Fake vs Real: The designer controversy

from The Swanston Explainer · host The Swanston Explainer

Early this year, Tik Tok went crazy over fake Birkin’s being sold at popular chain, Walmart. Many were stunned over its almost identical look to the real deal, others weren’t too impressed arguing that this affects the status of a bag that can retail up to 6 figures.In this podcast, we explore how a Birkin knock-off has led to the divide between social classes and the culture behind the bag. We also explore the ethics behind fake designer items.Host: Deanna LotestoReporter: Julia HuntSeries Producer: Rex ChardExecutive Producers: Kate Arnott and Janak Rogers
