The other day I saw this sweater (which we all know has been all over Tumblr for way over a year now) in Forever 21. It was priced at $40. If I bought this from Taobao, fees and shipping included, it'd be less than F21's price. You say "made in China no less" implying that the clothes are probably going to be cheaply made, which you are right to an extent, but don't you know that the vast majority of clothing in retail stores are in fact made in China? A lot of my friends shop at F21 a lot and they tell me the store's quality is like a grab bag. Some items are good quality and some shrink and rip after the first wash. I'd much rather buy from the source and be able to check the item's quality and store ratings for myself than buy from a retail store who purposely bought the cheapest version of a clothing item to sell it for more.

Also, I made my first Taobao order two years ago and I still wear the items I bought as they are still in good condition. Maybe you buy from really shitty shops or you don't take good care of your clothes, anon.
