We never rock fakes at Gomatta Girls. Why would we when we get the real goods at such amazing discounts? But we are always amused by some of the absurd knock offs we see. Luckily, we trained Sal and the boys well, and they don’t even look at the constant stream of silly designer wannnabes that is always parading by them at the docks. London, fashion blog Hapsical just posted some shots from a market in Tunsia that are down right hilarious. How much would you pay for a Hugu Boos top? A Girgio Armwni suit? Um… PASS. We are a little tempted by that Gucci basketball though…

elow30 OMG!! I am dying!! Cucci shoes....Priceless!
These fakes are being brought to this country and funded by terrorist sects, gangs and just really bad people. They have 5 year old children, men and women in third world countries working for ten cents an hour!!!
Stay away from even the greatest fake on the planet. You may think we don't know, but we do! The linings, the suppleness and the actual build are all a tell tale sign that you may be carrying a FAKE! Just don't do it! I was in NYC a few days ago and walked past a street vendor in the middle of the fasion dis who promised me that he can provide me with the BEST knock off version of Birkins. He kept trying to lure me over to his trunk (whether to push me in and chop me up later, dunno) to show me his wares. I didn't budge! I saw a documentary on HBO that showed forgeries lessons a-z and I was just taken back! Who would have known that something as harmless as a bag, wallet, shoes, etc would start off in such a dark world! I chose not to be part of that!
Watch that documentary if you ever see it! It will BLOW your mine! You may wanna slap the guy who is pushing the fakes, SERIOUSLY!

ps At a local flea market by where I live, the FBI came in one day and swept the whole place (HUGE) for fakes and shut down so many boths that I thought my fav flea market was now a ghost town! They were confiscating purchases as well! They did give the customer a voucher to receive their money back, but I wouldn't want the FBI knowing I bought an illegal item! It was absolute pandemonium! At the end and on the front page of my daily Sunday paper was a caption "millions of dollars of counterfeit items and illegal DVD's were confiscated as part of an FBI's ongoing investigation into trafficking forgeries". BOY O BOY!
elow30 Hey my Goma's
This just in....A MAJOR sample sale site that I cannot name was named by a customer for an item being purchased/sent that was not authentic. It was a handbag!
The thing is....This site gets so much press that it is sickening! It is all over priced couture like stuff! Not the items I find practical, like my Gomatta Gear, as I go to the mailbox or to PTA meetings in (floor length Donna Karan, Mishka Gowns, Lutz & Patmos, Louie and the names go on.)
Just want all of you to know that BEWARE! Even the big named sites have flaws and are maybe putting a product that would fail most QC standards that is high priority in on-line retail sites!
One last thing...Not one item that I have received from my Gomatta Girls has been fake. Have always been of great quality. If I do return an item, it is due to the fit, not the quality or the absolutely adorable/chic design of the clothing but because so many designers will size an item a medium (8-10) in which in the real world is a 4-6!
The population has grown in size but they still size things to make you feel bad about the extra pounds you put on during the holidays! Not dissin my Gomatta Girls!
I know that everyone on this site is helpful (yes, the die hard Gomatta Gals)and post how the item is sized and I thank you for doing so, as I will do for YOU! I sound like a preacher, mom would be proud, LOL!
