We don't mess with counterfeiting!
Celine, Kelly, Birkin? More than simple first names, their mere evocation inspires us with harmonious contours, a silky touch, a smell of leather. In short, the perfect handbag. And I will say even more. She is the friend who will accompany you in your adventures, from morning to evening and sometimes even from evening to morning.
So yes, this friend there must be reliable, solid, resistant to the test of life (and your life above all). Never fail, age beautifully, be your partner for better or for worse. We ask a lot of him but we do not doubt his qualities for a single moment?
And yet? As in friendship, we can make bad choices or be deceived. And the return to reality can hurt. At the risk of repeating myself (but we can never say it enough): we don't mess with counterfeiting!
Counterfeiting, a global scourge
"It's the crisis", we know it only too well, we have been told it again, we are even surprised to use this formula which has unfortunately become too frequent in conversations. In times of crisis, two diametrically opposed sectors hold their own: second-hand luxury and counterfeiting.
One undeniably depends on the other, we let you guess which one?
France is particularly exposed to this scourge because of its world-renowned luxury houses. According to figures from the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Industry, counterfeiting represents an annual cost of 7 billion euros for the French economy. A significant shortfall.
The counterfeiting of luxury goods concerns the international market. China of course, which alone represents 95% of the world production of counterfeits. Some Eastern and Central European countries as well as the United States and Turkey complete the picture. Africa, victim and actor, plays a dual role of exporter and importer of counterfeits.
