There are people selling them on the streets all over HK. Some of them are really nice. They cost $4-5 each.

I remember also running across a Gianfranco Lattanzi in Japan. They weren't terrible shoes (not like a lot of the "Salvatore Versace" or "Sablina Valentino" variety), but they were definitely not Silvano or any of his relatives.


So, why is this brand a fake or rip off then.
They are a legitimate shoe company in Montenegrano, the Northhampton of Itlay.
In fact they have been operating around the same time as Silvano.

Some people do have the same surnames. It's not uncommon. Some artisans even have the same forename & surname.
For instance, who is the fake Salvatore Piccolo then?
