An unscrupulous trader admitted selling counterfeit Apple products and perfumes during his second court appearance.
Arthur McDonagh travelled to Worthing to sell fake, luxury wares earlier this year.
The 21-year-old, who lives at Kanes Hill Caravan Site, Southampton, was flogging perfume, smart watches and mobile phones in the town on April 7.
He led people to believe they were designer items as they bore packaging identical to that of Apple, Dior, Hugo Boss, Paco Rabanne, Chanel, and Coco Madame.

This was in breach of the Trade Marks Act 1994.
McDonagh was called before Worthing Magistrates’ Court earlier this month.
On Wednesday, May 28, he appeared before Southampton Magistrates’ Court facing a charge of selling goods with a sign likely to be mistaken for registered trademark.
He pleaded guilty to the single charge and will return to the same court on July 25.
