| What do you think of fake goods? Do you agree with people manufacturing them as the real deal is too expensive, or would you never buy fake?? I have a collection of fake LV luggage and a fake watch. I would never sell fake tho as illegal. |

| Lol... you are the law! Im not telling you! Nah, just kidding... I am a 'real or nothing' person, so, as I cant justify the real since having kids, I go with nothing. I dont totally agree with people manufacturing them, but in reality, while there is a market for them, then I guess they wont stop. I do think that as long as it doesnt fund crime/guns, etc. then its not doing too much harm. |

| Hmm, when you say fake..do you mean they pass them off as fake and charge as much as the original? or they are fake and sell them at half the price like imitations? Either way..I don't do fake Not that I'm a snob, I just don't really have expensive taste lol. I do buy an imitation perfume that smells like Angel - cos I love the stuff and couldn't afford to buy my own all the time |

| Personally I'd never buy fake but thats because I'd never buy real designer stuff either, it just doesn't appeal to me |

| I never been a 'label' kind of person so no I dont buy fake (I did buy some handbags years ago in greece but they werent real fakes, just had the label and I bought them as I like the bag not the label , if that makes sense) I bought 2 Bench tops on Ebay once (different shops) and the second one was so obviously a fake, so I contacted TS, the shop was closed that night on ebay cos the TS guy could tell from my pics that it was fake and TS actaully raided the house where they were trading from, although never heard anything more but the guy said they'd start up with in weeks elsewhere , BUT loads of people had left + feedback which peed me off cos that why I bought it - I got a refund so wasnt too bad in the end. So no I dont knowingly buy fake goods and certainly wouldnt buy a fake bag/clothes/shoes now |

| Depends. If i liked the item, and it wasnt just for the label I might eg a purse/bag at market or hols. Same with t-shirts etc.... but only if I knew they were imitations and I liked the thing in the 1st place.
When I was a teenager i remember my mum bringing me a fake kickers t-shirt back from a weekend in dublin and me being mortified that it was a 'fake'. Dont think I ever wore it out as I worried my friends would make fun of me for being poor/cheap!
These days im happy with primark! |

| I have a few fake louis vuitton bags that I got because I liked the designs and a few others like prada and chanel. I love them and could never afford the real deal and they are made really well. Some of the fakes are really bad but these are actually good quality bags, a place in the market sells them so I like to treat myself |

| i dont think ive ever had any thing fake, like trying to be the real thing..
but i had things when i was a kid which were like what ever.. but they wasnt trying to pull them selfs off as being the real thing if you get me?
i think i would buy some thing like that again, if it wasnt trying to be what ever |

| I have a few bits of fake things, mostly from the market. Some things are very good imitations and do the job just as well, i have a pair of nike trainers you'd never know they were fake. i wouldn't bother getting something thats clearly rubbish, Its gotta be a quality fake lmao! Sound like a chav here huh, Oh well! |

| I'm not into labels so never really think about it. When I was in Vietnam our guide was telling us how people who work in the factories making designer stuff pinch the odd garment and then copy them. They look genuine apparently until you wash them and they fall to bits because they are made with really cheap materials. OH bought some fake Oakley sunglasses in a Spanish market once and they broke within an hour. He went on and on about having them (they weren't that cheap) so every now and again I remind him . He has a real pair now and has had for about 5 years so per wear the real ones are cheaper. |

| I don't do fake! If I buy something it's because I like the item, not the designer. I do have some nice designer things but I also have stuff from peacocks etc. I usually get decent sunglasses at the airport because I wear them alot. The only reason I don't do fake as it's cheap crap! |

| nah I dont do labels anyway. Im more a quantity rather than quality type person so would rather have a wardrobe full of high street clothes and bags and wear a different outfit for every occasion than have a few really expensive items.
so wouldnt buy fake or real. but I do like to spend 50/60 quid on a nice bag. so even though its high street its still good quality
