Shanghai private houses stock high end brands...I posted re this about 1+ yr back.

And for sure LVM and Gucci 100% Triple-A knock-offs are available in Canton - much better prices than Sz or Shanghai. Perfect imitations - my wife and my HK country manager spent two hours shopping, each bought a suitcase full this past Sept. The Mrs. was even complimented multiple times at various international airports for her new LVM bag ^

We're planning to give away the small purses and passport cases as Christmas gifts to our family - of course, with full disclosure!

Pls do not pm for address or contacts, you need to be personally taken to their 'store' in a residential district.

Back to Sz and LuoHu- there are stores that sell the high end knock-offs - you just have to ask them for it (they'll go fetch them from wherever they're hidden) and you need to be able to tell the difference. They are higher priced than the 'private' stores but still better than paying the price for the real mcCoy.
