Croquis

[emixam]

Holla Sufu,

I want to introduce you one of my favourite brand here in China :

CROQUIS

http://www.croquis.com.cn

A chinese designer label, which is really dope ! Very fashionable, wearable and simple....

i like that first du's hair.

Yeah ,I live in china too and I love this brand...

But some clothes are too much "dior inspired"... you know what i mean ...

Not very good quality but not too expensive and good design !

[emixam]

dior inspired...yeah one of their denim has the same darts ! no good...

However quality is definitely here, especially considering the prices.

There is a shop in Wuhan too ??

[bibipuerk]

For china and chinese people, its really expensive ... but compared to western prices ,its not expensive at all...

In wuhan , there is just a corner in a department store...

I also saw a store in Xi'an... Next week ,i'm going to beijing, i hope i can find some interesting clothing ...

Thanks for this. We need to see up and coming Chinese labels. This is the future of asia. Shame its so derivative.

the leather jacket I bought, sorry for the crappy pics....really good hand feel

Djrajio : they also have a shop in Japan. I assume in Tokyo.

Also in France and other countries, but I cant remember.

[bibipuerk]

In france ? I don't think so ....

Their jeans would be considered as dior's fake ...

If Croquis has a shop in france, I'd like to know where?

[emixam]

well thats what the sales assistant told me...shops in France and Japan.

I know they are sold out of China through select shops....but in any case, they told me prices are much cheaper in China ! So no need to buy it in France while you are here !

living in bj atm, would love to check this out, what are we talking when we say cheap? bc yeah chinese people think a 20kuai shirt is gui as hell

anyway ill poke around for a store here, been kinda disappointed with fashion in china so far

[evonzz]

there is a Croquis in Jianwai Soho near Guamao in Beijing.

Check out the Village at Sunlitun in BJ for some mainstream brands .... and uniqlo.

Behind The Village is the original 5-story shopping centre of Sunlitun called 3.3. Cruise around for some cute little boutiques for women, men, old young....something for everyone there....

Just got back from Beijing a few weeks ago. Croquis was a stand out local label, but very 'inspired' by Rick Owens (guess they moved on from Dior). I will post a pic of some shorts I bought which are exactly the same as RO swing pants.

The prices were good (particularly on sale - 40% off when I was there), and so far I have had no problems with quality.

[emixam]

quality is good especially with their leather and woven items. The knitted items are ok, but not so great.

Last season was so much RO inspired, especially the jackets.

[Ivans On High]

They had exact copies of air cuts, and lots of scubas, and bombers which where straight from 'Crust'.

The leather stuff is nice. I bought a really nice bag, with super soft washed leather. They also had a great pair of leather shoes (not disimilar to to the augusta round toe derbies), but unfortunately the biggest size they stock is 43.

Customer service was also very good.
