Fakes Online: Hermes Clic Clac Bracelets
The internet has made the distribution of counterfeits a whole lot worse. Not only has it increased the accessibility of fakes, replicas are being sold as the authentic versions for large amounts of money. Using the popular Hermes clic clac bracelet as an example, see how bad the problem has become.
We took a random sampling of sold Hermes clic clac bracelets from another marketplace. Based on the listing's pictures, we marked all of the listings we knew to be of counterfeit bracelets. Authentic and undetermined listings due to blurry images or lack of required pictures were left unmarked.
Many of these replicas used to sell for $20 on some shady street corner. But now, most of them command for more than 10 times the price! But, what's even more surprising than the price is just how many of them are out there for sale!
