Brand-conscious, but faking it
KOLKATA: Sambit Chatterjee was wondering what to gift his girlfriend this Valentine’s Day. The second-year college student wanted to impress her with a gift that looked classy but suited his pocket. Sambit’s quest ended on Esplanade pavements when he found a Tommy Hilfiger watch for Rs 1,500! Of course Sambit knew it was fake. But the vendor at the Grand Arcade insisted all watches were ‘original’ and the price was low because they were smuggled into Kidderpore dock. “The only difference is you will not get a warranty certificate,” the vendor explained. The vendor quoted Rs 2,500 but settled for Rs 1,500 after a bout of bargaining.
