Shanghai’s Xiangyang Road Fashion and Gift Market is going the way of the Dodo. Known as the place to score luxury knockoffs like the Louis Vuitton bags, North “Fake” gear, cds and dvds, the market is being wiped out as part of the Shanghai goverment’s plan to redevelop the area.

I personally don’t understand why anyone would want the knockoffs. I mean, isn’t obvious it’s a fake? Why do people want a fake? What’s even more strange is that the owners know they’re fakes. Actually, what’s more mind boggling is that in a country known worldwide for knockoffs, this market is particularly famous for selling fakes. I wonder how this place came to score such a distinction.
