Hi everyone!
Today I bring you a compilation of Taobao and Tmall shops that I’ve been collecting along time.
At this point, I bet everyone knows about Taobao, but what about Tmall? Tmall is basically the same as Taobao, but the sellers are mostly the factories producing the items itselves. I have heard that for this reason, the quality of the items should be even better than that of Taobao items, but to date, I’ve seen no difference, I mean, I found Taobao items were as good as Tmall ones, so if you pay attention to the seller score, you can order from Taobao or Tmall indistinctly.
So, how does the score ranking work for Taobao and Tmall? It’s very simple. In the case of Taobao, you only have to have a look at the symbols every seller shop has: hearts, diamonds, blue crowns and golden crowns. When sellers get a positive review, they start to accumulate hearts, up to 5, and then they get diamonds, and so on, so five golden crowns would be the maximum: a shop that sells a lot and always gets good reviews.
You can see in the picture a review of Taobao score system. The numbers in the left are the positive reviews the shop received, and in the right you have the equivalent score in symbols.
In the case of Tmall, the score is even easier to understand. The seller gets a score ranging from 0 to 5, the closer to 5, the better. And that’s all!!!
However, I wanted to highlight that, while it is safer to choose a seller with at least one blue crown (that’s what I usually do), you don’t always have to avoid sellers with lower scores. I mean, imagine that you want an item that’s not very usual. You could expect to find that the seller selling it has, let’s say, two diamonds while at the same time, when you look at the specific reviews of the item you want, it has very good reviews. It’s a matter of logic. And sometimes, some shops are very new and it’s impossible they have the same positive reviews that a shop who’s been open for five years! So, if you are looking for an item and you can’t find a seller with very good reviews, you can give other sellers a try, just look at the specific reviews of the item you want.
In general, I would say to not trust a seller who sells the item you want for incredibly cheap prices (like if you see a Liz Lisa replica dress for 3$), UNLESS that seller and item has MANY reviews and some photos for you to see if it’s worth it. With time, you will learn how to choose sellers, don’t worry! If it’s your first buy in Taobao or Tmall, then I would go for a minimum of one blue crown (or a minimum of 4.7/5 in Tmall) for you to be calm about the items you are getting, and don’t forget having a look at the photos the buyers post in the review area of the item!!!!
So after these considerations, here you have the shops list, ordered by clothes style or item type. I hope this is interesting and useful for you!
Hime Gyaru/Fairy Kei style
- Bobon21 (http://bobon21.taobao.com/): Gyaru style clothes and accessories, some fairy-style clothes.
- Candy Rain (http://520vivian.taobao.com/): I love this Taobao Shop, the design it’s really beautiful and the clothes make you almost feel like you were inside a Disney film. I would say it’s more Fairy Kei than Hime Gyaru.
- Sweetheart (http://sweetbaby1102.taobao.com/): Smaller shop but has some Liz Lisa clothes replicas and other replica clothes and some Lolita styles.

Edit: I recently bought three clothes from this seller and it seems like all of them were originals but they had small flaws, I however think it’s worth because I was able to fix the flaws easily and I got two Axes Femme items (a blouse and a dress) and a Repipi armario blouse.
