FAKE designer goods worth £25,000 were seized in a raid on a warehouse in Hillington.
Trading Standards officers confiscated the haul of jewellery and accessories from a fashion warehouse.
Now, the company, John McRoberts Ltd, has been fined £2000 at Paisley Sheriff Court after pleading guilty to possession of the counterfeit goods.
Anti-counterfeiting officers were tipped off to go to the McRoberts' warehouse on March 7 last year.
Among the top names which had been copied were Chanel, Calvin Klein, Yves St Laurent, Playboy Enterprises, Burberry and Christian Dior. Sports accessories with Nike, Rangers and Celtic trademark logos were also taken to be examined.
The company claimed it had discovered the items were fake and as a result did not put them on display but kept them boxed.
Procedures had now been tightened to ensure there would be no repetition.
