Is it worth it buying cheap clothes/replicas from chinese online stores?

[Anonymous No.14239968]

>>14239964
ali is my go-to for everything, just look at feedback and don't buy anything that people have commented on bad workmanship

[Anonymous No.14241266]

>>14239968
Same. Do keep in mind that you have to be more careful with the Ali stuff because it breaks easier. Other than that.. If the customs don't catch you it's a good deal.

[Anonymous No.14241353]

Absolutely DO NOT buy that trash unless you want to bathe in chemicals and chinese dye. Horrendous quality and material standards.

Dont listen to this guy. There are tiers for replicas or as a hater would say “knockoff or fakes”.

Check out the reviews and ask for additional pictures. Also visit replica forums for additional information.

if you know what ur getting, yeah. the sizing is almost always fucked tho

[Anonymous No.14241449]

Sure if you want it to fall apart on the first wash and fit like shit

There are exceptions but buying knockoffs/cheap shit is ALMOST NEVER WORTH IT, and I don’t just mean about clothes. Appliances, phones, tools, peanut butter, game controllers, laundry detergent, anything.

Fakes are worse than knockoffs by known brands, because the fakes don’t have any reputation to protect and will quickly shit out the closest approximation.

Things can be overpriced because of A) Brand names creating abnormal supply or B) Advertising costs, but outside of that if the cost is lowered it is usually because of cheaper materials or rushed fabrication. The shitty Chinese knockoff company did not find a way ti magically be more efficient than the known brand and they aren’t just taking less profit for giggles. They cut corners somewhere.

[Anonymous No.14241467]

>>14239964
No, they are horrible quality. No matter how overpriced certain clothes are, at least they are good quality. Fakes are all about replicating the look but none of the quality.

Other thing is original expensive clothes have that certain look and feel in real life. If you take two basic black jeans, you can very easily tell which one is 20 dollars and which one is 200 dollars. Nowdays companies can cheat with the good lightning, photoshop, angles and all those tricks but in reality cheap clothing give a cheap feeling.

Take a look at it this way. You see bag A and Bag B. They look the same and taste the same however they are different brands. You noticed Bag B cost less and their brand is non existent however it is an imitation. The only difference is the stitching pattern. Bag A cost 100 while Bag B cost 20.

Let’s say you you found the connect to get you 1:1 replica ray bans as an example. Seller offered you a bulk discount let’s say 120 of hear sunglasses for 15 a piece. A real version cost 70 so you can sell them for at least 30 a piece. You sell all of them make some money. Tell yourself let’s double up and order 300. You sell them all. Let’s triple up! You sell all. Next thing you know you profited 10k of earnings from selling fake shit. A secret shopper will report your store and you will go to jail.

And that’s you’re problem. You’re bitter because you’re broke. I’m not rich, I just choose where I put my money because I went and worked instead of going to college. I wait for sales, I buy the cheapest item off a brand that I’m interested to gauge the quality and I stick to an aesthetic so I know that I’m going to wear it instead of impulse buying some common projects because they look nice and feel nice.

Fashion is not an objective art. All you’re showing me right now is that you don’t know what you’re talking about and that you are very insecure.

If you are only concerned with beginner level fashion, that’s fine but your opinion is shitty and ignorant. Need I remind you that you are:

I don't understand the point of replicas. The entire point of quality clothes is that it makes you feel better wearing it. Why not just buy from fashion fashion retailers if you dont want to spend money? Even those are way better quality than fakes. Can you imagine driving a fake car or a living in a fake house? its retarded.

It ain’t about getting laid. It’s about finding a woman who will be by your side and will take care of you. In reality, the more getting laid you get, the chances of finding this person will be slim. My wife is used to be a model and after souls searching, we opened our first business and now we’re living on the hills.

Reason I’m on /fa/ is because fashion is related to our business. Just go on here and look at what everyone’s wanting to wear and what not to wear.

Back to the point. I got no problem wearing replicas. Everyone’s got their own opinion.

You can sell it on the streets in the back of your trunk however if you are in country that prohibits infringement, the only option is to KYC (know your customer) when fulfilling an order to customer. This is so they won’t snitch on you. Hard to manage though. There are secret shoppers everywhere. Reality is, you can’t set up an online shop. Only in the streets or you can try CL by posting an ad.

I have bought A LOT of shit from China. Personally, I don't think clothing is really worth purchasing because sizing is often fucked and you never know what you're gonna get. Unless you're able to track down a certain piece that has a lot of people lauding its quality, it's just such a crap shoot.

HOWEVER, accessories like wallets, sunglasses and other shit like that is definitely worth buying. I've been buying fake Goyards and Raybans from quality suppliers and have always been satisfied. Can't really tell the difference unless you're really looking.

Ali sucks ass for fakes because Daddy Jack Ma does his best to keep the site squeaky clean. I recommend DHGate.

Search "AOOKO Hot Sale Men Glass Gray Dark Green lens Sun Glasses Outdoor UV Protection Women oculos de sol masculino Sunglasses 50/52/54mm" on DHgate and you'll get an example of what I've found to be decent.

It's effectively the same site, but I think they turn more of a blind eye to obvious fakes. I buy my Goyard card holders here too. There's a point where maybe spending $30 of fakes is ridiculous, but I've bought bottom barrel fakes and was just not satisfied. Hope this helps.
