EVERYBODY loves a bargain, but some are willing to go the extra mile for a great deal \u2013 literally.<\/p>\n
Rather than taking a trip to her local Primark<\/span>, one influencer flew to over 8 hours to visit the largest dupe store in the world \u2013 and found \u2018Cartier\u2019 rings for under \u00a32.<\/p>\n After exploring other parts of Thailand with her friends, influencer Eloise Fouladgar was keen to take in Bangkor\u2019s famous MBK Center.<\/p>\n Welcoming over 150,000 tourists a day, you can find virtually anything at this shopping centre – including countless counterfeit products. \u00a0<\/p>\n Though they are virtually identical to the high-end version,the goods can cost just a fraction of their true retail price.<\/p>\n In fact, the Tiktok<\/span> star was shocked about what was on offer as she explore the tourist attraction\u2019s multiple floors.<\/p>\n \u201cThey even have those famous Prada sunglasses,\u201d she gushed, as her friend tried the fakes sunnies – which were on sale for \u00a32.<\/p>\n Eventually, they stumbled into the jewellery section finding fake Van Cleef necklaces and even Cartier rings.<\/p>\n Comparing the real ring to the dupe, Eloise noticed it even had the same iconic screw detail as the gold bands in Bond Street.<\/p>\n However, the Thai version didn\u2019t have the \u00a3990 price tag. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n In fact, one vendor was selling the fake Love Bands for just \u00a31.50.<\/p>\n Walking through the seven stories of the shopping center, Eloise found hundred of realistic dupes for Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton and Gucci handbags.<\/p>\n Not every counterfeit was quite so convincing though, with Eloise struggling not to laugh at some of the off-brand perfumes.<\/p>\n Shelves were crammed with bottles of \u2018Coco\u2019 instead of Coco Mademoiselle, with plenty of other \u2018Chanel\u2019 scents also on offer.<\/p>\n There was also something for the boys, with the influencer pointing out the misspelled Dior dupes to her 4.7 million fans.<\/p>\n Some fakes might not be this easy to find<\/p>\n \u201c[Its] Singular instead of Sauvage,\u201d she paid point to the bottle, with the packaging also missing the Johnny Depp branding.<\/p>\n Though it\u2019s fun to visit these places as a tourist, there are potentially risks if you come away with a designer dupe.<\/p>\n Whilst you might get a Kylie Jenner lip for \u00a32, there is not guarantee that the pigments will be safe to use or provide the perfect pout you are after.<\/p>\n In fact, one teen was left struggling to breathe after a severe reaction to a dupe kit she\u2019d bought on Facebook. \u00a0<\/p>\n Even fake leather goods can cause issues, with fake designer handbags breaking or dye transferring on to clothes.<\/p>\n Thailand has also clamped down on counterfeits, with the country previously being responsible for 1.6 per cent of the world's fakes.<\/p>\n Those caught trading facing heavy fines or even four years in prison.<\/p>\n However, this didn\u2019t stop some of Eloise\u2019s followers still from wanting to bag a bargain.<\/p>\n One even joked: \u201cWhat\u2019s the place called? I\u2019m going to Thailand next<\/span> week.\u201d<\/p>\n We guess some people will risk anything for a good deal.<\/p>\n
