Harwin Drive

"[3] Jenalia Moreno of the Houston Chronicle said that Harwin was "a strip known by local fashionistas as ground zero for affordable purses, clothing, shoes and jewelry.

"[4] Moreno also said "If you want name-brand purses, designer sunglasses or other accessories at dirt cheap prices, Houstonians know to hit shops lining Harwin Drive.

Consumers buy the goods thinking they're getting a sweet deal — or just give a wink and a nod knowing the products could be fake.

The Houston Chronicle stated "There are no places to relax on Harwin -- no food courts, dressing rooms or restrooms.

The Chronicle said "Locals know the Harwin fake situation for bags and luggage, but ask a store employee, and they may act clueless.
