It all depends on what you are selling and how you are presenting it. If you sell a bag with a Gucci label on it, and it is not a real Gucci bag, that is illegal. You can sell a bag that looks similar to a Gucci bag and have a label on it like Guche or Gukki. The major labels scan websites/ebay looking for people selling knock-offs with their label on them. This is a copyright infringement, and is illegal. It is also against the law to sell a "Gushe/Gukki" bag and present it as a Gucci bag. This is fraud (a different crime) and is also against the law. However if you sell the replica bag AS a GUKKI/Gushe bag, then that is fine. The bag just needs to be slightly different.

Good explanation,
What if you call it second class products that did not pass the high quality check that the brands requires and that is why you sell them much cheaper.
Then you are telling the customers that they cant expect the same product as the original0

All the major labels have "factory irregular stores" where they send the products that did not pass inspection, but might be too nice for the trash pile. Calling it second class / irregular is fine as long as you are not selling it as a Gucci bag. If you have Gucci on the bag, and Gucci did not make it, you will get hit with a copyright lawsuit and have your product seized by the Feds.--Sad, but true. If you sell a product that is Gukki/Gushe, and market it as a Gukki bag--and that it is somewhat similar to a Gucci Bag, then that is fine, as long as the bag is noticeably different and is not sold AS a Gucci bag irregular or otherwise. Otherwise the Feds will be giving their wives Gukki Bags for Christmas

As I understand the brands go after the processors and not the vendors as the processors are letting this go on thru their systems.
Also maybe this is an easier approach to chase one part instead of hundred of different vendors0

The Brand manufacturers can ask the processor to stop processing for the replica vendor (if they can figure out who the processor is), every processor will oblige. Since the processor would then be facilitating a crime, if they didn't. From what I have seen the vendors and bag manufacturers are the ones the Brands seem to go after legally. The only industries that hit the processors directly are online gambling & online tobacco. These industries got hit specifically because of not paying taxes. The online tobacco guys got hit for not paying state taxes and a group of State Attorney Generals (led by Elliot Spitzer-the Call girl governor of NY)even went so far as to send out bills to the tobacco vendors customers for back taxes for their online purchases. The online gambling thing is a crime too, (once again because the government has a hard time collecting taxes on them).
