Baiyun Leather Market: Wholesale Hub in Guangzhou

Guangzhou Leather Market Shopping Guide

Quick Shopping Strategy

For time-pressed shoppers or beginners who can’t spot quality differences:

• Head straight to 3rd floor – Several reputable stalls can give you a good reference point
• Note down stall numbers of favorites – You’ll likely lose them in the maze-like market

Price & Quality Guide

• Fair price range: ¥1,000-2,000 for good quality (non-Hermès)
• Red flags:
  • Prices over ¥3,000-4,000 (unless authentic Hermès)
  • Over-bargaining may result in inferior quality
  “You get what you pay for” – vendors won’t ship good stock if price is cut too low

Quality Check Essentials

1. Hardware Inspection (Critical for LV):
   • Premium bags use solid steel hardware (more expensive)
   • Judge by weight and tactile feel
2. Material Focus:
   • Chanel/YSL: Examine leather quality
   • Hermès: Best avoided (high risk of fakes)
