About:
*puts on a jacket that actually touches his waist line for once*. “too long” .
Lmao a jacket that actually fits correctly 😂
akshually, the waistline is slightly above the belly button. and akshually clothes are meant to fit AT the waistline. ppl started making clothing that fits below the waistline cause of fashion
@Blakholetregardless. The above statements stand.
@Blakholet🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
@Blakholetpeople made pants lower for fashion but I'm pretty sure jackets were made shorter for fashion...
The word “fake” in the garment industry lost all meaning once the replicas became higher quality than the authentic ones. Everyone who is seething and fighting in the comments is either extremely uneducated or just bitter resellers.
I’d rather buy reps then spend 1000s on designer. Used to pay top dollar now I’m buyin 200$ Louis bags and 60$ off white hoodies that feel like they came from Virgil himself
@GOLDFiSH86-o8rif you don’t have the money don’t buy honestly the fake is always seen and it’s awkward
@b-j4577if you care abt status lol
@GOLDFiSH86-o8ru don’t get the lifetime service. Which it might not be worth it to you but it’s not always about the materials.
@GOLDFiSH86-o8rI know expensive brands does sounds dumb, but just because it's dumb that doesn't mean you should buy fakes. I learned at school once that you should respect a brand. Even if I remember correctly, my country have this kind of "guidelines" and one of them is to respect a brand. It's not about the prices, it's about your dignity. Also my advice, I'm pretty sure there are a lot of alternatives if you couldn't afford it.
The made in italy and made in france tag is also made by china 😂
The apparel label business is a huge industry. Companies like ITL GROUP also have their largest production capacity in China. After all, most of the upstream material and equipment as well as downstream major clients' production capacity are in China.
The entire luxury industry is a giant scam. Literally ALL OF IT
Yup. There was a documentary a few years ago, about luxurious Italian brands, and how their leather (bags) and fur items get produced. Also, how foreign workers in Italy work all day long, like slaves, for low payment and even getting injured at work because the employer doesn't want to spend zero on basic safety. (Better yet: removed a safety fence, to maje workers faster and squeezing in another 40mins of efficiency per day, as a consequence a workers hand was cut off in accident)
在中国工厂订一批货，不贴牌子，不钉拉链，运回意大利，安装拉链，噢，意大利手工制作。你别问我怎么知道，因为我就是给他供货的中国厂商，进货价，20美元，卖2000美元。
a lot of people still don’t realize that “made in italy” or “made in france” nowadays actually mean those items are only assembled by low paying indian/bangla/pakistani workers in factories owned by chinese people in europe… the rest of the manufacturing processes were made elsewhere
Extremely true... impressed about how well-informed u are.
@ahamstasfantasy thank you
so you could get the same quality garment made in China?
@r@rhysjeffery1630The materials often come from China. They’re just put together in Europe.
My "made in Italy" sunglasses bought via the official distributor shipped from China. I'm sure that was just a coincidence.
Dayum outfits cheaper than my morning coffee 👀
😂
Rimowa has brainwashed us all lol ... aluminium is an industrial commodity bought by the ton. It ain't a luxury material, $100 for a suitcase is about right! 😂
Rimowa used to be better quailty and did cost half. The same think happenend to Birkenstock. LVMH is only good in downgrading the quaility and at least doubling the price. There is a reason, why Bernad Arnault is the richest Person in Europe.
@amduser86
Buy nothing from
Arnault und kearing.
Ich habe schon vom Zuschauen eine Störung
Der Wahrnehmung...
Hilfe....
Its no secret that fashion prices are a scam, they have been for a long time but people keep mindlessly paying for it so it will continue.
You're paying for the brand name is what they say. In China you are at the source and what I see at the wholesale markets in Guangzhou is really mind-blowing.
True. You either pay for the utility/quality OR pay for what the product/brand says, which is basically "I can."
@ayuanandadream yep you're getting the same exact piece of clothing except before it's got to the branding stage, it really is mind-blowing compared to what we are getting for the prices in the US/Uk and other places. The brands are literally ripping people off massively.
True that. When I was a teenager working at a restaurant, I would save my money just to buy designer. 10 years later, I'm now a bit financially secure and I don't give a damn buying designer. I've lived all over Asia and you'd realize it's stupid as nobody cares if you're wearing designer. Better ways to spend money.
Nah you are paying for the thousands of hours to design a garment. That is why it is expensive becaue it is hard to just come up with a piece. Stopping capping all of you.
As a Guangzhou native, I have never been to Zhanxi before… it’s just way way too big 😂
Is it 站西in 廣州？
@kentam9352Yes, near Guangzhou Railway Station.
@kentam9352 Yes, it's the name for that area, it has different buildings in there
@kentam9352 Yup, 站西 is short for 火车站西
Man wird schon vom zuschauen schwindelig.....
Kein Wunder dass die Welt von Klamotten überschwemmt wird
Lg😂
Now you know why they say "Boycott China"
Cannot compete. Chinas manufacturing powers are just getting started
Can’t boycott slavery bro. You’ll never win.
@PookanetChina has automated dark rooms. There is no slavery. The real slavery is in USA with for profit prisons. That's why lCE be catching citizens for. Also plenty of horror hospital stories of organ harvesting alive patients
@mrzack888 If you are saying China doesn’t have slaves/slavery going on you are either intentionally lying or are just ignorant on the matter.
@1InterloperChina doesn't have slaves. USA has slaves via private for profit prisons. You are the ignorant one. Gullible
This is most likely where Ye went to get inspiration for some of his clothing
There’s so much more. Trust me, this is just scratching the surface.
100%
Nope they got it from Ye! this style started coming out AFTER Ye started designing these styles, he was in fact ahead of this curve
I've been buying reps for years. My brother in law is from China and he has connections with all these factories. From Nike's to almost any other designer brand, it's crazy how indistinguishable 'reps' are.
Typically if the original design doesn't have technical components, such as carbon fiber, it's extremely hard to tell the difference
if nike buys stuff from them tough who really is the rep then
@Atowngusare you retrded, do factories made the designs? Samples are made first, before sending to factories abroad
Can I get in touch please? Very keen to buy consistent pieces
@xrizbira 事实上工厂也有专门的设计团队 观看他的前期视频 你会发现很多概念中的设计被生产出来
might just be the greatest series on yt
For anyone wondering, they went to the Guangzhou U:US (广州UUS国际时装城) wholesale market in Guangzhou. Huimei International Garment City (汇美国际服装城) is also a nice market btw. The official name of the fabric market is Guangzhou International Textile City (广州国际轻纺城), although some people refer to it as Zhongda Fabric Market. The Chinese names can make it easier to find the markets.
The only jacket that fit normally, he said "too long" lol Dudes odd
It’s about dressing your proportions,
my upper body is also slightly longer than my legs:
getting a
”normal“ lengths jacket makes the legs look stunted,
especially with baggy trousers.
shorter jacket looks much better. ✌️
@thomaxtubeHis shirts and jackets are typically more cropped than what is ideal proportionally. It's a preference, which is cool. It's his body.
Chinese fashion is slept on
No dear, you've been buying rebranded Chinese and Indian clothes in your favorite high street and designer store.
Why cant they sell quality through temu,I ask😅.
@tredjesongen Well that'd just tank their reputation, also they don't need to sell and ship clothes abroad when they have plenty of customers locally.
@Etheldreda-w9myeah I understand that.
But why all the poison when they can have a higher standard? Somethings not adding up.
Its not Chinese fashion, its American/French fashion that inspires these designs
中国工厂不仅负责生产还负责设计，也就是说某些时尚品牌并不参与某件商品的设计工作，因为这需要对制作工艺和材料有充分的了解。那些时尚品牌通常不了解制作的细节部分，他们只是给出整体的时尚风格标准，然后交给工厂设计和生产。
Fact
That maybe true but there are still some brands that are exclusively made in Italy or France. It just requires a bit of research to know which ones are which.
That's why now the fashion is only workout suits and sneakers
其实很多都是中国供应链企业设计的。外国牌子看中了之后下单，然后贴上他们的牌子。
@dt8101是的。他们就是负责广告（骗人）散布诸如这款限量包包买到就是赚到，几十万买下等几年能涨到一百万。真的有人信。结果上海的二手包市场三折也卖不掉。
Bro I was there in Shenzhen a few days ago, and I think I saw u guyssss OMGGGG
guangzhou is insane. if you can go canton fair is life changing. the tech district in guangzhou is a day of exploring as it is. i remember seeing these transparent led screens that you could stick to windows or use as tvs etc
China is deffo getting more up there with technology which they used to struggle in before. But they’re still behind in technology compared to Japan and South Korea
@j86485你是指民主自由吗？😅
@j86485 请问你能不能具体说说，日本和韩国有什么比中国领先？
@liftlei7331 No I mean in technology. No country has true democracy and freedom lol
@ericlau1111 Technology
Everything in GZ and SZ is negotiable, never pay the asking price!
You think those prices are cheap but you’re actually paying 50% more than you should be.
What is GZ and SZ?
@avgonyma1I’m not Chinese, but I’m guessing it’s Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
@CoolKathYeah, abbreviations for Guangzhou & Shenzhen.
不完全正确，因为很多市场是批发价钱，因为零售价和批发价钱不是一回事
alot of these prices are more cheaper than what they are suppose to be paying for, i bought the same luggage for $20 while i was there, so you can actually bargain on the price
Yeah he got ripped off(excessively on the shoes) on basically everything he bought lol and was still a happy customer. I guess value is in the eye of the beholder.
可以和老板还价的 还可以买的更便宜
Yeah, that's what we Croatians always do. But they are Brits and still need to learn that the price there isn't final.
loving the china videos
所以你懂得在24年的时候LV老板拿过世界首富的称号，里面的利润太大了
Where can we go to purchase these clothing pieces from China online? Aliexpress just doesn't get the job done.
@Kiano_Khanpinduoduo? But u need local guidance cause not all of them is quality😂there is a hit and miss with this
@Kiano_KhanTaobao.
@Kiano_Khan No, I would suggest you to use Chinese version: Taobao, which you have to learn some Chiese, some basic shopping words at least. The shipping part is actually the easiest way, there are tons of affordable freight companies delivery by air or ship.
@Paralianpoetyes, you're right about that actually. I currently reside in South Africa 🇿🇦 and it would be a hell'ova trip to make to chine just to purchase clothes. I appreciate the fact that they also offer the opportunity to purchase online and that's really where I'm hoping to be able to buy some personal clothing items. If you've had any experience in person or online I'd love to hear it
Bro pull your pants up.
No!!!!
Best series on youtube so far
\
Crazy to see the younger Gen bringing back slightly oversized clothing.
"slightly"
90's fashion
Slightly ? Lmfao . . .
i learnt from my last gz trip is to always bring a suitcase shopping at these malls hahaha
Welcome to the outside of the bubble.
That bubble has been built for decades and finally is crumbling down in front of your eyes.
The rest of us who has been living outside of the bubble has been waiting for you guys to come out.
Once again, welcome and explore the infinite possibilities that exist in other countries too with open minds and open heart 🤓
The fact that people ride scooters inside the shopping mall...
Wisdom kaye type shi
Have trawled these supplier malls also (over 10 years ago, glad to see they've modernised their fitouts). It was funny seeing your wide eyed response, I was the same. When I got home though, in the plain light of day, I wore very little of it due to its oddness and ill fit, and the business plans dissolved after studying potential competitors. I hope your mileage varies.
this episode are crazy, those jackets omg
何止夹克，鞋子。我刚买了5双。网购。一双50RMB，质量都挺好的。
@fsdasdas-vs7fk damn bro, do a video and show around bro, would love to see it
这个博主前面也有拍。
@fsdasdas-vs7fkAre you able to share the online site you bought?
@warrenmaugo4489 中国的网站，拼多多。或者淘宝
Amazing series
It's better to not bring any clothes there and just buy your wardrobe while shopping. It'd be easy to bring many back that way.
That's what I typically do. Just buy a whole new wardrobe there.
@kelgbrown007yep. As long as you buy them at the right place and not tourist trap locations it'd be worth it
It's especially worth it looking at the variety of stuffs in this video.
I just order online, if you know where tp buy you can buy all of this and get it shipped lol. just don't buy the cheapest replica and ask for high quality 1:1 items and you get pictures you check and approve it lol.
@usernametaken3098buying clothes online is just a recipe for disaster, especially on unbranded stuff like this, I just don't like not knowing how the fabric feels, how it looks on me. And whether the color is really like in picture.
@usernametaken3098 can u buy from this unbranded stores? I saw some items here I really loved
this is what i was searching for
Dope video. Great content. Loving it!
There are many such shopping malls nearby, and it might take you half a month to finish visiting them all. Also, there’s a saying about clothing: Guangzhou leads the way for summer wear, while Hangzhou takes the spotlight for winter wear. That’s why Hangzhou is also home to several top-tier shopping malls as well.
Could you please let me know the names of the Hangzhou malls? Heading over there soon 😀
@littleleezie Sorry. I live in Guangzhou, so I'm not very familiar with the shopping malls in Hangzhou.😭
@Edwin_Wjkno probs. Thanks for replying 😀
@littleleezie 你可以在小红书发帖问问。不过大型零售商场都是卖品牌的。中国也不例外。他们去的是服装制造产地，主要针对的出口商。
Hi I’m coming to Guangzhou soon is it true that you can bargain prices at the manufacturer malls like this?
This series is awesome, Elliot. I'd love to see you and your brother go to places with empty suitcases and basically your job is to acquire your clothes for the trip while on the trip!
I have different thoughts on my spending habit. But I really appreciate this vid👍🏾
This could have been the US if corporations and government didn't sell off our entire manufacturing sector.
The reason corporations off shored manufacturing is it can't be done in the US at these prices.;
@junkee2511 是的，可以赚取巨大差价，不只是企业政府问题，是社会制度问题。
Literally just came from there it’s CRAZY
What's name of this place?
@KayMatthewsKumbuza Guangzhou International Textile City
9:36 - His brother failed him here. That jacket is fire! It fit him and his aesthetic REALLY WELL. It's like crop top peer pressure lol. 'Nah, bro. Too long'.
Really cool series, Elliot. Keep it up, bro!
Boots my grandpa woud wear for working in garden: ooooooooh thats nice
Nice Review of plastic in different shapes
Bro I been waiting for this vid since the last finally out
Omg that little moustache 🥸
Love your Benfica shirt 👍
that coat you said was too long was not all the ones you wear usually are way too short it looks weird asf
为什么要拿你的审美去要求别人呢😢
He usually wears jackets and not coats. I dont think ive ever seen shoe nephew in a coat.
Jackets are supposed to be cropped at the waist for functional mobility. Coats are meant to cover your waist for functional cold resistance.
@raphaelverminsorry for not knowing the correct terminology for jackets lol but fine the jackets he wears are always too short are you happy now?
@qpwo8😂😂😂
Makes want to ro go shopping to quality stuff
This is my favorite thing that you do
Amazing episode man! Might be my favourite one, gotta visit there
11:29 behemoth not bohemoth
it's so interesting the preconceived notion that China only makes low quality items when a good amount of the things people buy from brands come from China. People have also been saying for years that when it comes to certain brands you are only paying for the name and nothing else.
Its only low quality bc greedy importers will only buy the cheapest stuff for the non premium sector. Those that get the nicer materials made in china wont tell u that they were from there.
@Rivercottagevegthey will label it in Italy and now that jacket is made in italy
@YonduGaming-qm9hv
That would be fraud. And it’s exceptionally hard to get away with on a bigger scale. So no, they can’t just label something “made in Italy,” if it’s not. By EU law the last substantial transformation has to be in the EU (understood as at least 50% of the value of a good), or by Italian law, all end stage production must be in Italy, assembling, sewing, etc. Faking tax papers and import documents could put you in jail for years, since you would also have to defraud the state for tax income.
let me give you a like, for your fashion sense.. more power to you guys,.
enjoyed your video!
A big, puffy jacket is a lot easier than working out and lifting weights.
that mall is insane
a lot of cool pieces and good prices
Dope video
The reason I love living here (the clothes from these kinds of shops) and the reason I hate it (the e-bikes/scooters)
Literally had the mules at 13:35 saved from some brand at some point in the last yeah lol
中大布匹市场……作为广州人非常的怀念，特别是三十年前我读书时读的是服装设计专业，因此经常到中大布匹市场购买布匹面料以及拉链纽扣等各种配件，那时已经是闻名全中国的市场，你想得到的想不到的什么都有。
Benfica Shirt 🔥🔥🔥
Eye opener😊😊👍🏿
was there today its amzing
your brother is rocking the best jersey ever !!! BENFICA!!!
love your vlogs bro
But what is the warranty on this luggage?
nice
A mall so large that people ride motorbikes through it
My boy Dylan rocking an SLBenfica jersey! 🦅🔴⚪
Great video showing the behind-the-scenes of many brands! It is important to note that many of these same pieces cost more in the west due to the price to ship and import it, and then to pay the employees of the western company that sells it to you. If you can go straight to the source, great! If not, just know that there's a lot more than the cost of the product itself wrapped up in the final price you pay.
Eye opening 👀
pls do more vlogs especially in Asia!!
Elliot def coming up with a brand soon, I can tell
does anyone know if they sell these jackets online? 10:25 I couldn't find the brand on taobao
10:22 i think those jackets looks like Adidas x Hamcus few years ago.
Im assuming it is impossible to get some of their items delivered to home for a personal use right? Or is this also possible to order them from EU without ordering 50+ items?
I feel like Elliot is gonna create his own clothing brand soon
Where are the glasses from???sooo niceeeee
Replicas gang holla holla balla balla
17:52 you were right the first time it’s Shenzhen (Zh is close to J as in Jennie)
Thanks for the insight here - Really valuable information. Please can you kindly share which floor the waterproof jackets are on, specifically the ones where water is applied, and a pattern is visible? Thanks!
It’s glad to see my hometown having so many cool stores. Guangzhou used to be a big wholesale center for clothing. I appreciate this video to let more people know about China!
全世界的服装批发中心就在广州，包括你们想到的TEMO, SHEIN等都是广州的企业
It starts in the middle east as far as the raw design then brought to China for finishing and then labeled (sometimes) by brand home origin
Omg those boots😮
Anyone know what type of chain the necklace eillot wears is? It’s dope
16:47 homie said “mxm”😂😂 🇿🇦
Wtf? News Daddy?! Lol
is cool to remind that a few monts ago, when the exposed, by chinese manufacturers, on high end brands happened, he criticize every aspect of it. A few months later now, all of a sudden, the prices are amazing, nothing is fake and the quality is awesome, this guys is not a clown he is the whole circus
😂😂😂 they grow up so fast
At least one quality fashion brand might come from this video. What an exciting thought.
Elliot can you give me the name of the store you got the suitcase???? I want that aluminum
More like this in China please
Please tell me you got that grey jacket when we wasn’t looking !!
Come to Hong Kong next time my bro! It’s an awesome place!
Good video guys. Would be useful if you would give us the detail on where you went to (where you flew into, cities you went to etc) , how you got there, hotels, guides etc?? Give us the full low down as 99% of us have never ever been to China & it’s daunting to get your head around going there as it’s soooo unfamiliar to us!
Thanks guys🙏🏻
damn those are 🔥🔥
Any way I can access these stores without actually going there (tho i would love to now)?
7:18 - "Too long"? What?!? I was thinking that fit really well, and I'm a girl.
