Getting Started in the Replica Business: Advice Needed

Hello and thank you for welcoming me to this forum.

2025 marks the beginning of new projects for me, as I plan to dive into the replica business.

I’ve done quite a bit of research on the subject, including reading numerous posts about it here on BHW. Do you have any other sources of information you would recommend?

One question I haven’t been able to find an answer to: does the end buyer know they are purchasing a replica and make the purchase knowingly, or is this something that’s hidden from them, leading them to believe they are buying something authentic?

Thank you for your help, and let’s all support each other for this new year!

If you want to have a sustainable business I'd avoid replicas. In the merchandise business it's a long term game. Replica is short term. your rep will be trashed quick and you gotta start over.

You can always sell stuff that looks like replicas but no logos, that's a legit business.

Thanks for your reply

My first question is how to find a quality supplier?

Sustainable and replica? In the same sentence?


Hmm... fooked before you've started

Why don't you sell the originals? There are Italian dropshipping suppliers who sell top brands you can use. If you can market replicas you can definitely market the originals, and of course its also sustainable
