What to choose - things from the mass market or a fake brand? Let's try to understand the issue by studying it from different angles.
Pros and cons of mass market
Not everyone can afford to buy an original. There is a way out by purchasing a fake. People will naturally start paying attention to you, thinking that this is a brand, but only if the item is of high quality.
Gilyarovsky also wrote that pre-revolutionary Moscow merchants in their relations with customers adhered to the principle “if you don’t deceive, you don’t sell.” Later, during times of total shortages, the fraudulent behavior of Soviet trade workers became the talk of the town. In recent years, the problem has become less acute: having a certain amount of rubles or dollars, it was not difficult to buy high-quality imported goods.
But not all people live well, and therefore, not everyone can afford brands.The continuous rise in prices and, as a consequence, a decrease in purchasing power have led to the emergence of demand for cheap, usually counterfeit, foreign products. The offer did not take long to arrive.
Most counterfeit goods enter Russia from Southeast Asian countries. The scammers there, apparently embarrassed to violate international law too clearly, prefer to slightly change the spelling of world-famous trademarks. Pirates pay special attention to sporting goods.
Clothing markets throughout Russia are flooded with T-shirts, sneakers, and hats with labels:
- Adidas,
- Adadis,
- Adidac,
- Daibass (implying Adidas).
The same unenviable fate befell Reebok (Reabok and Reebak). But Nike was lucky. Perhaps only four letters in its name do not allow the imagination of counterfeiters to fully develop. For some reason, variations on the theme of the names of other famous sports companies are almost never found.
Is it worth buying such products? The issue is controversial. It should be noted right away that fakes can be both successful and unsuccessful. In order not to make a mistake, you should spend time checking the quality of the products. Sometimes you come across quite good options.

So, there is one way out. If you want to look stylish, but “finances sing romances,” you can easily dress in the mass market. However, such clothes cannot remain in proper condition for a long time.
If you have a little more money, you can easily get dressed by buying counterfeit brands. The main thing is to give preference to basic things. This will allow you to save money and feel at your best.
