The Counterfeit Circle Complete.

Anya Hindmarch's Whole Foods bag is now on Canal Street.

Remember my stumbling upon the wraparound line at Whole Foods on Houston Street? If not, see my 365 days blog. The line wrapped around the block and people (mostly Chinese) camped overnight, in the cold rain, to buy the bag. I called it the "birth" of a counterfeit.

Now, the circle is complete. On a recent visit to Canal Street, the copied bag figured prominently among the others.
