Is the quality of branded items different abroad and here? (Using the example of Levi's, Nike, Columbia)

Do our compatriots and people living abroad receive things of the same quality? In most cases, it seems that everything is better abroad. But is this really so? You will get the answer using examples of products from well-known brands from this article.

Levi's is the same for everyone

Levi's is considered luxury only in our country. Don't overestimate its quality. Europeans also love the brand, but not to such an extent. It is impossible to say that the products selected for Russians are worse than for their own people. Nevertheless, counterfeits may occur in the Russian Federation. To avoid getting into trouble, you should pay attention to denim.

1. It must be original, French, exactly the same as in the 19th century.
2. The fabric is durable, soft, high density.
3. As for the seams, they must be of super high quality.
4. Threads are reliable, cotton.
5. Another distinctive feature of a good quality product is the tab. This is a flag sewn into the seam.It should be red, but if the jeans are black, it should be white, and the inscription should be green.

What a clasp! Only bolts, there can be no lightning.

Which one comes to Russia Columbia

Columbia also sews the same for everyone. But in our country there are many fakes. To avoid buying a fake, you should know that the goods are made in Vietnam, Thailand, China, Taiwan and Sri Lanka. A Chinese jacket can also be branded! In this case, again, you should pay attention to the quality of the seams and material.

What is Nike like?

A large manufacturer simply cannot afford to sew differently for people. However, it suffers from counterfeits. Demand creates supply. Shoes are especially often counterfeited. Low-quality sneakers, supposedly from Nike, are uncomfortable to walk in, and their service life is short. In the production of high-quality shoes and clothing, only reliable and proven materials are used. They must meet the requirements placed on them. They are sewn using high-quality equipment.

The easiest way is to purchase products from official clothing suppliers. Then with a high degree of probability you will receive the original.

At the same time, a quality item cannot be cheap. The seams should be even, made from threads of the same color. Real leather is soft, evenly colored.

It is interesting that well-known companies are counterfeited not only in Russia, but also abroad. Falsification is especially common among sports brands.

That is, all consumers are approximately equal, regardless of where they live. Everyone runs the risk of receiving a low-quality product, and to prevent this from happening, you should be able to distinguish the original from the fake.

Rospotrebnadzor is actively fighting counterfeit products. In 2018A massive inspection of products supplied from abroad was carried out. During it, many violations were revealed.

Well-known companies do not seek to deceive consumers, as they value their reputation. However, more and more underground companies are emerging that want to cash in on the big name. For low-quality goods, by court decision, foreign companies can receive a fine of up to 500 thousand rubles!
