Everything here I bought directly from Taobao itself, without an agent!!! My mum and I have bought directly from Taobao 4 times already, and so far so good. Except for our 3rd batch of items, which took more than a month to arrive..... Because the warehouse had moved locations and forgot to send our package out ಠ_ಠ. The fourth (and most recent) batch took less than a week to come though!!
Buying directly from Taobao is like:
1. You pay for the items
2. Wait for the Taobao sellers to send the items to the Taobao warehouse in China
3. Pay for handling/shipping fee for the items to get from China to the Singapore warehouse
4. Wait for items to be delivered to your doorstep.
Shipping fees wise, it's probably slightly cheaper to buy directly from Taobao instead of through an agent (e.g. SGshop, 65Daigou). If I'm not wrong, the first 1kg of items is ~SGD7, and the subsequent 500g ~SGD3???? For reference, 1 article of clothing is usually ~100-200g, and bags will be heavier at ~500g or more.

黑色 (black) ¥42
After shipping, this bag was probably only $10!!! Not sure of the authenticity but a lot of things are made in China anyway... Overall I'm really pleased about the quality. The zipper has a few rusty parts and zipping around those areas isn't so smooth, but for $10 I really don't care??? Everything else is good.
Not sure if the black "pleather" exterior will shed/come off because I have another bag similar to this and it happened to that bag :(.
This bag does not fit A4.

银色。iPhone5/5s (silver) ¥28
Sparkly iPhone case that's super pretty!!!!!! I can't use this now though hahaha. Still using my aunt's iPhone 4 ever since my own iPhone 5 dropped in the toilet bowl in May (has it been that long??? ╥﹏╥)
Free dust plug from the seller which I thought was quite cute haha

Size S ¥34
For only $7, I'm very pleased with this denim jacket too!! It's not stiff at all and actually really "flexible", so it's not uncomfortable at all. Has functional pockets and rose embossed buttons which I'm not a huge fan off, but doesn't bother me too much la.
There are no holes for the buttons because that's how they show you that the item is brand new/never been used before. You're supposed to cut it yourself haha.

¥9.90
Small stains but (as everything else in this haul) it was so cheap so??????? The shirt is also quite sheer, but I really like the cutting!! Some (cheap) tees from Taobao have really horrible cutting so I'm glad this didn't.

Size 6 黑底大花 (black floral) ¥19.99

Size XS 黑色 (black) & 条纹 (stripes) ¥12.99
Also have a striped one of this top, but I just wore it so it was in the wash. I realllllyyyyyyyy like this because the neckline isn't revealing. The top also ends right at the smallest part of my waist so it's super flattering!!! Shorts are from Pull&Bear btw and they fit so well!!!!!

麻灰 (grey) ¥39.99

¥16.80
Comes with 2 slits and an inner slip that's a decent length. This skirt is selling for $21 here but yours truly got it for less than $4

Definitely wouldn't pay anything more than that because this is the kind of thing I'd wear 1-2 times and not wear anymore hahahaha.

棕色 (brown) ¥25.20
MY BELOVED $5 BAG HAHAHAHAHAHA SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS LA BECAUSE IT WAS SO CHEAP. There are a few (barely noticeable) stains/marks and idk if I was the one who caused it but $5????? So cheap????? It's also a really good size, fits A4 and the metal hardware is a really pretty gold.

Size XS 靛蓝色 (Indigo blue) ¥42.99
This is up on my Carousell account because it's too big for me and my butt (or lack thereof) (◕︵◕)
I mean it looks acceptable from the front la but it doesn't look very nice from the side?? So upsetting because I really, really like this skirt la. I'm selling this for way more than I bought it for (still cheaper than others) on Carousell so don't buy from me la ok, buy from Taobao HAHA.
Sizing problems aside, this skirt is quite stretchy and very comfortable :-)
______________
Size S 牛仔蓝 (denim blue) ¥26.99
Fits perfectly everywhere else but like the above skirt, this is also too big for my waist :-(
It's not stiff like actual denim, and it's quite stretchy too so really comfy!!! I already sold this on Carousell so bye skirt ヘ('◇'、)/
I actually have a rather small waist (23inch/58cm) so it's quite hard to find bottoms that fit my waist anyway hahaha. I think I've learnt my lesson HAHA I'm really not going to buy any more skirts on Taobao unless they have a stretchy waistband. Shorts are generally still okay, but skirts and dresses are way harder??

白色 (white) ¥21.80 (out of stock)
I THOUGHT THIS WAS A ROMPER HAHAHA so when it came as 2 pieces I was like ⊙д⊙ ???????????????? Doubt I'll wear it as a "romper" though, because it covers my waist and is really unflattering for my body shape!! The shorts are actually quite nice la, if it wasn't so sheer. I think I can get away with wearing the top as an actual shirt though. Even though I really don't like the cutting of the shirt, I do like the crochet part.

Size S 灰色 (grey) & 白色 (white) ¥17.99
Didn't like this because I don't like my shirts to be soft and stretchy...... I know a lot of people like it like that (cause comfy) but it makes me feel like it will just lay very weirdly and not flattering la. The supposedly "white" shirt came as this cream colour which really does not suit my skin colour!!!!!!! (◕︵◕)
I really like this online shop in general though because the other items I got (the cardigan and 3 crop tops), I'm especially happy with. It's also generally really, cheap so I recommend this seller!!!!
