Possible shortage of fake Louis Vuitton and Gucci bags in Chinatowns?

The next time you go to a Chinatown looking for a cheap knock-off version of a Louis Vuitton or a Gucci bag, you may not have a great selection. Police in Milan, Italy, just confiscated over 650,000 fake versions of those companies’ bags in a huge raid. Sorry, incredibly-vain-and-insecure-people-who-feel-like-they-have-to-have-the-most-expensive-looking-stuff-to-have-self-esteem, you may have to find another pretentious way to show how “rich” you are.

Wouldn’t it be ironic, though, if this raid led to a shortage of fake bags that actually caused the price of the fake bags to rise to around what the real ones cost? That would be poetic justice (or something like that).
