U.S. Customs and Border Protection stomped out some fashion grinches earlier this month when they found $450,000 worth of counterfeit goods coming through John F. Kennedy International Airport's mail center earlier this month, WWD reports.

Here's hoping that Santa doesn't deliver any fakes this year.
