DISQUS

Keith Mcglew · 2 years ago

An interesting ploy on behalf of the fashion designers and it will surly grow, but, and here's the reality. Who is the blogger, and what are their motives for pushing (marketing) such items.

Lets look at the explosion of counterfeit goods available on the web, just go to any eBay web site around the globe and you can be ripped off within a blink of the cursor. eBay promotes such activity, why because they get paid for supporting the counterfeit trade in the shape of fee's, a good scam if you can get in on it.

Now a whole industry has sprung up around eBay's fraud support business, take the web site mypoupette.com, they are here to "authenticate" designer goods, and as a potential scammer if you pay Angie Houston she will add you as a recommended retailer.

A quick scan down the list of her trusted retailers looks promising, but once you start to delve deeper you can find out quite a few of these so called "trusted retailers" are domiciled in either China or Taiwan.

How can someone such as Angie Houston recommend retailers as authentic when she never ever touches the merchandise with her spiteful greedy talons, yet her web spin claims she is the self appointed Internet consumer advocate, the only thing she or her dubious peers advocate is a quick buck to deposit in the bank. (yes I did say buck).

The best interactive media is becoming blogs. Which is essential for democracy in all areas including fashion.

I agree. Blogging is definitely the newest marketing tool in town.

It's mindblowing to think about the potential of blogs, or what blogging will be like 5-10 years from now.

Great blog btw, more power!!!

That's interesting. There's this website, www.Innanyc.com that has handmade high end bags based out of NY and they will custom make your bag to suit your taste. Why not having your one of a kind? Have a great day!
