SEATTLE — Border officials say they have seized more than 25,000 counterfeit purses that arrived in an ocean container from China.
More than 8,500 of the purses were knockoff Gucci, Fendi, Burberry and Coach bags, officials with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office said Monday. The bags were seized in Seattle March 13.
Officials said the combined manufacturer’s suggested retail price of the handbags, had they been genuine, is more than $ 8.4 million.
