Cartier

Remains of counterfeits seized by French customs are seen in the back of a special truck after their destruction on May 29, 2012 at the postal sorting center of Chilly Mazarin, near Paris. French luxury brands from Chanel to Vuitton on May 30, 2012 launch a campaign with several European countries to fight back against the increasingly lucrative and damaging flood of counterfeit goods. The Comite Colbert, grouping 75 French luxury goods makers including Dior, Cartier and Remy Martin, is launching a poster campaign in French airports ahead of the summer to dissuade travellers from buying fakes. As home to many of the world's best known luxury brands, France is particularly exposed. Fake goods cost the economy 30,000 jobs and six billion euros in lost revenues every year, according to the Comite Colbert. Clothes, sunglasses, perfume, cosmetics, leather goods, half the 8.9 million counterfeit articles seized in France in 2011 were luxury goods, with Louis Vuitton products the most copied.
