QC
Key Checkpoints for Accessories
Plating Durability
Mid-tier jewelry plating lasts 6-12 months; avoid water exposure to maximize longevity.
UV Label Accuracy
Sunglass UV400 labels are common but unverified; treat reps as fashion-first accessories.
Leather Quality
Bonded leather and PU dominate budget belts; genuine leather is rare but specified by some suppliers.
Stitch Count
Bag stitching density at stress points (straps, zippers) indicates construction quality.
Watch Out
Common Mistakes Buyers Make
Expecting rep jewelry plating to last years without care
Using rep sunglasses as certified protective eyewear
Buying leather accessories without verifying material claims
Beginner Tip
Start with low-cost items (socks, small bags) to learn the warehouse photo process. Save jewelry and sunglasses for after you understand plating and labeling variance.
