Shops & Brands

(List originally published as a blog post on January 9th 2018 at 20.47. The title was List of Online Shops (+ secondhand). Got transformed into a blog page on October 13th 2019.)

I created this page in order to keep track of the shops I personally liked. The categories are pretty random, but I still felt it was worth sharing and I'll be glad if it is of any use to anyone. I plan on updating this list occasionally.

Concerning the section "Miscellaneous shops", I'm in no way an expert with regard to shopping for Asian fashion clothes on Taobao. Therefore some shops listed may not be the best or the cheapest (they seem to sell the same stuff sometimes).

*I haven't bought from all the sites listed

Miscellaneous shops

Mostly Taobao shops (but also YesStyle and Storenvy). I wrote some comments since I keep forgetting which shop sells what and what is up with them last time I checked.
