Kind of OT, but a few sisters and I bought faux Coach bags while in Manhattan several years ago. They are excellent fakes, right down to the serial numbers. The next year, I was again in Manhattan for a conference, carrying a faux Chanel bag (from the same shopping trip), and got into a fascinating conversation with a buyer for Neiman's about how the fake purses are made. She said that on one of her trips to SE Asia, she toured a Chanel factory and learned that many of the good-quality fakes are made in the same factories as the 'real' bags, with the same material, by the same workers, but they are made after hours on the workers' off time and then sent overseas to family members in this country to sell on the black market.
Anyway, my question was, has anyone ever tried to register a good-quality fake Coach? What would happen if you got caught? (Not that I would condone this, of course. I'm just curious.
)
