Taobao Haul 2 - Fake Liz Lisa, INGNI Replica Clothing
Hi everyone!I'm still in the middle of my exams right now, I just had one today and I decided to take the night off to relax before I study for my next exam. This post is VERY overdue, I've been wanting to do it for so long but since I was so busy this semester, I didn't get the chance to.
After about a month when I came back from Japan this year, I did another Taobao haul. For those of you who do not know what Taobao is, it's like a Chinese version of Ebay. I like shopping on there because items are cheap, and you can find very good replicas for Japanese brands such as Liz Lisa.
Read my blog post of my first Taobao Haul
As most of you guys, I LOVE Liz Lisa clothing, but unfortunately not being in Japan, it is hard to get your hands on the authentic clothing. There are way too many sites these days selling fakes claiming that they get the Liz Lisa clothes from the factory directly themselves. Don't trust any of the sites that sell Liz Lisa, all of them are fake except for the Liz Lisa Rakuten store, or the Official Liz Lisa store itself. If you guys aren't sure about a site selling Liz Lisa, you can leave a comment in this blog post and I'll get back to you ASAP about it. Most of the other sites selling Liz Lisa get their stock from Taobao, and then charge 3x the price for the same item. I've been ripped off before, so it's not a nice feeling. I don't mind buying Liz Lisa fakes (hey, looks almost the same as the original for about 1/3 of the price), but I really hate sites that claim they sell authentic Liz Lisa but are just ripping people off. I have refused sponsorship from various stores as well (even though free Liz Lisa clothes is tempting), I don't believe in supporting any shop that tries to lie to their customers, and I don't want to lie to my readers and subscribers.
If you guys want, I can do a separate blog post/video about how to order on Taobao if you guys are still confused on how to order from there.
Anyway, onto the haul~
The reason why I wanted to order on Taobao again shortly after coming back from Japan, was because Liz Lisa released these REALLY cute suspender shorts, but they were going to come out to Japan just after I left :( So I had to stalk Taobao for a while until they got them in stock!
Liz Lisa Suspender Shorts in Apricot
I love them so much! I couldn't decide what colour to get them in.. so I just got 2 colours :x The material is great, just love everything about these shorts!
Liz Lisa Suspender Shorts in Pink
I prefer the apricot one more, but I still love the pink one!
Liz Lisa Spring 2012 Blue Polka Dot Shorts
These shorts were part of the Liz Lisa Spring 2012 collection. I didn't end up buying them in Japan because they were super pricey (close to $100aud), so I ended up getting one on Taobao. Unfortunately I don't like them very much, I think the leg parts look way too big and wide on me
Liz Lisa Brown Shorts
These shorts are okay, I don't love them but I do like them.
Liz Lisa Spring 2012 Pink Dress
This is another item that was from the Spring 2012 collection. I saw this while in Japan but didn't pay much attention to it. I decided to get it on Taobao, and I actually quite like this item. I think I'm going to get another one in green when I do another Taobao haul. The material isn't as good quality as the authentic one, but it still looks nice.
Liz Lisa Bow Top
I was disappointed in this one. The material was cheap and I feel that it's not going to last very long :/
Liz Lisa Winter 2011 Brown Lace Up Boots
Also decided to get some shoes this time on Taobao! I already have these boots in beige, which I bought in the Liz Lisa store in Hong Kong, however I really wanted the brown ones too. Liz Lisa only carry sizes M and L for shoes (I'm a size S, *sigh*) so I ended up getting the beige ones in size M. Because they were really expensive, I didn't want to spend money on another pair when it doesn't really fit comfortably, so I decided to get the brown pair on Taobao. I really love these boots, I can definitely feel a difference in quality of material if I compare the real and fake ones, but I think that it still looks REALLY good!
Liz Lisa Brown Bow Boots
These boots are quite cute. A bit disappointed with the size, it said it's size 36 but for some reason it was a bit bigger than expected. If I wear them with thicker socks they probably will be ok.
Another Japanese brand that I have been liking lately is INGNI (pronounced INGU), not sure why it is spent like it is, but yeah when we were in Japan we asked a shop assistant how to pronounce the name and that's what they said lol. Anyway, INGNI is another gyaru brand, it's not as girly as Liz Lisa, it is probably more mature looking but I really love their styles. The price range is probably about the same as Liz Lisa. There are quite a lot of INGNI fakes on Taobao too, which are also about 1/3 of the price.
INGNI Long shirt-dress
Love this dress! It's simple but it just makes you look sophisticated.
INGNI Blouse
I really like this shirt, it goes well with a lot of clothes! Material is nice as well! One thing though if you get this shirt, tighten up the buttons before you wear it. I had a problem with almost all my buttons falling off when I first wore this shirt.
Heart Blouse
Don't think this is a brand, but I thought this heart pattern blouse was just so cute so I had to get it! I really like it!
I also got a few belts but I forgot to take photos of them. They are seen in the photos with the heart blouse and the INGNI long shirt-dress photo. The belts were super cheap (around $2 each I think?) so I'm really happy with them!
Hope you guys like this post, if you have any questions feel free to post in the comments section and I will answer them when I can!

ingu? never would have guessed. anyway, i'm very jealous of your haul; it's awesome. i might invest in a haul myself, and would greatly appreciate a "how to", when you find the time. i've always wanted a pair of suspender shorts, and now you have two, lol. i'm really loving their summer/late spring collection. shipping is so expensive from the main store, i can only get two or three things at a time. anyway, thanks again, good luck with the rest of exams.
Replywhich seller did you get the Liz Lisa Suspender Shorts in Apricot from? I really like it a lot ^_^
Replyand is the Liz Lisa Suspender Shorts really stretchy? is it like a small- medium or small - large? I was wondering because I'm afraid if it won't fit me :(
ReplyI've been loving suspender shorts lately ^^ You can buy a lot more if you get some from Taobao, I'll do the "how to" next week when I'm done with exams ^^
ReplyI got them from here: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=14082401256 They seem to only have 1 colour now though, but if you look around on taobao I'm sure you'll find other sellers selling them.
ReplyThey are stretchy, I'd say about a size S-M though
ReplyI really love the last two blouses! You look great :)

ReplyINGNI items from too? They're adorable!
hi kim! i love the second pair of boots! there are so many sellers on Taobao who seel that style.can you tell me which seller you got the second pair of boots from? thank you so much:)
ReplyHEY! I love your hauls and youtube vids! Just wanna know if you have some advice for taller girls? I'm pretty tall for an asian girl in my country (~167.5cm) and when I go on Taobao to search, the clothes tend to be waaaay to short (>_<) Any advice on where to get clothes/shops to recommend?
ReplyHey Kim, I really love your Liz Lisa suspender shorts & I would like to buy one too, but... I clicked on the link where you bought yours and realized that they dont sell it anymore (am I right?). That's what makes me upset... I also tried to search another seller from taobao, but I couldn't find one. Are there another sellers?
ReplyI would write the seller, if he would sell them again, but I dont know how to write him. :(

ReplyOMG, I love the brown lace up boots, I definitely want them *-*
ReplyHi Kim,
ReplyI ran into your blog while doing some research on LizLisa clothing..I have never personally bought any Japanese clothing from Taobao, however I have seen someone who had pretty successful experiences buying real Japanese clothing that directly come from the factory...
Here are some tricks she shared:
1. These sellers are usually located in ShanDong province (ShanDong is very close to Japan and labour fees are inexpensive, so the factories are usually there)
2. These seller never have a large quantity of a single item. The reason that these Taobao sellers are able to obtain certain items directly from the factory is because those items have defects..and of course, the quantity of these items with defects must be limited
3. It's impossible for these sellers to have every single item from a certain brand/a certain season..If you see a Taobao store that has all LizLisa clothings, they must not be authentic...
hope it helps =)
Can you tell me if these are real? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Liz-Lisa-Original-Thigh-High-Lace-Up-Boots-Cream-and-Coffee-Limited-/171188003145?pt=US_Women_s_Shoes&var=&hash=item27db99a149
ReplyI looked up the pictures and they are from a taobao seller but this seller just put their name over the url of the taobao seller on the picture
ahahaha they pronounce INGNI as just ING? that might be why it's ingu xD
Replychecking through all your liz lisa posts atm, I'm on a new liz lisa craze! Just bought a whole heap of stuff from the secret sale this past weekend, but it's hella expensive so I'm hoping for another way to get cheaper liz lisa QAQ
