Xiangyang Market – Vouis Luitton and Friends

Xiangyang Market is the place to get brands for less. Sometimes you get even three of more designer labels on the same garment, and as the service is not with the par of designer boutiques, you may already guess that the items sold here are fake.

There are more than a hundred stalls selling bags, garments, watches, movies, CDs and other items worth replicating. If you’re going to buy something, check the item carefully, as you don’t have any rights for claims. Note that your home country may have a strict rule for pirated items, and the customs may take them away and give a fine instead.

The police raids the place from time to time, so the selection may be limited. Come again in a few days and the stalls have been supplied new items. Prepare for heavy pestering for watches, DVDs, bags and scarfs. Remember to smile while saying no, so nobody looses face. I smiled so much that my jaws were hurting still in the evening.
