Buy fake bags, watches in Shanghai
If you’re looking to buy a fake purse, handbag, bag, watch, or even shirts, ties, and iPods in Shanghai China, there’s plenty of selection. Today, I went shopping for fake bags for my two sisters. We headed to Nanjing Road (南京西路) aka People’s Square and waited to be approached by a fake-goods peddler (they carry laminated cards with faded samples of the goods).
This is approximately the location; there’s a huge, wide walkway for people–no cars, lined with stores. If you haven’t been to Nanjing Lu, you haven’t been in Shanghai too long.
You should expect to pay 100-300 RMB for bags, depending on quality & size. Some bags are cheap fakes, other higher quality fakes are indistinguishable from the real thing, because they’re made as an extra run in the factories making the real things, and sold on the side. For example, we bought this high-quality knockoff LV bag for 300 RMB:
I’m not sure which LV bag it’s most similar too–the Claudia Monogramme Multicolor seems close–but for $45 we received a bag that would cost upwards of $2,000 on 5th Avenue in NYC. I also bought two watches, in the 150 RMB range (probably too much):
Some other suggestions I’ve seen to find counterfeit goods in Shanghai include (but not limited to):
- Science & Technology Museum underground shops
- Qipu Lu
- HengShan Lu
- Xiang Yang Market (now closed)

Thanks for the info; I’m currently in Shanghai myself – stopped by the Science & Technology Museum MTR shops (supposedly the “new” XiangYang market) this morning to pick up a suitcase and a couple purses. (160RMB for a “samsonite” bag – good price, 350RMB for 2 “prada” purses – great quality, but I think I should’ve bargained more.)
Anyway, thanks again for the info – I’ll be headed over to Nanjing this evening to take a look at watches (When in China. . .)
well i believe bags are good buy in shanghai i bought the same bag in qipu lu for 160 rmb ,and a HQ one as it has exactly same no of monograms on both side and no fade and clear threadwork ,so its really important that yo bargain well in shanghai though i could never find this design on lv website . also a copy ysl t shirt comes as cheap as 15 to 20 rmb .i love the place the quality matches the real stuff specially in leather and suzoh silk i another must buy.
oh! and i wanted to add that this is not a very HQ bag that they probably sold ,as those not have the monograms disappear into the seams which do in this pic. a HQ lv bag in shanghai can be almost as detailed as real ones, these points can make bargaining easier and get you a better price from the shopkeepers
Hi there, I’could not believe this couse I’m searching for this bag but I couldn’t found anywhere before.. Can you help me for this? How can I connect this shop for buy this and another models of bags?
Thanks for now.
