I don't understand all the hostility toward replicas. Fashion, like most art, is derivative. There is virtually nothing that hasn't been done before...at one time or another. What's so terrible about wearing copies and saving 70% or more? As long as you don't try to pass along the copy as real by branding it with the original's logo (or any original stamp), I see absolutely nothing wrong with it.
The quality argument is a joke. You're not buying a car, computer camera etc. We're talking about buying fashion clothing, which by definition, is buying planned obsolescence.
Please don't tell me that you're stealing $$ from the original designers because 99% of the people who buy replicas could never buy the original. You can't steal something that someone never had.
Anyone who insists on only buying "originals" is just interested in collecting l$#^&s............(that dirty 6 letter word)
