When eBay let the Chinese come in it ruined my business except for repeat customers. Most people can’t tell the fakes from the authentic stuff. I can spot a fake a mile away unless it’s a AAA but looking at it I can tell. Most people can’t.
It is hard...amd like you said, subtle. Until they buy a hooch LV and realize the leather doesn.t ‘patina’....and stays pink, platic crap where the platic veneer is peeling off.
My sister’s friend bought a ‘Coach’ bag.....only realizing, later, that it said ‘Cooch’. LMAO! That still cracks us up.
