What fake stuff to buy in Turkey?

We booked to go to Turkey over half term ages ago and now it’s getting closer!

we’ve never been before but I quite like the look of going to some of the markets and haggling (not sure I’ll be very good at that though!)

is the fake stuff all really bad quality or is there anything worth keeping my eye out for? I’d quite like a handbag and a watch.

Why would you openly say you want to buy fakes? It’s morally reprehensible and funds criminals, sweatshops and no doubt some slave labour. It’s nothing anyone should ever set out to do.

Fully agree with this, plus you can tell the ones wearing fakes a mile off. Just don’t.

Must be devastating to not be able to face the fact that being able to splurge thousands on a bag doesn't buy you the ability to feel better than everyone else, but it's the truth.

The truth is that buying Fake bags is tacky, pointless and supports crime.
The fact I don’t buy things that support crime makes me feel better about myself rather than what brand my handbag is

you’re gonna have such a good time! some of the market stuff can be hit or miss, but you might find a few gems. if nothing clicks, i’ve had luck with hypereptime for bags and watches, quality’s been solid so far. worth keeping in mind!
