KNOCKOFF

An authentic handbag or fashion accessory is the original, designed and manufactured by the designer name on the name tag. Many of the high fashion designers will include authenticity cards with the handbag, or will have a serial number located on the inside of the handbag. In recent years, some designer handbags have a small hologram attached to the interior to mark it as an authentic design. Imitations of handbags and other accessories are copied and made to look almost like the original, and can even have the designers name on them. These imitations are called "fakes", "knockoffs", or "replicas". They are not made with the same quality craftsmanship and materials as the authentic, and are often manufactured in 3rd world countries using cheap factory labor. It should be noted that the manufacture and sale of knockoff handbags is a violation of copyright law.
