Every Fashion Girl Should Know the Harmful Effects of the Gray Market


I know what you’re thinking (and many consumer advocacy groups agree): luxury brands are swimming in money, why should we care if they lose a little money? Not to mention the fact that we all love a good deal. But the first point isn’t entirely true, nor does the sale of these goods only affect the higher-ups at a company.

For starters, luxury sales have actually taken a hit as of late, as Business of Fashion has pointed out.
