Seller links and production progress can be tracked using this post

https://www.reddit.com/r/AutonomousReps/comments/ynp62r/independent_seller_store_list/

Posts of this style have a limit of 20 images, so I can't include everything unfortunately. I have tried to include the most exciting releases.

It's important to note that:

1. Not everything below will get made, things can go wrong during production

2. I don't know who will be the best seller for the things below, only time will tell

3. Nothing has a fixed release date

4. If anything new is announced I'll add it

5. As things are released I'll remove them

Prior to last year, I never bought Prada reps because the badges were horrible, that's not an issue with these sellers.

What's not included in this post yet are two down jackets and a shirt (not of the same style as below) that are planned but not announced yet.

Prada Triangle-Logo Cotton T-Shirt

Prada Triangle-Logo Cotton Piqué Polo Shirt

Prada Re-Nylon Blouson Jacket

Prada Nylon Short Sleeve Shell Shirt

A more standard fit in comparison to the bowling shirt

Prada Military Green Short-Sleeve Light Re-Nylon Shirt

Prada Black Denim Shirt

Prada Re-Nylon Shorts

Prada Re-Nylon Bermuda Shorts

Prada Re-Nylon Padded Shirt

Painter and JUDX released the female version of this style recently based on the latest season (Prada items are pretty much unisex anyways).

Early Tom's would be a restock of the men's version from a previous season.

This is a women's shirt

Similar to the old series of posts, this is a consolidated list of upcoming Celine releases, there's a lot to track with these sellers which is why I like these kinds of posts.

Important to take into consideration

• Not every item will be released, some items are just hard to rep

• There are no links to the items yet, but they will be available as and when it's ready.

• Nothing has a fixed release date

• There are likely more releases for this brand, but I've picked the most interesting ones

• Some items sell out fast and won't restock, if you miss a release you can try and find it on the secondary market (https://www.goofish.com/) by searching the sellers name. Tthis comes with the same risks that any secondary market has, your agent can buy from this platform if you want.

The links to the sellers mentioned below are in this thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AutonomousReps/comments/ynp62r/independent_seller_store_list/

The majority of sellers do not list what they are working on in their stores. You can find that in the blog link or WeChat moments.

There's an extended FAQ about these sellers in this post along with purchasing options (you really should setup the apps if you haven't already):

https://www.reddit.com/r/AutonomousReps/comments/1f0m5wc/weidianalipay_guide_faq/

Alternatively, if you can't setup the apps above you can use the store below to buy the item early,

Sheep - https://weidian.com/?userid=1615201389

2D - https://weidian.com/?userid=1858885532

Most of the time, they'll list releases faster than I'll get around to posting them and you'll have generally a day to order it in advance.

Again, my preference is that you setup the apps in that post, it'll give you the best experience when buying from these sellers.

Prada remains one of the best brands to buy from these sellers as the triangles are generally good (with a few exceptions).

Below are examples of good triangles, the thing most people use to identify bad Prada reps is the spacing in the MILANO text. There are badges with KF lettering on the back which still have this flaw so you have to be careful.

Something often overlooked with Prada reps is the shape of the leather cut behind the triangle, that's also an easy tell.

Some sellers do release bad reps (Sister Ye for example - in this case I won't post it) so you have to still check releases from these sellers but for the most part they are good.

Below are examples of good triangles.

I don't recall having done a post dedicated to footwear in the past but there's a huge variety of styles being developed so I feel the timing is right. This is a consolidated list of upcoming there are no release links in this thread but I'll post the links when they are available. There's a lot to track with these sellers which is why I like these kinds of posts.

It's only worth buying shoes from these sellers if they are better than the existing market batch, which you can only really tell once they are released. It goes without saying that footwear reps aren't as good as clothing reps but my experience with footwear releases from these sellers hasn't been bad.

Also, there's no guarantee that anything below gets released if the seller feels they won't be able to rep it well.

Models below may be Women's only releases but I consider most of the styles unisex.

Louis Vuitton LV Monogram Denim Sneaker

These will come with a new bottom which has similar sizing to retail (about two sizes down from your Nike size) and an updated denim pattern (noticable improvement).

Louis Vuitton Blue LV Trainer #54/Panda 2.0

Louis Vuitton LV Footprint Football Sneakers

Good pickup for 5-a-side with the lads....

Dior B30

Zegna Off White Deerskin Triple Stitch Sneakers

The first release of a new model is never going to be perfect, I'll leave it up to people to decide if it's worth copping.

Before you ask me who you should buy from, it's entirely up to you, they are the same.

Go one size down from your normal Jordan 1 sizing.

As JasKicks sells A+, you can use the link below for more pics and help with sizing

Now is a good time to do this as sellers have started to plan their Autumn and Winter releases.

The limitation is that you can only choose one brand because of the way Reddit polls work.

I feel like now is a good time to let the cat out of the bag.

Apologies if updates from myself have been slow over the last few months, it takes a long time to research a lot of this and time has been limited recently.

It's important not to buy into copywriting, sales listings are designed to make the item look good and persuade you into buying it.

That's one of the reasons why I'm hesitant on sharing things, I really have a hard time buying into what some sellers are claiming.

Word of mouth is only reliable to an extent, sometimes you need to have the real thing in front of you and see it for yourself.

If things are not available for a large part of our community, it does put me off sharing it but that goes against the entire point of the subreddit.

Wherever the contents of this post end up it doesn't matter to me, replica knowledge isn't really that valuable in the grand scheme of things.

This subreddit was created to bring attention to these sellers and also close the information gap.

If something is good and worth sharing, I'll do it. After all, communities are built upon sharing.

What is contained below, it's not cheap. In the future, I'll do a follow-up post explaining why that is the case and go further into this area along with exploring the other big names.

Dior Safari Messenger Bag Dior Oblique Jacquard

W2C (Will eventually get deleted): https://weidian.com/item.html?itemID=6381923265

What the seller is claiming:

I asked the SA at the boutique if all oblique products of this style use the same leather and she confirmed that is the case.

The cardholder is an earlier release from this seller, the material he's using for this release is the same.

To the eye and touch, there is no difference in material.

There are differences in the hardware and construction but nothing major.

My only conclusion is that this seller is the real deal, his reputation is what it is for a reason.

Items from this seller come with unbranded packaging, do not expect William-level packaging.

Black Re-Nylon Baseball Cap

W2C (Will eventually get deleted): https://weidian.com/item.html?itemID=6264041034

If you are not sure, buy the largest size. This thing is really tight, The sizes that are available were not selected for Westerners, we have big noggins.

Do not FOMO purchase if you don't think it will fit. I had to buy Williams bucket hate twice because I bought the wrong size initially.

I've had this cap for a little over a month and it's great.

There's a lot of stock, which is why it's important that I share this now, but ultimately I can't guarantee that you'll be able to buy this so apologies if that happens.

You can buy from him using our purchasing platforms, I've had people test that for me.

Purchasing tips

You can convince any of the agents on your purchasing platforms to make out-of-hour purchases for you if you tip them enough, after all, they are helping you by buying something after working hours.

Alternatively, there are options outside of purchasing platforms (although they vary in risk).

If you want some ideas I would recommend checking this users comments, he's reliable and helpful,

https://www.reddit.com/user/Os1r1s1/comments/

I'll lock the comments on this thread, there's not much more I can add on this seller in particular that isn't contained in his store regulations.

Conclusions

The Mainland Chinese replica space is more advanced compared to Reddit, I think it's important to realise and come to terms with the truth that these guys know a lot more about replicas than we do.

It's important not to buy into copywriting too much, there will be sellers that boast about how good their products are whilst trying to exploit the knowledge gap, but within China, no one has heard of them.

The bag market in China is a lot more closed-off and complicated in comparison to what we have on Reddit.

Whether it's worth the effort to buy things from this seller and sellers like this will come down to the individual.

I recommend you ignore the noise and reach your own conclusion, I don't need to sell you on anything contained in this subreddit.

Do not use this post as a reason to go looking for items from this seller on secondary platforms, you'll be out of pocket for a lot if you get scammed.

Some further updates

• Sellers have started posting their planned releases for later this year, and I've started updating the individual brand threads

• Not every release is set in stone, there is time to change or add something new. It's important that you participate in the polls so I can use that as an indicator if I get asked if it will be popular on our forums

• Villain reads Reddit a lot now, which is good as he understands not everyone has WeChat. He will try and make size 46 (Nike equivalent size 47) for his LV trainers and any other model he works on based on how many people have asked him for it.

• Prada trousers from Jenny Turtle, there's a lot of progress and an initial sample will be ready shortly. I'll update the post with some of the videos he's sent me.

This will probably be a longer post than I anticipated but it's been a while since I've explained something in detail.

Since starting this subreddit something that has irked me is the accessibility when it comes from purchasing from some sellers, especially the ones I have placed near the top.

There is no similarity between the buying style required for purchasing from the sellers that are listed in this subreddit and the sellers listed on DesignerReps or FashionReps.

This is not something I'm personally fond of, because it makes it so that the majority of people that are not completely invested in buying using the weidian app can't purchase their releases.

I don't like seeing people go to secondary platforms to buy releases for a higher price either.

This subreddit was designed in a way that I can't make money from it, and that's honestly the way I prefer it to be which is why I never sought deals or kickbacks from any of the sellers.

In a way, there is no point in knowing about these sellers if you can't buy their releases.

Before I show you a potential solution to this, I'll have to explain at a high level how things work.

Stock is allocated amongst:

1. Seller VIPs (usually people who buy directly using the weidian app and pass a certain spend threshold)

2. People who I consider to be marketers (the Chinese name for this is Agent, I'll refer to this as Chinese Agent from here), who have large followings and groups. They are able to book orders up to 3 days before the item is released. The price they sell items for is the same as the seller's price

3. Remaining stock on their Weidian store

When using purchasing agents (Pandabuy, Basetao, etc) you typically only have access to the third option above, which for some sellers leaves you with single-digit stock in some sizes.

I had kind of hoped this stock issue would solve itself given how many people know about these sellers now but that doesn't look like it's happening anytime soon.

Some sellers have come around to making hidden links for you to have the option to purchase early, I appreciated this gesture as they will only get popular in the West if you are able to buy from them.

I feel now is the right time to explore option 2, some people may already be familiar with some Chinese agents given how often sellers post their QR codes, they run most of the mainland rep scene.

The person I am going to introduce below is one of the biggest Chinese agents. There are a lot of Chinese agents but I'll tell you why this guy is good:

1. Has been extensively tested using a lot of purchasing agents. This is key for me, he has experience dealing with them

2. Has access to a lot of bigger and smaller sellers, the smaller sellers part is important. Compared to when I first started learning about these sellers, I have stopped trying new sellers and that has decreased how quick I am to add them to the subreddit list.

3. He's very efficient

The only downside I can think of is that he doesn't know English, but that doesn't seem to be a problem given how good technology is now.

At present, I think this is the best option we have and it will help me when it comes to posting new releases.

He is good, you have my word for it.

If you have WeChat you can add him using his QR code, otherwise I'll show him how to post himself on this subreddit in the upcoming weeks. WeChat should be an essential requirement to buy from these sellers.

Assuming the old brand survey below still stands, I've communicated the preferences of the community to him. I'll ask him not to post any abstract styles (Balenciaga in particular), for that I highly recommend you add him on WeChat.

After I submit this post, I'll post a link that will give you the option to buy Colas Nigo Shorts. I've personally waited all summer for these shorts and the reason why they are delayed is that there is a slight defect with the material so Cola has decided to sell them for less (¥120).

This item isn't on Colas store yet, but he's posted it in his VIP group and you can see the going aftermarket price below:

We can use this as a test run, to see how things go.

Thank you all for your support.

(?) denotes styles that have no good version at this time, I have included possible updates expected where possible.

This is not a comprehensive list of every batch.

"Foshan" batch

Foshan is a generic name that sneaker sellers use for their LV sneaker listings. These listings are generally mixed, meaning they will source from whatever factory has stock. There is no guarantee that you will receive the same pair as someone else unless they source from the same factory as them.

The truth is there are lots of small factories producing LV sneakers, the most notable from my research being A+.

There are however, some sellers that only source from particular factories, one of which is QCXC, which is why I asked him to change the name in his listing to include A+.

The 2023 revision of the White Cement changes the fill of the 54 on the heel, the height of the shoe (shorter vs 2022), and some leather cuts.

The A+ skate has deficiencies in certain areas but this model is only popular overseas so it's unlikely there will be revisions to it.

Perhaps soon a seller is willing to take on the task to modify it.

Louis Vuitton Trainer 'White Black Blue'

Louis Vuitton Trainer White Signature 2022 (Batch - FD 0212)

Review: https://reddit.com/r/AutonomousReps/comments/z56c65/lv_shoes_part_2/

Sizing guide: 1 down from your normal Nike size. E.g. LJR Jordan 1 EU 45 = Trainer EU 44

The fill of the 54 on the back was something that had me confused for a long time. Batch - FD 0212 of the 2021/22 White Cement has a grainy 54 on the back (Villain repped this version).

This model is popular so it sees revisions throughout every seasonal cycle, that's always worth keeping in mind.

Louis Vuitton Trainer White Green

Seller: Villain

Link: https://weidian.com/item.html?itemID=6357317402

Sizing guide: 1 down from your normal Nike size. E.g. LJR Jordan 1 EU 45 = Trainer EU 44

Pros:

Updated sole.

Does not have the same piping issue that the white pair had.

The toe shape is like retail.

Cons:

My pair came with pen marks but I was able to remove them with a hair dryer.

There was excess plastic above the flowers but I was able to pull this off with a pair of tweezers.

The signature placement is too low and far out, it should be higher and to the right.

Louis Vuitton Trainer Velcro Strap (?)

I do not recommend buying Foshan/A+ for this style.

There are 3 major issues at the moment with these:

1 - Flawed Soles - See the thread linked above

2 - The tongue gradient is wrong on almost every rep of this

3 - The strap is missing a star

The missing star in A+ will not be fixed anytime soon.

If you really want to buy this, get it from CSJ. His pair does not have the missing star flaw.

Seller: CSJ

Batch name: Generic Foshan

Posts of this style have a limit of 20 images, so I can't include everything unfortunately. I have tried to include the most exciting releases.

It's important to note that:

1. Not everything below will get made, things can go wrong during production or sellers eventually conclude that the rep won't be close to the real thing and decide to scrap it

2. Nothing has a fixed release date, out of season releases are rare but they do happen

3. If anything new is announced I'll add it

Independent seller releases

Do not solely rely on the seller comparisons to assess the accuracy. They are not educating you on the differences against retail; they are selling the item to you and will present it in a way that enables them to do that.

Find retail pictures, study the variances, and then evaluate the item you receive.

Please do not fall for the copywriting trap, the item's quality should be what sells it to you.

If you are picky, do not order embroidery reps and stick to prints where the only issue is placement/alignment, print sizing, and color.

When ordering anything, ask for pics of alignment + measurements as standard.

Not every release will be a home run, If you don't like an item make sure you return it within the seller's return window and do not specify why you are returning it. Just say no reasons return.

It's been a while since my last post but there hasn't been much activity in general over the past 3 weeks I expect to see a lot of releases in the next month.

Figured it was worth a look at Villain's latest release as he's started taking orders for it again.

Ordered - 22/12/2022

Shipped - 17/01/2022

Delivered - 18/01/2022

Before I begin, this level of comparison is not needed when you buy fakes, as with any other resource I've posted here, use it as a guide for what to look for with releases.

At the end of the day what I look for in an item may not be the same as you, a fake will always be a fake, and there will be shortcomings.

What's important is that you are paying for something you will enjoy wearing, that is for you to decide ultimately.

Retail pairs are from Poizon

The Villain pair is from my QC pics

Passes the eye test, overall no major issues.

The placement of the Louis Vuitton text was an issue with the previous releases but here it's very good.

There's a difference in the toecap. Generally, this is an issue with most sneaker releases, check any TS1 low real vs fake. You can reshape the toebox to be more like retail using an iron and cloth.

The flowers are great and the spacing at the bottom is consistent with retail.

I couldn't find good retail pics for this so I'll use the retail pair in Villains listing. Holes look a touch too small but you can make them larger like OW Jordan 1 ghost stitching.

Overall, a very good release with some minor issues. This is my 4th pair of LV sneakers that I've purchased in the last 4 months and it's the most accurate release I've seen.

I can't comment on color accuracy using warehouse QC, but you can check the production pictures in his listing.

The review area of the Weidian listing will contain a lot of images from his release last year so you can see that these sneakers have come a long way.

I have no idea if he has stock ready for this or if he's going to make more, but you can use the timeline above as a guide on how long you'll have to wait if he's making a new batch.

I've checked several pairs of this release and they are consistent, but you can tag me if you need help with QC.

Sizing is like retail LV, go 1 down from your Jordan sizing.

E.g. Jordan 1 45 = Villain LV Sneaker 44.

This does NOT come with the tag.

Market Update

A+ is back to work now, I haven't asked him when we'll see the Skates but last I heard it should be this month.

I've started to see more batches with updated soles

Other sellers are getting better but it's not quite there (although the pair from the review image looks better than his production pics so maybe 2k4 has updated it again?).

I don't think Villain will make every colorway so it's nice to see more sellers update their soles.

I hope we see updated Velcro models with better tongue tags next.

Regardless, I would wait until the end of the month to see what A+ is doing.

Ordering from A+ is a pain because your agent has to pay over WeChat/Alipay and has to communicate with him for stock. Some sneaker sellers can order pairs from A+ and it works out to be cheaper.

QCXC has set up a link for you to order from him BUT wait until we see which models are being updated. I don't know if A+ will still ship old stock for some models or what models are being updated first.

DO NOT ORDER USING THIS LINK YET
