Fake Gucci

Just a piece of useless (but entertaining) news bit for you while you’re on your coffee break. A man in Switzerland faked this 2 page Gucci perfume ad and booked it with the Swiss weekly paper SonntagsZeitung. The best part of the story is that the $50,000 ad was billed to Gucci! As if Gucci’s lawyers aren’t up to their eyeballs trying to catch bag counterfeiters, they now have fame craving weirdos to go after. And I’m sure they appreciate us republishing this, too.

  1. I admire this guy! he’s quite innovative in terms of way to attain fame (other than joining one of the millions reality shows)…and he’s professional enough to make an ad that can confuse the publisher….

  2. Hi Tina, Kelly,

    I’m a huge fan of your websites! I’m going to Italy (Tuscany) soon and I really wanted to buy a Nuti bag, I love the ostrich bag that you featured. Can you tell me where in (hopefully Milan or Florence)Italy I can find Nuti products or a store?

    Thank you so much!
