Also, the hilarity of those knock offs from Coco Boutique. She’s sooo keen to show us that she has tea Guccis.
Imagine paying that amount - up to €250 for the faux Princetowns... like that is just far too much to pay for knockoffs.
I’ve no issues with items that are designer inspired, you see Gucci inspired loafers everywhere from Zara, M&S, Dune etc but they’re always slightly different to stay on the right side of infringing on Gucci’s trademarks by having the hardware slightly different etc. Also you can get real leather from those retailers starting around €50/60.
I’m all for supporting Irish business, there’s some great Irish design and ingenuity out there, but “businesses” selling overpriced knockoffs are no great loss.
