Taobao Haul: Emoda

So I've been in love with the fashion brand EMODA for the longest time. I am constantly browsing this site, checking for new items and updates. What sucks is that sometimes the items I want go out of stock so quickly even before I get a chance to look at it! And I don't think Emoda even restocks ;___; So I went on Taobao and I was surprised to see that they had a bunch of Emoda items! And they had items that was out of stock *_____* I was in heaven. However, these items were in Chinese Yuan and when converted, ranged between $15-20 dollars (whereas as the original would cost $50+)! Surely, these must be fake. But at such cheap prices, I couldn't help myself and grabbed a couple items~



Taobao does not ship overseas so I used a taobao agent, Pruany, to help me order. Their service fee is pretty cheap (8%) compared to other services I've found which were usually about 10%. I've used their service before to order from Taobao and I had no problems, but this time I ran into some problems. First of all, an item that I ordered went out of stock and I asked the agent to replace that item from another seller that was the exact same item and price. The agent refused to complete my request and told me, "No, just order." I was a bit shocked and a bit angry because I was a paying customer. But I just bit the bullet and went ahead with my order. And secondly, my package was missent so it took a whole extra week to sort that out. There were a lot of hiccups, but I was glad to finally receive my package.


After I opened the box, the clothes were packaged in small plastic bags


I ordered a total of five items!


This knit cost about $24


This collar shirt cost about $15


This turtle neck cost about $15


This sweater cost about $18


This parka cost about $40. My favorite purchase of the haul!

The price pretty much reflects the quality of the clothing, but they are actually very good replicas! My favorite purchase is probably the boa parka. It feels a bit cheap, but I didn't really expect much with that price. I must admit, it does look a lot like the original! I wish I could've purchased the original though. :(

Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchases!
