Dozens of fake designer purse vendors selling knock-offs to Midtown holiday shoppers
The streets of New York are going to hell in a fake Prada handbasket.
The bogus bag sellers appear to have increased in recent weeks, clogging the sidewalk with lines of deal-hunters — often right under the noses of police officers, who are stationed nearby for crowd control. Classic brown Louis Vuitton Neverfull Totes, which cost $2,100 in stores, were going for $70 a pop. And Cassandre Saint Laurent Matelasse chain wallets, which cost $1,790, were $40.One vendor said the two-block strip is a hotspot for targeting tourists during the busy shopping season, while another was seen scrambling to hide merchandise as a police officer walked by.
