Downtown Toronto

Street venders (if you can find any now a days) will often have what you are looking for.

Watches and sunglasses are very easy to find in downtown Chinatown. I see street venders and as well as in some stores down there all the time.

Try some of the small shops in China town, Korea town or even the Pacific mall.
I picked up a pair of knock off sun glasses "Oaklys" in Korea town. ;)

Bangkok, Oriental setting and the city don't know
Bangkok, Thailand is a great place for this stuff. All the stores and vendors on the street are stocked well with counterfeit goods. And most of the knock off's are of such good quality that it's had for the average person to know it's not real. Gucci, Louie Vaton, Chanel, etc bags can be had for as little as $10 and this makes it even more worth while to buy. I got searched in Customs and they didn't even care at all about all the knock off stuff I was bringing back...... they were looking for Thai DRUGS ;)

The same factories that are sub-contracted or contracted to make the genuine goods are often making the knock-offs in their down time. Even if you run two shifts for your legit customers - you still have another shift available to run your own stuff. This is not universal across the board but with the so many companies off-shoring, this is one of the consequences they endure.

I've heard of the same thing going on with Motorola factories in China where there is a good percentage stolen from the factory by the workers.

Between a rock and a hard place
I've picked up a few nice gRolex Watches.and ePrada bags

Saw them advertised on CBS - Asian Style


isnt it great western world develops desireable merchandise and the reputation to go with it just so Eastern world can capitalize on their imageand devalue their reputation destorying the market for eveyone? There oughta be a law.

Hey hey, but I still love Tommy ties and Polo vests with that Burberry -like diamond pattern.

BTW, why not head over to the Harry Rosen sale down at the Scotia Plaza? You can get a Bugatti wind breaker for just under $800! :D But, seriously, the shirts and ties are like half price and so are some of the suits. I thought I would never buy a Zegna shirt cause it was out of my price range, but at the Harry Rosen sale I got one for a good deal.

Canal St. in NYC. They have a huge garbage full of knockoff handbags like Prada. Shop fast because once they see the police coming, they tend to run off. :rolleyes:

Yep the corner of Canal/Baxter is great for that. Or further along Canal St about 100 metres West. You will be approached by a group using the Mike system of phones and you will be passed off to 3 people as they either move you to the hidden 3 floor office space or show you a catalogue and then run off to get the item.
Breitling and Patek are the new craze in knock off watches. Rolexs you still find but not very common as the police are really coming down on those vendors.
