Closing Pipeline to Needy, City Shreds Clothes
13.01.10
Last summer, the Police Department rented an industrial shredder to destroy a dozen tractor-trailer loads of bootleg goods after they were no longer needed as evidence in legal proceedings. It also has been shipping truckloads of garments to an incinerator in Hempstead, on Long Island, where the city pays about $150 a ton to burn them. The lost clothing includes winter jackets, shirts, pants and underwear.
“All the disposal is done under the supervision of law enforcement,” said Kathy Dawkins, a spokeswoman for the city’s Department of Sanitation. “It is called a witnessed burn.”
Until last April, the city had turned over some of the seized goods to not-for-profit organizations, including World Vision and the New York City Clothing Bank , which removed labels and defaced the counterfeit trademarks, then distributed the clothing to aid groups across the city.
A spokesman for the Police Department said that no one asked for the knockoffs in 2009 — an explanation that was bewildering to the operators of the clothing bank, who run a warehouse that supplies clothing to needy New Yorkers. They said they had made many requests.

Should i buy fake or authentic designer handbags?
Dec 15, 2009 by Stephanie | Posted in Fashion & Accessories
I have to earn my money. So i was wondering would u buy fake or authentic designer handbags? Cause i think people cherish their authentic designer handbags instead of the fake ones. But the authentic handbags are so expensive especially louis vuitton is the one i am looking foward to buying. The fake handbags look exactly the same but im just worried people can spot the difference and i wouldnt want to have a useless fake designer handbag but authentic handbags are so expensive. So should i buy fake or authentic designer handbags?
These people are mean lord have mercy
damn... yo that was harsh
I have been on both sides of this, but in my case, it was with Coach, which is significantly less expensive than Louis.
I've only owned a couple of fake bags, one was Coach. The quality of the bags were totally different. After I started buying authentic Coach bags, I don't think I'd buy a fake again. I think it's better to just save up your money for one classic, good sized designer bag that you know you will use often. It will feel good to treat yourself, and you'll know it's quality.
Go for the authentic. It's not a matter of what people will think; I can tell you from experience than it's fun to splurge every once and a while, and a bag is a good thing to splurge on, because you use it often. It's not like you're buying a shirt that you'll only wear once every several weeks. The purse, you'll use every day and get your money's worth out of it. Why not make an investment?
Edit: After reading other answers, I want to add: It does not make you shallow or some kind of idol-worshipper to want an LV bag. You work hard for your money, and it's okay to have a little fun with it. And you can't take it with you, right? As long as you don't obsess over the material things, there's nothing wrong with carrying a nice bag.

I can’t decide which I like more, Jimmy Choo handbags that are out there, bold and make a statement or those that are more classic and versatile. The fact of the matter is, I like them both but I can’t just figure out if I lean more towards one or the other. Well, today, I am leaning towards a classic Jimmy Choo handbag
