I love Louis Vuitton, and not just for its stylish collection of pricey handbags. The luxury brand's stab at shutting down Canal Street in Manhattan is the reason for my recent adoration.
Unfortunately, though, Louis Vuitton is not literally closing the New York City street known for sellers of counterfeit goods that range from jewelry to perfume to music. But, it has partnered with Estée Lauder to fund "Knowledge is Change," a counterfeit awareness program that explains how poser products are fueled by crime networks.
Although you won't me see me passing out campaign buttons and T-shirts at the program's April 10 event, which is described on the Fashion Week Daily Web site, I'm devoted to the cause.
I detest fake goods. It's certainly not because I'm raking in the big bucks and can afford high-end spending sprees. I simply find it a bit pretentious to crave a brand label to the point where you're willing to pay upwards of $100 for an imposter that will probably fall apart before the season is over.
And I'm not encouraging consumers to line the deep pockets of luxury goods brands either. I'm just asking them to "keep it real" and buy brands in their personal price range. For e-tailers with "Tiffany-styled" and "Bulgari-inspired" jewelry, try getting a wholesale account with a genuine designer or manufacturer.
Say no to committing a crime, funding terrorist acts or being caught with a "Carteire" watch instead of a "Cartier."
