Its only illegal if you claim the items are the genuine thing. That is sale by fraud. It may also be illegal if the items have the trademark symbols of the real ones on them. If you say they are knock-offs, and they dont have the trademarked logo on them (most legal fakes have something only slighty different) then its probably not illegal to sell them, although you wont get even close to what the real ones sell for.

Define knock off, if the item looks like another item, then selling it is not illegal. if the item has a label that says it is the item it is not, or has a logo that is copyrighted, so that it is in fact a counterfeit then it is illegal to traffic in the item. It doesn't matter if it is purses or sunglasses or a blouse.

Illegal to sell or buy.
By the way - any woman who knows her Vuitton can spot a knockoff. Just in case you were planning to buy for a significant other ;o)

Yes, it's illegal and you could get in trouble for owning counterfeit goods
