Shopping in New York City?

Question

I am going to New York City this summer, and we are going to do shopping at various places including chinatown.

I was wondering what brands they have, please star the following brands if you have seen knockoff versions in NYC and/or Chinatown

Chanel
Dior
Juicy Couture
Coach
Dolce and Gabbana
Gucci
Fendi
Prada
Louis Vuitton

and could you give me some items they have in each of these brands, like handbags, watches, earrings, necklaces, wallets, wristlets, scarves, shoes, etc.

and then just a general price range of these items in chinatown

THANK you very much!
I am asking just because I want a general idea of how much money to bring.

Answer 1

Be very careful shopping in Chinatown there are under-cover cops looking for people purchasing the illegal replica bags.

Imagine how you would feel if you designed bags that cost thousands of dollars and everyone could by replicas for less money.

When you come to NYC bring ALL of your money, every penny, as it will be gone before it's time for you to get back on the plane. NYC is a "cash-eating," machine.

It will take your money and leave you wonder "what happened?" Double or triple the money you planned to bring.

Answer 2

Virtually anything you can find on 5th Avenue (all of the above) can be found in Chinatown or simply on the streets!
In Chinatown, if you have pics - many street sellers can accommodate you with the actual things you are looking for.
Be cautious of going in back rooms - never do this alone - the more people you are with the better! Never pay first price - don't flash much cash either. All of the above can be found - prices vary. Better 'copies' are pricier but many can be found for $10 (and up!).
Enjoy!

Seconding that Herald Square H&M! Also, there is a great Forever 21 on 568 Broadway and another pretty nice one on 50 West 34th St... There's also a MASSIVE Herald Square Macy*s, between 34th and 35th on Broadway with another entrance 7th Ave and 34th St.
