Globally, counterfeiting accounts for more than 3% of international trade, with luxury goods as a primary target. The allure of a designer bag combined with seemingly competitive pricing makes many unsuspecting buyers vulnerable. But is it only about the loss of this tangible item?

The damage goes deeper, affecting brand reputation, consumer trust, and even ethical manufacturing. Companies invest heavily in anti-counterfeit measures, such as RFID tags and blockchain technology, to protect their integrity. But these solutions come with their own demands and complexities.

The more the counterfeiters innovate, the harder the fight becomes for luxury brands. The ripple effects could transform how brands operate and how consumers perceive authenticity. Would you still value a bag defined by the brand name alone if counterfeit quality becomes indistinguishable? The answer awaits you.
