US consumers have started smelling these plans for the last few days due to many Tiktok videos of Chinese producers, explaining how luxury products from China. The videos claim that many of the highest luxury brands like clothes, bags, shoes and accessories are originally prepared in China. Then the items are delivered to the brand’s native country as Italy or France, where they are transformed after the brand’s label is applied.
The US and Chinese Tiktok creators then pointed to e-commerce programs such as DHGATE and TAOBAO as a way to buy directly from Chinese manufacturers that cause a huge mark of luxury brands.
Already aware of the growing prices like popular software like a subdivided projects, which US consumers quickly downloaded these alternatives.
In April, Taobao’s estimated downloads amounted to about 185,000 – 514% increased during the same period last month during the same period, according to the new data of the App Intelligence provider.
