Fake Purses in NYC?

Question

I have been told by a lot of my friends that when they went to NYC that there was a lot of people selling fake purses. i want to know where they supposedly sell them at, i have heard china town, i have heard that they have actual stores that you can go in and they will make them in front of you just for you. here in Florida we have little places called flea markets, and that is where they sell them here. is that what what china town is like? and where is the best places to look for replica bags?

Answer 1

Yes, Chinatown is the home of the fake purses. Right along Canal Street, you'll find a lot of shops that sells, fake purses and bags. You can buy a fake Rolex watch.

Now, there is a word of warning, if you're going to Canal Street, make sure you have an entire day to yourself, because, since the sale fake items is illegal, and the cops dose crackdown and arrest vendors for this type of infraction, many vendors tend to move from one place to another just to stay a step ahead of the cops. So there will be plenty of walking involve, but most of them have a store front.

In the end you will be able to get the bag or purse you wanted, but a a bargain price, and that's even better than the ones on 5th Avenue, or the flea market.

I hope this information was very helpful, happy shopping.

It's a little tougher in the winter, but there are often people on the street selling them in the Times Square and Rockefeller Center area. Chinatown is a maze of small stores that will have the bags hanging on walls. You'll be able to see them from the sidewalk - most of the stores are less than 10 feet deep.

Answer 3

In China town you will find dozens of stores, street vendors, and just people walking down the street selling the fakes. You just need to walk down the main street of Chinatown and you'll run into them, or they'll run into you. Look at several places before you make your choice. The prices can vary a lot.

Answer 4

Last time I was in New York's Chinatown, they had some bags that were CLEARLY knock-offs in stores. But the better made knock offs (possibly even stolen items) were not in stores for public view. These are "hidden" in warehouse-type buildings. As you walk down the street, the people who want to sell these "better" purses will just walk up to you and ask if you want to go and see the bags. They'll say it kind of under their breath. If you agree, they'll have you follow them to the "warehouse" building which typically has no windows. Then you pay cash.
It's definitely a shady situation, but that's how I got my (possibly knock-off, possibly stolen) Coach bag!

Answer 5

During the winter, Chinatown would be your best bet. In warmer weather, people sell various things on street corners. The only problem with buying knockoffs is to make sure it doesn't smell. If they're selling them outside, sometimes to can't tell. My friend bought a knock off purse and after it sat in her hotel room for a couple hours, she realized it smelled like mildew.

Answer 6

Canal highway often has many shops with those distributors despite the fact that they have got began to crack down on those institutions. I used to get my fake Rolexes there in front of the save[ out on the line yet now I would desire to flow interior the save and ask in the event that they have any of their lower back room which they'll often take me to.

Answer 7

Chinatown. Prices there are also real cheap. After buying stop in a chinese restaurant on Mott or Elizabeth Streets. Best tasting chinese food you will ever eat.

Answer 8

almost every street corner in midtown has someone selling them although the better ones are sold on the lower east side and Chinatown
