I totally don’t care about brand. If clothes is soft, well design, comfortable, I have no idea why I need to choose brand?
Try to set up your own brand. haha:)

Hi Marc,
I agree, Silkmarket is boring after a while. However, in some Beijing markets you can find the real thing inbetween the fakes. Yashow and Jiayi Market have a few boutiques selling originals.
The original should be better quality. But some are in the market because they did not pass the quality control.
And I agree, they will not vanish as they are tourist attractions.

Greetings from Beijing

I think that showing at the fake markets is still a novelty that tourists and people new to China enjoy. Once you become an old China hand I think the markets lose their luster and authentic goods become much more appealing.

I used to enjoy the fakes, but now after a couple years I just don't enjoy them, but every time a friend comes to Shanghai they insist on buying a pile of fake goods.

I'd agree though, the quality has really gotten much better for all those fakes.

I expect that this is definitely not the end of fake clothing. Being very familiar with the Silk Market myself I have the feeling that the government is not trying to stop this industry by any means. It’s a great touristic attraction and everyone loves it, so why would they!
