At least one company’s so annoyed with getting knocked off that they’re taking serious anti-counterfeiting measures -
Rather than relying on police cracking down on fakes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Loro Piana’s decided to make their goods un-fakeable.
They’ve created their own metal ring bearing the Loro Piana logo that’ll be sewn into each of their cashmere products. The rings will be engraved with an identifying serial number that can be used to trace the origins of each product,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], down to which piece of fabric it was cut from and which batch of yarn was used to weave its raw fiber.
We think their initiative is great,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even though we think it would be fairly easy for a counterfeiter to just throw any old number onto a metal ring to make the scarf appear genuine at first glance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but then again,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], maybe the process would just be too expensive to make the fakes worth it.
(In other counterfeit news,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we hear Forever 21 is about to be embroiled in a huge fake-related battle – a tipster says an LA lawyer is “representing a handful of names bringing some big suits against them” – care to take some guesses?)
