Bro, just wear it loh.. who cares that it is original or not?
For me to have the real original feel, I will usually go to the official stores once in a while and fork out 300-500 to get those RL or Zara.
But AFAIK, all brands in Indon are fakes. Otherwise, many ppl will go to Bandung and bring back the originals and sell at LYN or their own local country and earn big bucks there and Bandung will even be more well known than Hong Kong or Singapore.
Just ask any Westerners or Europeans where is Bandung and try see they will know or not? I believe they will ask u to GTFO.
Its not about people care or not. Its about quality of the materials used. It feel different.

Honestly, from what I was told....
Most of the items there work like this. If DKNY contracts one of the factories to produce lets say 100,000 shorts, the factories will produce 150,000. 100k goes to DKNY and the 50k goes to the syndicates which are then distributed around. So to say they are fake, no. But illegal, maybe.
But for sure, anything in LV, Gucci and top brands are fakes. That is for sure. Even Timberland there, I think they are fakes. Anyhow, Bandung is a great place to shop for some mid-range brands. I posted a detailed summary of this on my blog if you wish to read on.
So, 9 out of 10 people I know just don't bother with the super brands. They just go to Dago and Jalan Riau to do most of the shopping. Forget Cihampelas if you want mid-name brands.
I'm quite agree with you. I see some of mid end brand are original and high end are total fakes.
