Step 1: Understand 1688 and Balenciaga Pricing

1688 is Alibaba’s domestic wholesale marketplace where many resellers source inventory at lower prices than retail. While genuine luxury goods like Balenciaga are rarely sold directly there, high-quality replicas—often referred to as "mirror-quality replicas"—are widely available.

Before making a purchase, check the price range and seller reputation. A helpful resource is the product spreadsheet at findsspreadsheet.com, which lists trusted sellers, product comparisons, and pricing recommendations.

  • Email and password registration.
  • Verification via SMS or WeChat.
  • Connecting a payment method like PayPal, Wise, or credit/debit cards.

Step 3: Search for Balenciaga Items on 1688

When browsing 1688, input keywords like "巴黎世家"(Balenciaga)【1:1同款】

  • Look for sellers with a high "transaction level" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
  • Check reviews (even using Google Translate).
  • Confirm product specs like size availability before proceeding.

Reminder: Quality varies—some replicas use genuine leather, while lower-tier versions may compromise materials.
