2. Beginner's Guide to r/DesignerReps
The basics

Many of the best replicas in the world come from China. Finding vendors can be difficult, as there are thousands of vendors out there that are willing to sell you something. The difference is knowing where and how to get the best items for your dollars.

To order from China, you will either need to find a vendor/seller that will ship directly to your address, or use an “agent” to collect your items from various vendors and ship them to you all at once. If you are planning to order directly from a vendor, the main sources of communication will be WeChat and WhatsApp. Both of these can be downloaded on any app store. Majority of people use an “agent,” as it decreases the likelihood of anything bad happening.

Vendor/Seller: The individual that you actually buy from.

Agent: A middleman or service that will order items for you and take care of the process from start to finish. Agents store your items in their warehouse, provide photos of the items you purchased, and then ship all your items to you at once. They work for you and ease the ordering process.

Recommended agents:

Pandabuy 5% DISCOUNT SIGN UP BONUS How to use Pandabuy
CityGoBuy $90 SIGN UP BONUS How to use CityGoBuy
CSSBuy COUPONS + PLATINUM ACCOUNT SIGN UP BONUS How to use CSSBuy
Sugargoo $45 SIGN UP BONUS How to use Sugargoo
Superbuy (Accepting Reps Again!) 20% FREIGHT DISCOUNT (use code “derpnov21” on checkout) + $86 SIGN UP BONUS How to use Superbuy

Each of these agents have an easy platform to use and have created their own guides on how to order with them to negate any confusion about the overall replica process. It is basically copy and paste system. But reading the agent guides is very important before getting started.

Finding items and trusted vendors

Almost all replica vendors rely on word of mouth for sales. Reddit is a great way to find vendor shops. So visit Reddit frequently and you will be sure to find some pieces you love. Each reddit post requires a link or contact for the vendor, so this is the easiest way to spot items you want. Many links will be in Chinese, but do not worry, you can just right click and choose “translate to english” on Google Chrome.

There are many trusted seller lists found on Reddit that you can browse and use to spot pieces. Sellers on these lists have provided quality items time and time again and are the easiest to work with.

DesignerReps Trusted Sellers: Luxury Brands, Leather Goods, & Shoes

RepLadies Trusted Sellers: Leather Goods & Shoes, but Female Focussed

FashionReps Trusted Sellers: Streetwear, Luxury Brands, & Shoes

RepSneakers Trusted Sellers: Mostly Hype Shoes Like Jordans

Massive List by /u/sheeraaks: List For Yupoo Sellers

Shipping and avoiding customs

Whether you are shipping directly or with an agent, you will need to think about import taxes. Each country has different rules for shipping without getting hit with import taxes. We recommend you discuss this with whoever is shipping your goods. They have a lot of experience shipping to your country and will know better than anyone else. Any good vendor or agent will inform you about your country’s shipping requirements. You can also use the reddit search bar to search your country.

Looking for items on Reddit

There is a function called the Reddit search bar sitting at the top of r/DesignerReps. Basically, you just need to type the brand or item description you are looking for and “sort by new”. A second option is to simply search the web for the item you want and add “Reddit” to your search. Most reps will come up on a search.

4. Common FAQ

“What’s the difference between r/FashionReps and this subreddit?”

  • r/DesignerReps focuses only on luxury and high fashion replicas, thus being a more helpful and diverse subreddit than r/FashionReps for these houses and brands.

“Can I post about streetwear here?”

  • No. If you’re interested in replicas besides the segment of this subreddit, then check out the other subreddits in the sidebar as well as the Allowed & Not Allowed Brands page for more info.

“But what about collaborations?”

  • Please check the list of brands linked right above for the most up-to-date information.

“Can I submit shitposts and memes?”

“I want to post a review or make a post. How much karma do I need?”

  • A minimum of 5 post AND comment karma, plus an account age of a few days or higher is required before you begin posting (account age restriction is continuously updated and not communicated to prevent spam).

“I don’t know how to make a review? Is there some template to make it easier?”

  • Of course! Here‘s the review template.

“Where can I join the Designer Reps server on Slack, Discord…?”

  • There are none, it might never happen and we are not affiliated with any of the third party servers created by our subscribers.

“I just found a replica on Grailed, what should I do?”

  • You can report listings to Grailed using the report button on a listing or by emailing a link and brief description to report@grailed.com. As a last option, you can also submit a thread while paging u/grailedofficial in comments.

“Why can’t I flair my posts?”

  • Our automoderator is continuously updated to learn how to do it for you. While nothing is perfect, wrong-flaired posts are checked daily but if you find any post with a wrong flair, then feel free to report it. There is a specific rule for it.

5. Common Terminology

QC: Quality Control (QC for short) is talking about pictures that are posted from an agent of an item that was ordered. Users will post these if they’re unsure about the quality and would rather have someone else take a look at them if they’re good enough.

LC: Legit Check (LC for short) Much like the name states, this is a tag used for posts requiring a legit check. Legit checks are a great way of finding out if a item you’re purchasing is authentic or not.

GP: Guinea Pig (GP for short) Guinea Pigging is much like being a test subject. In this instance you will be the first person to order a seller’s new item. This means you’ll be the first to get pictures of their product and oftentimes you’ll post them to be checked for quality by the community.

FIND: Much like the name states. Posts with this flair are often linked to new products that haven’t been posted before.

W2C:: Where To Cop (W2C for short) W2C refers to the search for a desired item. Oftentimes will be linked with retail images for an example.

1:1: One to One (1:1 for short) 1:1 refers to a perfect replica. However, not many exist and oftentimes you won’t be able to get these as they’re sold out.

GL: Green Light (GL for short) GL Refers to a user who has given their approval of a QC post.

RL: Red Light (RL for short) RL Refers to a user who has given their disapproval of a QC post.

B&S: Bait & Switch (BS or B&S for short) B&S Refers to a seller who has advertised their product and sent goods that are different from advertised.

PSP: Pre Shipping Pictures is just another way of saying QC. PSP is mostly used over at r/repladies.

Gen: Genuine item aka authentic. This is a term often used over at r/reptime. People refer to “Gens” when they are discussing retail items.

Haul: A bunch of replica items shipped at once is called a haul or hauling. Hauling is the recommended way of ordering replicas, as it is typically a better bang for your buck when shipping.

8. A Complete Visual Guide to Buying Replica Designer Clothing

Introduction: The biggest and oldest of all trades

In the world of designer replicas, no other item is produced and sold more than clothing. For a trade that took off nearly half a century ago, there could be at least 1,000 factories out there today producing hundreds of thousands of different styles every year.

Contrary to other sides of the repworld for example where factories only deal with a handful of individuals, clothing is pretty much a wide open market: most factories are open for business and will take orders from anyone knocking on their doors. By factory, we refer to places that sell finished/ready to sell items or workshops that can reproduce any design upon demand. Thanks to this open door policy, many (re)sellers (if they are doing this on their own without any help) start their businesses selling clothing: the most popular styles are easy to find, shipping is fairly cheap, there’s a lower risk of seizures and most important the profits are good.

In DHgate, there are mainly 2 types of sellers that you will come across with: 1- sellers that deal directly with specific factories (mostly for high quality items);

2- sellers ordering from a wholesale website or physical warehouse location/ middlemen (mostly budget/mid tier items).

Shopping for designer replica clothing can be challenging at times; especially if you are looking for a specific piece at the best possible quality. Always shop around and be patient! Sometimes, good batches are simply not available at the moment. Instead of making an impulsive purchase and risk getting something below your expectations, save yourself some trouble by whether shopping other styles or your money for a later time. Also, always remember that every single seller is a reseller. There are no factories selling directly to a consumer in DHgate (or even elsewhere). Listing prices can vary dramatically from one seller to another or even from one day to another. With these key points in mind, the goal of this visual tutorial will be to present you with some basics of the trade while offering some tips on what to look out for and what to avoid.

Disclaimer: The following guide aims to provide its readers some general guidelines and tips when shopping for designer replica clothing in DHgate. This is not a definitive or ultimate guide. All the information provided comes from my own shopping experience and interaction with different DHgate sellers throughout the years.

What to expect and things to know before ordering

Sizes

Sizing is one of the most frequently asked questions when it comes to buying. Finding the right size can often be a coin toss. Size charts are normally available; but always beware that they are not 100% accurate. As a 101 rule, the higher the quality the closer to retail the item will be: for example, budget pieces will almost always run smaller (based on Asian sizes); while high quality ones will be true to size or close to reflect the retail world.

If you are not sure which size to pick, ask the seller for suggestions or have him/her try it while asking for their measurements. This shall give you a good idea of how close or far you are from your desired size.

Availability and sales: a seasonal affair

When it comes to availability, rep clothing follows 2 general rules:

1) Budget and some mid-tier quality items are massively produced and available all year long for most of the popular styles;

2) High quality or (near) 1:1 items are produced in very limited quantities and released during seasonal cycles (based on the Northern hemisphere/Chinese seasons). As a result, timing is key when shopping for these: if you find your desired item at the right price from a seller that you deem trustworthy, buy it before it sells out; as that item may never ever be replicated again.

For the more popular styles, the first released batches are normally the highest graded ones during the production run of that item. As an example, if you are looking for a heavy full winter jacket, late October to early December would be the best time to buy.

Just like in the retail world, rep factories always have clearance sales for some specific end of season items in order to make space for the new collections. For example, towards the end of the winter season or start of spring (March to May), some high quality winter jackets may be sold at very discounted prices. These ‘liquidation’ items are never listed by the mainstream sellers in DHgate.

Instead, new popup stores randomly open up selling these overstock or end of season items: if you are lucky enough to find a good seller and willing to order from a store with very few transactions, then you may have found a gold mine! Just beware that these stores tend to remain open for a very brief period of time. For the more experienced buyers, you can always contact your favourite seller(s) asking for these. They may be able to pull some nice deals out of their hats!

Women’s Clothing

Has quite possibly the largest selection of styles in all of the fashion repworld.

In DHgate, sellers are very widespread and each only seems to carry particular styles. They may order a specific item upon request from a wholesale website or middlemen, but prices may be high with unchecked quality;

Sizes can be an issue for items like dresses, one pieces and skirts as factories rely on different measurements;

High quality items are extremely limited, as most of the stock is sold to the Asian market first;

Pro tip: Because of the great number of styles available, you may only find a particular style in one graded quality. High quality coats and jackets are an exception, since they are by far the most profitable to sell.

Children’s clothing

Only 2 types of quality are produced: cheap budget and high quality.

They cost as much as adult clothing with some high quality ones costing even more. For this reason, most DHgate sellers only list the cheaper batches for sale. Higher quality ones are also available, but listings are rare with very few buyers and reviews;

Pro tip: Depending on the child’s age (baby, toddler or teen), it may not be worth it to pay top dollars for something that will be worn only a few times. For budget items, other websites dedicated to kid’s clothing offer very similar quality in terms of fabrics and craftsmanship (therefore, you will only be paying a premium to have the brand’s name).

On the same level, high quality items are rarely 1:1s with the vast majority being fantasy items. Their quality is great overall, but the high prices may not justify the investment, since you can easily find comparable and more affordable branded items in the retail world.

Assessing the quality and value of an item: what the seller/factory pictures show

Great work so far! A number of sellers replied with each one of them providing their own distinctive factory pictures. From here, your task will be to compare them to see which one is the closest to the authentic version for the price that you are willing to pay for.

On your analysis, take note of these key points:

Budget items very rarely feature closeup shots, as they will normally expose their flaws. Therefore, the more closeup pics available the better an item tends to be;

Examine the quality and accuracy of the tags and labels: they are almost inevery single way a reflection of the overall quality of the item itself;

Look for the smallest details such as the font used on the text, the size of the emblem/badge and the colour accuracy.

Final assessment

Congratulations! You’ve done your homework and your analysis. You found 8 potential sellers having your desired sweater for sale. Now, it is time to make a decision. Based on what you’ve seen and heard from each seller, your decision should be based on:

1) Price vs quality 2) Level of communication

– Was the seller approachable/friendly or pushy?

– Did he/she answer all my questions/concerns?

3) The seller’s ability to send you real pictures before shipping

– Always ask if they do or not prior to ordering. A seller that does will certainly spare you of an unsatisfied deal. Unfortunately, many sellers do not keep their promise and will end up shipping the item before showing it to you.

4) Go with your gut

– Buying reps is all about trust. Trust that the other party will deliver a quality product that matches the price you paid. With experience, you will be able to pick up the smallest details and become a human lie detector test; but for now, if you are taking your first baby steps, apply what you learned here and go with your instinct.

If you researched and did your due diligence properly, the deal will most likely be to your full satisfaction.
