Joyabuy Finds Spreadsheet
If you're looking to buy authentic Dolce & Gabbana products at competitive prices, 1688 (Alibaba's domestic B2B platform) is a great resource. However, navigating the platform as an international buyer can be challenging due to language barriers and shipping restrictions. That's where AcBuy, a trusted Chinese anti-counterfeit purchasing agent, comes in. This guide will walk you through the entire process.
Before using AcBuy's service, you should first identify quality D&G products on 1688. We recommend checking product certifications and supplier reviews. For a curated list of verified Dolce & Gabbana items with direct 1688 links, refer to this helpful spreadsheet: 1688 Luxury Spreadsheet.

Traditional purchasing agents may rush through orders, but AcBuy has built proprietary counterfeit detection procedures specific to Italian luxury goods:
| Verification Stage | Description | Avg. Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier Background Check | Investigates 1688 seller's established history and upstream supply relationships | 1-3 business days |
| Batch Sample Photos | Requests high-resolution close-ups of current inventory showing key authentic markers | 24-48 hours |
| Peer Comparison Testing | Compares received items against known authentic models before shipping internationally | 3-5 business days |
After product verification, AcBuy handles all logistics:
Many international customers report satisfaction with building long-term relationships with specific 1688 suppliers through repeated AcBuy-facilitated purchases. The shared spreadsheet (linked here) continues to be valuable for tracking the performance consistency of rated suppliers across multiple purchase batches.
Would I use this method again? Having sourced three D&G handbags and several accessories successfully, the answer is yes—but with key advantage points learned: Never skip the verification steps AcBuy provides, and always cross-reference the 1688 Luxury Spreadsheet whenever considering new suppliers. The anti-counterfeit measures inevitably lead to higher costs than unreliable agents, but when dealing with designer items where marketplace purchase inherently carries risk, this protection offers reassuring value for serious buyers seeking authentic Dolce & Gabbana products directly sourced from China's wholesale markets.
