I bought my wife a pair of ugg in Shanghai knowing they were fake. I told my wife that no one would know. Initially she did not want them, but gave in after I told her how much they cost in the US, $150. The biggest difference she said was the weight of the fake one, much heavier. Once we got home, I bought her a real pair. The fake ones are now gone. The real ones are worth it, much better craftsmanship.
