Richard Petty The King Flea Shirt . One of the world’s largest covered markets, the almost six-centuries-old Grand Bazaar attracts millions of tourists every year — many of them lured by the promise of cheap luxury.”All of Europe comes here! I’ve even had footballer’s wives,” beamed 36-year-old Kemal, reluctant to give his surname for fear of checks on his merchandise.Kemal made his living selling “made in Turkey” counterfeits for 15 years, before luxury fakes began taking over each of the bazaar’s hallowed shop windows one by one.His imitation Celine calfskin and Saint Laurent quilted leather handbags “are of the same quality as the originals, but five to 10 times cheaper”, the vendor promised.Whatever the bag, a knock-off can be found at the Grand Bazaar. “If you can find it on the Champs-Elysees, then you can find it here,” he said.As one of the main countries for the production and transit of counterfeit goods, along with China and Hong Kong, knock-offs are ubiquitous in Turkey. The trade supports a whole economy of its own, from the small retailers to the manufacturers who also export their counterfeits to the European Union.”They make very high profits. You can see handbags being sold for thousands of dollars in the Grand Bazaar,” said Dilara Bural, a criminologist at the UK’s University of Bath.Organised crime may be at work, “but we can’t generalise and say that every single counterfeiting scheme in Turkey is linked to organised crime. That’s not true,” she underlined.For Bural, the trade is enabled by a “widespread cultural acceptance of counterfeiting” in Turkey which “in some cases extends to key enforcers, including the police and the judiciary”.Turkish law firms hired by the luxury behemoths are trying to clamp down on the counterfeiters, but that task is easier said than done.”The problem is that you need to get search warrants for every address. There are thousands of shops in the Grand Bazaar so you need to get thousands of seizure orders,” lawyer Sena Yasaroglu told AFP.He said that even with 20 people dealing with intellectual property cases at the Moroglu Arseven law firm where he works, the challenge was formidable. A spokesman for the Grand Bazaar’s board of directors insisted that “the Istanbul police carry out frequent inspections” on the shops.Standing in front of his miniscule shop of 2.5 square metres (three square yards), which he rents for 1,000 dollars a month, Murat said he worries about the inspections “every day”.In 2018, he and his brother saw the police swoop in on their business. The bill was hefty: 800 fake bags seized and 40,000 euros (43,500 dollars) in fines and legal fees.Yet the 27-year-old shopkeeper from the southeastern agricultural province of Sanliurfa resumed trading straight away.
