KEY POINTS:
Beijing's Silk Street Market, famous for knock-off designer gear from North Face jackets to Louis Vuitton bags, has unveiled its own brand and, apparently with a straight face, warned counterfeiters not to copy it.
The first items to bear the Silkstreet name include apparel and household items. "Silkstreet products are sold exclusively in the market. Anyone using the brand outside will be held liable," market general manager Wang Zili said.
