Once upon a time I tried buying from an “OEM” site, being caught up in the hoopla of cute clothing. Although I can admit that I absolutely adore the “Asian” style that has plagued the market, and despite its lack of uniqueness, I still tried buying from these stores that are selling these kind of clothes.
Some of these sites are wholesale-dress, causeway and CCT. (Yes buyers these are the stores where your importers are getting their stuff from)
Of course I didn’t know at that time that these items were FAKE, absolutely cheap look-a-likes of the original creations that the hardworking designers pored over for hours and hours just to make the design marketable.
Some people may be idiotic enough to think that since Asia is a generally poor continent, designers don’t give a damn over these copycats of their designs. And some are even abysmally stupid to think that there are no anti-counterfeit laws in most Asian countries, as well as Asian designers who care over their rights.
But actually designers do care. In fact the only problem is the fact that CHINA is so loose with the laws that many of their manufacturers just wait like hungry, disgusting monsters over the next designs so they could counterfeit it in their sweatshop factories (despite the claim of these knockoff companies that their sewing factories are “clean”).
Sadly so many people are letting this go on, despite the fact that they know they are buying fakes.
I have to say they are cheap and not good quality but i would still buy them
Yes I agree they are insanely cheap and so tempting to buy. but have you even tried buying from them?
