Thai Police Arrest a Cambodian Vendor for Selling Counterfeit Shoes

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

... but how fake are they if the company produced originals the year prior?
The used material for the "copies" will be less expensive, the structure will be different with less components, quality control on finished goods will be non existant (no guarantee shoe last 3weeks only, glue comes off, stiching breaks, etc). This lowers the production costs and counterfeit can be sold (with no marketing costs) at much less than the original.

The gross profit for "brands" (retail price minus production costs only) is extreme in some businesses (especially fashion business) where a 2 dollar sourced item sometimes retails for 200 (i.e. silk ties). CRAZY..but there are folks out there willing to pay.
work is for people who cant find truffles
