It's no surprise, really. Long term fake vintage reseller on Etsy DREAMWEAVER4U2 last featured in this blog in March 2019 is still at it: listing cheapie Chinese products still available for sale NEW on sites like AliExpress as 20+ year old dead stock from storage Vintage. But using the manufacturer's stock photo for the product gives it all away. I mean, if you are going to be a fraudulent vintage seller, you should at least rub a couple of brain cells together while listing the item.
Check it out! Titled "Upscale NEW Vintage", this contemporary cap sleeve blouse with cutwork design at the neckline is pretending to be at least 20 years old. (It's not!). Priced at $18. 2 units in stock, one each in beige and blue. Both are size M, which the seller says is a US women's size. It's not (here we go again with misrepresented sizing). Seller says the top measures 16 inches pit to pit, or 32 inches total. This makes it US size XS (0-2). This is a Chinese size M but a US size XS -- US sizes can be estimated by going down 2 sizes from the Chinese label.
The one image used in the listing was "borrowed" from the Chinese manufacturer.
Here's the same item on AliExpress where it is available in Chinese sizes S, M, L, XL, and XXL -- or US equivalent sizes XXS, XS, S, M, and L. Priced at $3.59 to $4.59, and offered in 10 color options. The listing dates the item to 2017, which makes it Etsy legal Vintage in 2037. It's got more than a few years to go. Sold out on DHGATE. Was supposedly sold at H & M.
Will add more fake vintage items here as they are listed.
