock-off Chloe Paddington handbag is the Lush Fashions padlock bag selling at a fraction of the price. The Lush version does not pretend to be made by Chloe - it has 'Lush' inscribed on the padlock. Here's another example -


Last season's Marc by Marc Jacobs Triple Strand Shoes (above) now on sale for £153 have emerged in river island's autumn/winter collection albeit in a different colour (black or red available for the great knock-off price of £44.99).


What do you think? A complete rip-off of someone else's designs or the perfect scenario for those who can't afford the real thing? Leave your comments!

speaking as someone who's usually to broke to afford the real thing, i say knock-offs are the perfect scenario. although if i could afford it, i'd rather have the real thing.
