His name is Zhang Chen. He has founded, in Peking, the Extraordinary Luxuries Business School. And he organizes very special course, teaching to unmask the most sophisticated counterfeiting of luxury accessories in one week<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Some could almost think that it is a paradox. And, in some way, they could even be right. In the end, when we talk about counterfeiting<\/strong>, raise your hand if you do not think immediately about\u00a0China,<\/strong>\u00a0as an industrial tank for the production of any type of fakes. Unexpectedly, the news of the launch of a course to\u00a0unmask luxury fakes<\/strong> is coming straight from Peking. This professionality is not new for sure, considering the need for the flourishing channel of second-hand to examine each accessory they resell. A job that, in this case, apparently is making the leap in quality.<\/p>\n

Unmasking luxury fakes<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The name of the promoter of this course is Zhang Chen, <\/strong>he is the founder of the\u00a0Extraordinary Luxuries Business School<\/strong>\u00a0of Peking. The course lasts one week, it costs about\u00a02,400 USD<\/strong>\u00a0and, at its start, it attracted a quite transversal public of students. Common denominator: the perspective to meet a requirement that, in a very near future and for much time, can only be growing and, therefore, quite profitable. Zhang\u2019s first lessons, so, were attended by a financial consultant looking for new perspectives, by a journalist, previously a director at a fashion magazine, and by a forger looking for (legal) redemption. They all were keen on learning techniques that Zhang manages in a very efficient way, as it seems.<\/p>\n

Japanese apprenticeship<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Zhang has told some Asian magazines, such as The Japan Times<\/a>, that he learned to evaluate luxury goods 10 years ago, in\u00a0Japan<\/strong>. Not only: he declared that he only needs\u00a010 seconds,<\/strong>\u00a0at most, to understand if a product is real or faked. He can do that even watching a simple picture.<\/p>\n

Chinese lesson <\/strong><\/h4>\n

During his lessons, Zhang takes especially watches and small leather goods into consideration. He goes into details<\/strong> that are easily missed by consumers, dazzled by the brand\u2019s name. For instance: the colour of the lining of\u00a0Chanel<\/strong>\u2019s black bags\u00a0(\u201cWhich must be pink\u201d). Furthermore, knowing\u00a0which letters<\/strong>\u00a0in Chanel\u2019s logo come in a rectangular or a square character could allow to \u201cdiscover one third of the fakes on the market\u201d. Little examples of a job requiring daily upgrades, Zhang says, because \u201cthe market of identification of luxury products will always exist, only methods will change\u201d. No surrender, in spite of the increasing use of digital recognition and tracking techniques<\/strong>\u00a0for accessories. Because \u201cthere is no technology that cannot be violated\u201d, he closes.<\/p>\n
