The photo is without a doubt deceptive. I initally thought it's meant for those pea-brained Asians & Southeast Asians when I first saw it in Ming Pao in Hong Kong. You know the satisfaction could be huge when rich Asians, esp. those who only know gold Rolex is the way to go, daydream about pretty white women stitching away in France to make their handbags by hand. And the prestige that's associated with the brand name.

They probably would have charged it 100 times more if the bags were actually made that way.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. But I do want to point out that the English could be just as much a bunch of deceitful bloody-minded gobshites as anyone when they want to (though perhaps with a tad more class and finesse than others).
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I like this line: "Copyrights belong to its rightful owner." Shall steal it for whenever I steal others' pics for illustration on my blog (and it's a question of when, not if, I'm not holier-than-thou on this at all). Much easier than tracing photo credits!
Sometimes I do find the double standard pretty hard to swallow. Plenty of bloggers would use whatever pictures they find on the web: electronic newspapers or otherwise for their own silly illustrations without giving attribution yet they would cry bloody murder if their own silly pictures were used in the newspapers without attribution. I think it should really go both ways.
