Surely there are lots of different bags markets but here is on that shine with better quality and collections, no-name goods with customizing and branding options. The cheapest price range (and low quality) is in the basement, first and second floors filled with quality bags but with higher prices. Third floor — factories' showrooms where anyone can place small quantity order (minimum quantity order - 100 pieces). Despite that, there is also a big choice of watch copies and clothes, we do not recommend doing it there for a single reason: this market is not specialized in watches these items are overpriced and better to do it Baiyun World Leather Trading Centre.
