Fakelab is a Yupoo seller known for one brand, Off-White, discussed on r/FashionReps, r/RepNewbies and r/fashionreps2. We hold 149 comments from five threads, six of which are about fakelab specifically. Unusually for a record this small, they arrange themselves into a story with two acts, and the second act is unfinished.
This page is the evidence, not a verdict. We have not bought from fakelab, we hold no catalogue for them, and nothing below is a rating.
Act one, September 2022: the best OW seller
The 2022 thread is a review of an Off-White tee, and it is titled after a 23-day wait. The reply that scored highest brushes the wait aside:
Nah fakelab got way better quality he’s the best ow seller right now don’t worry
u/Tys2k, r/FashionReps, 3 September 2022
A second commenter, since deleted, agreed on the quality and then said the quiet part:
same with a tee I ordered Fakelab is the best OW seller but his shipping speeds are awful. Definitely a chance for someone else take his title lol Im all but ready to refund mine
u/[deleted], r/FashionReps, 3 September 2022
Two people in one thread, both calling him the best Off-White seller available at that moment, and one of them within reach of asking for his money back over the wait. That is the whole of the positive record: a reputation for the product and a warning about the timeline, from the same conversation, on the same day.
Act two, May 2024: the disappearance thread
Twenty months later, the record picks up in a thread on r/fashionreps2 whose title is simply that fakelab disappeared. The account that opened it, since deleted, laid out what had gone wrong:
So currently, Superbuy is also not allowing purchases from FakeLab as it’s a ‘offline’ store (not weidian/ taobao). FakeLab was responding until a couple of days ago (1 response in 2 days) but now he’s completely vanished. He promised me he’s going to send me weidian links but then no sign of him since a week.
u/[deleted], r/fashionreps2, 19 May 2024
Somebody else in the same thread was in the same position:
Fakelab now responding? I send a request on wechat but zero
u/Pleasant-Habit-7287, r/fashionreps2, 19 May 2024
Two buyers, one thread, both waiting on a reply that had not come. That is where our record of fakelab ends. We hold nothing at all after May 2024 — no confirmation that he came back, and no confirmation that he did not.
Why "offline" is the load-bearing word
The most useful comment in the whole set is the one explaining the mechanics rather than passing judgement:
offline means buy from WeChat directly without weidian or tabao This not mean selller not online You can use Superbuy order and ask fakelab send you weidian links to you
u/OperationNarrow6474, r/fashionreps2, 19 May 2024
An offline seller has no public marketplace listing. There is no Weidian or Taobao page for an agent to buy from, so every order runs through the seller personally: you message him, he generates a link, you pass that link to your agent. When the seller stops replying, the entire purchase route stops with him — there is no storefront left standing on its own.
That is the structural risk in the 2024 thread, and it is worth understanding before you approach any seller who works this way. Our link decoder can recover an agent link from almost any dead marketplace URL, but it cannot manufacture a listing that was never published. How to buy reps covers the normal agent flow this seller sits outside of.
The question nobody answered
Does fakelab have a specific OW hoodie that is no different from retail?
u/Oppuary, r/FashionReps, 3 September 2022
Our corpus holds no reply. It is worth saying plainly anyway: a replica is not the retail garment and nobody selling one can make it so. Comments in this hobby that claim an item is indistinguishable are opinions formed by someone looking at their own purchase, and they are the least reliable sentences in any thread.
What the evidence does not cover
Six comments across two conversations, one in 2022 and one in 2024, is a thin and lopsided record. Every positive line comes from a single thread about a single t-shirt. Every negative line comes from a single thread about contact going dark.
Nothing we hold resolves that second thread. No refund outcome, no return of service, no later sighting. A record that ends mid-problem is the hardest kind to read, and pretending otherwise would be the dishonest move.
We also hold no products for fakelab. Nothing of theirs is indexed, nothing sits on the shelf, and no photograph of theirs has been checked here. The fakelab evidence page is the Reddit trail and nothing more; the methodology page explains what we count and what we throw away.
If you are weighing this against sellers with a longer paper trail, the seller index is sorted on how much evidence exists rather than on how good anyone claims to be — which is the only ranking this site is willing to make.
