A young couple received a year of probation and a 50,000 yuan fine from a Minhang district court for selling fake branded bags.

Gu Zhi and his wife Qin Mei, both in their 20s, from neighboring Anhui province began selling counterfeited leather bags at a rented shop in November 2009.

Police found 185 copycat bags and wallets with potential retail value of 868,000 yuan at their shop during a raid in January. The faked brands included LV, Chanel and Gucci.
