What moves at Shahe each season
Shahe turns quickly. Read the market's rhythm before you plan a repeat trip.
Newness cycles
New stock lands early and sells through within weeks at the cheap end.
Ask when the next drop lands and note it on the ticket.
Sizes and colours
Common size and colour combinations sell out first. Lock these on the run, not on the last day.
Test a size set before committing to a full run.
Plan your visits
Build a calendar around the newness cycle plus the Canton Fair window, then leave a week of buffer for re-orders.
Re-orders are easier when the same vendor remembers your colour book.
Verify before you commit
Order a sample set for a first season and commit to a full run only once you have sell-through data.
Photograph retained samples with tickets so you can reorder accurately.
Seasonality is directional; confirm the current cycle with vendors.
