Brand-name knockoff shopping

[Lady Vidora]

I don't want to get into a discussion about whether I SHOULD by knockoffs, but I heard that in the caribbean there are ports where there is some great shopping for things like that. I will be going on the Grand to Costa Maya, Roatan, Belize City and Cozumel. Are there any good markets for those kind of things in those ports? I'm VERY excited by this because we'll be going right before Christmas and my friends would all be happy to get some (I'd even tell them they were fakes :-).

Well, I have been known to be a bargain hunter and found some great knock-offs in Nassau, St. Thomas, Cabo San Lucas and Cozumel in particular. Unfortunately, since the hurricane, I am not sure where to direct you in Cozumel. I am sure there will be shopping opportunites for such items - just don't know where they have chosen to set-up shop in relation to the tender pier.
