Anyone here shop on Taobao?
Any reccomendations on Taobao stores?
My gf shops a lot there and there are honestly fucking gorgeous, very well designed pieces at very low prices as far as womenswear goes
But all the menswear I've found is hideous and tacky as shit

Example of some random cool womenswear store we just found
But all the menswear is ugly as shit
Reddit has designer rep where they're constantly sifting through taobao and posting the good stuff. Most of it is Gucci or Versace stuff
>>12582224
I'm not looking for reps of hype pieces tho, just good designs of good construction quality and at Taobao prices
The pieces my gf buys are seriously great, quality and designs much better than any western high street brands and comparable or even lower prices
shops I REALLY like:

FIrst one isn't my type (looks very Vetements inspired?) but yeha it's the idea of what I'm looking for, original designer stores
Second store is much closer to what I like!
Thanks for these mate

We started searching for 独立设计男装 which is like Independent Menswear Designs translated literally, a lot of cool stuff popped up
>>12583685
Yea I can make a list later today, she's in class right now
honestly /r/fashionreps can be a great resource, there are lists of reputable stores and quality pictures
>>12583521
I'm here
>>12583703
Wow, searching that just opened up a whole new world for me. Thanks man.
>>12583766
Yes, but 99% of it is hypebeast stuff.
>>12584321
Is it not 100% hypebeast stuff? Every other thread is a Supreme
>>12585276
I tried making a thread asking for a rep on an ACG Alpine jacket cause its impossible to find one in my size, and got like one reply. Literally everyone there are kids buying up fake ultra boosts/yeezys and supreme.

do you guys use an agent when using this site ?
>>12586210
basetao
>>12582250
>shops I REALLY like:
if you're a chick or a gay guy, these look OK. I'd never wear any of that shit myself tho.
>>12582179
>Anyone here shop on Taobao?
No. Why? Because you need a middle man to buy it for you if you don't live in China.
>>12586267
Protip: don't use BaseTao unless you don't care about your privacy and personal data
Use superbuy instead
(or any other, just not BaseTao and CSSBuy)
>>12582250
I swear only asians can dress like this. If I tried to wear some of those clothes I'd look retarded.
>>12586210
Ytaopal is great from my experience
Is there no way to purchase unless you use an agent? How much extra do you pay for their services?
>>12586496
I just found this guide myself. Haven't finished reading it though so I can't completely vouch for it
