China is not a country known for authenticity when it comes to luxury items. In fact, many tourists, expats and locals flock to markets that are known for selling rip-offs of sought-after designer goods. These fakes vary in quality and price; at the bottom of the tier sits a misspelled ‘Channel’ T-shirt in polyester, and at the top is a handbag crafted into the same shape as your favorite Birkin at a fraction of the cost.

Huimei Clothing Market

Huimei Market, a ten minute walk away from the chaotic Guangzhou Railway Station, is one of the first category of markets. Aside from the wannabe Gucci handbags circa 1990 that darken its corners, this place has much more to offer. It is five stories of 8 meter squared shop fronts piled high with clothes, shoes, jewelry, sunglasses and handbags in every style imaginable.

These are copycat items, but it is not clear from whose runway they are stolen. Skater skirts and hot pants in every color for 50RMB (or less, if you are a prolific bargainer) hang beside demure lacey dresses and candy-colored plastic brogues.

Then there’s the costume jewelry; chunky plastic necklaces and unapologetically ostentatious rings glisten beside streams of kitsch diamante earrings that will turn your ears green if you wear them for too long.

Everything is bad quality; this is fast fashion. Don’t come to Huimei Clothing Market looking for an investment piece you’ll be wearing through your adult years; come here to find your outfit for Friday night on Xingsheng Lu.

Baiyun World Leather Trading Center

If it’s a faux designer handbag you’re after, hop back on the metro for one station to San Yuan Li and head to the Baiyun World Leather Trading Center. Floor upon floor of handbags in every color and a multitude of styles can be found here, the nucleus of Guangzhou’s fakes-in-leather trade.

Quality is relatively high; the bags are real leather, and zips and linings are convincing enough to the inexpert eye. Prices are reasonable if we compare to the high street, and you spend a fraction of what it would cost to buy an original.

Because so many luxury brands are manufactured in Guangzhou, you'll find that a lot of the fakes are actually made from the exact same materials that the authentic brands are made of. Whether the materials magically go "missing" from the factories to be made into cheap knock-offs is a myth to be proven.

For example, a large Kenzo tote costs 300RMB, a small Prada Saffiano tote is 320RMB, a leather ‘man bag’ 550RMB; a Celine mini luggage 480RMB; a Burberry tote 580RMB. Don’t be fooled by the touts lurking around outside waiting to trap unsuspecting tourists with their knock-offs; it’s safer to shop inside, where there is certainly a lot more choice.

Handbags provide the widest shopping selection, but there are also suitcases and sunglasses as well as leather purses and belts on sale. There are a few stalls that sell jewelry and shoes if you're in the market for these accessories too.

Shopping tips

Remember to go to these markets ready with your best bargaining techniques - Sales assistants range from bored to pushy, but they all want to profit as much as possible. Don’t be fooled by their flattery – they may tell you you look ‘like a movie star’ (it always happens to me in China when I wear lipstick) but it’s only to get you to spend.

The shops open around 10:00am. The earlier you go, the better off you'll be, as these markets pack up with locals and foreigners very quickly all week long. Make sure you keep a close eye on your wallets or handbags too, stories of pickpockets are rampant.

A lot of the units in each place are selling the same thing, so I would advise a look around the whole market before buying anything to make sure you secure the best deal. Some of the units have gone for a more sparse, boutique-style look in their set up, an attempt to recreate the experience of buying a real designer item. These smarter looking places are much less busy than those with chaotic shop floors, handwritten signs, and crucially, lower prices.
