Someone sent me the following link, to a TV news story, about an AKC Judge. Thought it was interesting. Top of the line leather goods with designer names are not bought New - or factory seconds from China. They have their own outlet stores in which to sell them, if they even admit that there is a 'factory second.'
Has she never seen any of those TV Magazine shows about designer knock-offs?
But we need to remember that this is America, and she is innocent, until proven guilty. (lol)

A Fort Pierce businesswoman is in hot water, accused of selling fake products.
Janet Fay Birdsall, 46, of Fort Pierce, was released Thursday on bond.
Birdsall is accused of selling counterfeit products at her Orange Avenue store, Bling it.
Detectives executed a search warrant on Thursday and found dozens of items believed to be counterfeit.
WPBF 25 reporter Angela Rozier tried to speak with her Friday. "I need you to leave. OK? I need you to leave please," Birdsall said.
Independent experts helped officials determine that items said to be Michael Kors, Coach, Tory Burch, Gucci, Chanel, Van Cleef & Arpels and Sanrio were fake.
"She was marking the products as second-hand manufactures defective products when in essence they were actually counterfeit products," Lt. Brian Hester, with the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office, said.
"She said it came right out of the factory so that's the story. I was annoyed. I felt like I got hoodwinked pretty good," Jennifer Gulluni, a victim, said.
Birdsall was charged with possession of counterfeit merchandise over $2,500. (it was actually over $24,000.00)
"She appeared to be a honest person but if she's selling fake bags and telling us they are real, then I got a problem with that," said customer Brenda Williams.
