5 Weidian “Secret Codes” for Luxury Bargains

① Surplus Stock (“外贸原单”)

• What It Means: Leftover materials from brand factories, no logos/minor flaws. Price: 10-30% of retail.
• Search: “Surplus + Brand Code” (e.g., “Prada原单(means Prada surplus),” “MK尾货(means MK leftovers”). Avoid full brand names to bypass filters.
• Risk: 90% are fake. True surplus is rare—luxury factories destroy defective items.

② Factory Direct (“代工厂”)

• Example: Factories like Times Leather (makes Prada/Coach) now sell directly. Search “东莞皮具代工厂 Dongguan leather factory” or “青岛外贸尾单Qingdao export surplus.”
• Verify: Ask for factory certificates or customs documents.

③ Minor Flaws (“微瑕品”)

• Deal Alert: Packaging dents, misprinted tags. Price: 30-50% off. Search “微瑕品”
• Red Flag: Sellers hiding flaws. Demand close-up photos of stitching, logos, and hardware.

④ Off-Season Clearance (“反季清仓”)

• When to Buy: Winter clothes in March-April, summer styles in August-September. Search “反季羽绒服 off-season down jackets” or “过季羊绒 clearance wool coats.”
• Pro Tip: Buy timeless basics (white shirts, jeans) to mix with trendy pieces.

⑤ Code Words (“驴”=LV)

• Decoded: “驴Donkey” = L** V**, “马Horse” = He**ès, “C家 C House” = Ch***l. Search “老花 monogram” or “凯莉包 Kelly bag.”
• Warning: L**V** has no factories in China! Most “surplus” listings are replicas.
