* Full disclosure, I contacted Crush on Retro first and have kept in touch since June while I was trying to figure out my first order. I was offered the sneakers for free but the rest I purchased myself.
Stay tuned for my first impressions of what I ordered.
There is no question that there are a lot of good artisans, manufacturers, producers in China but the issue has always been the language barrier and finding the right seller. Crush on Retro (@crushonretro) is an E-commerce site focused on vintage inspired menswear. The company was founded in 2021 is located in Hangzho, Zhejian province in China. They deal directly with factories and suppliers.
I actually discovered Crush on Retro during my May holiday in Seoul South Korea. This time the other Korean Tailor (@salvatore.tailor) was wearing a nice western denim shirt he purchased from Aliexpress. I had to login in to the Korean version to see all the clothing options that were available. When I found the seller, they unfortunately didn’t offer shipping to Italy. I did however manage to find their direct website with their curated collection and they also directly offered shipping overseas including to Europe.
