The items were confiscated from three shops in Camden High Street as part of Operation Glimmerstone, a borough-wide campaign targeting organised crime and counterfeit trading.
The operation was led by Camden trading standards in partnership with the Metropolitan Police, WRi Group, Back Four Brand Protection, REACT UK and Surelock Investigators.

Two coordinated raids took place on August 27 and September 3, uncovering hidden storage areas packed with counterfeit luxury clothing, footwear, watches, jewellery, handbags and accessories.
Councillor Camron Aref-Adib, cabinet member for finance and cost of living at Camden Council, said: “Counterfeit trading is not a victimless crime – it undermines the hardworking, legitimate businesses that make Camden’s high streets vibrant and unique, and it puts residents at risk with unsafe, poor-quality goods.
“We’re proud to stand with our partners in taking decisive action to protect our borough and ensure Camden remains a safe and fair place to shop, live and work.”

Around 230 large sacks of counterfeit items were seized.
Six arrests have been made and closure order applications are now in progress, the council said.
Since September 2023, more than £70 million worth of counterfeit goods have been removed from retail and wholesale supply.
Camden trading standards said it remains committed to working with enforcement partners to identify and disrupt counterfeit operations across the borough.
The council is urging residents and visitors to report any suspicious activity through Citizens Advice.
