REVIEWS OF HOTEL EXECUTIVE CLUB LOUNGES, KIDS CLUBS AND MORE.
Toronto is Canada’s biggest and busiest city. People come here all the time to visit the CN Tower, enjoy the food, and of course, go shopping. Now, not everyone who loves fashion can afford real designer items. A real Louis Vuitton bag or Gucci belt can cost thousands of dollars.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the same look. In Toronto, there are places where you can find replica or fake designer goods that look very close to the real item, but cost way less. These items are not original, but they are popular because they give people that stylish feel without the high price tag. And many shoppers don’t mind, especially when the quality is decent and the price is right.
So, where do you find these fake markets in Toronto? You won’t see big signs saying “Fake Market Here!”, but if you know where to go, you will get what you are looking for. Here are some of the best spots in Toronto for finding fake designer goods, cheap lookalikes, and stylish deals.
Located in Markham, just outside Toronto, Pacific Mall is one of the largest Asian indoor shopping malls in North America. It has over 400 shops inside, most of which are run by Chinese and other Asian vendors.
While the mall is popular for electronics and phone accessories, many people come here looking for fake designer goods. You can find bags, watches, and even streetwear that looks just like those of the big brands like Louis Vuitton or Chanel, Rolex or Cartier, and Supreme or Off-White.
Some stalls display the fakes openly, while others keep them hidden and only show you if you ask. The quality varies, with some items being obviously fake and others looking very similar to the real products.
A short drive from Toronto, Dixie Outlet Mall is located in Mississauga and is known for discount shopping. It is one of the oldest outlet malls in the area and has a good number of independent stores alongside brand-name outlets.
While most of the mall is legit, there are a few smaller shops inside that sell replica goods, especially in the accessories and fashion sections. This includes sunglasses that resemble Ray-Bans, belts with “familiar” logos, or handbags with designs similar to luxury brands.
These stores don’t advertise the items as fake, but they are easy to spot if you know your brands.
Toronto’s Chinatown along Spadina Avenue is full of restaurants, souvenir shops, gift stores, and bargain-priced goods. Among the street vendors and discount shops, you can often find fake designer accessories, especially sunglasses, watches, and handbags.
You will have to dig a bit, but many vendors offer products with logos or designs that clearly copy popular brands. It is also a great place to just walk around, enjoy the street food, and soak in the positive energy.
In Toronto, there are numerous shopping options to suit every need and budget. While you won’t find huge open-air fake markets, there are still many places to find great lookalike items.
Whether you are shopping in the busy halls of Pacific Mall or the lively streets of Chinatown, there is always a chance to come across great deals for the designer look you want without the hefty designer price.
