Can someone help me find the legalities of this please?
Can a charity shop sell counterfeit goods if they do not claim them to be genuine?
So: fake Mulberry handbag, priced at £4.50. (So obviously fake!)
Manager is aware it's counterfeit but claims that because on the label they don't call it either a genuine Mulberry or a fake Mulberry, just Bag, then they can sell it. She says because they don't say it's Mulberry- but there's a whopping great metal disc on the front that says Mulberry on it!
(It was a very good fake btw, I had to google the serial number to determine it. It's a common fake serial number apparently...)
I raised it with her and she gave me a mouthful of abuse which has left me rattled, but I'm right, right? Selling anything counterfeit knowingly is illegal?
