What’s NOT scam merch is anything on hpfl.store :)
Make sure you tag ME in your merch photos, so I can include your beautiful faces at the end of my videos!!!

I miss bad quality clothes that weren’t AI 😩 like what happened to those galaxy leggings everyone had

Honestly, I would love to see a 'AI vs Subscriber Made Items' video. I need to see a good pair of those lacy flaired pants!

Hey Hope! Just so you know American Girls is making a Kpop demon hunter doll and as of this morning they haven't yet sold out of pre-orders. They're kind of pricey though

We need to start holding the platforms accountable for allowing the scammers to advertise and scam people

Hi Hope, I’m a seamstress and would love to make those ruffly tiered pants for you! @hopescope @hangwithhopescope

Info that you probably didn’t care about: the one Katseye shirt had a film decal on it, not screen print. Film decals are a lot cheaper because it literally is a huge printer that lays down adhesive and powder ink on a piece of film paper so it can be heat pressed on to a shirt. Because it’s basically a printer, there’s endless possibilities for what you can do and it makes it so that you can print to order so you don’t have to hold an inventory. Whereas for screen printing, you have to burn screens, prepare plastisol inks and set up a machine so that the screens are lined up. You are much more limited with colors and details and have to make large orders all at one time since it’s such a big process. Screen printing will ALWAYS feel better than film decals but is much more expensive, limited in detail, and labor intensive.

I think malls will come into style as we crave human interaction and can’t trust the internet to not sell us trash

These companies should be shut down. Also, PayPal needs to be investigated for fraud as well. We need to stop purchasing this crap. The more you purchase, the more money they make. We love you!!

As the nerd who used to be a screenprinter, the tees are  probably made with a vinyl heat transfer, not actually silkscreened, which is why it feels plasticky

The seashell dress has me dying, the fact its that photo printed on, you can see the ocean theme behind where the neck line and behind the ruffles XD

That shell dress was criminal 😭😭 omg

I've noted this tip before. If the word PRINTED is in the description (you can see it at 18:24) it will be a pattern printed on a polyester fabric. So always look for the word "printed" in the description. You're welcome!

29:00 as a former Disney Store Cast Member who had to display princess dresses. Steam is your friend. Each layer. Then it will fluff up.

10:30 the designs they used are the exact same as some old shopkins dolls! Specifically the Kindi Kids dolls. I think they bought a bunch of those dolls and just made them look like the characters

LOL, I thought it was a big part of the screen printing flaking off when she lost her nail. 🤣

I think we are getting to the point where we will have to go back to buying in the store.

I work in the supply chain here in America where I'm a main contact between overseas factories & companies producing things. Most likely, you're seeing similar things when they arrive because it's all drop shipped from the same factory. China has a lot of factories, however they're all mostly specialized. There's only so many factories that produce clothing that comes from these AI generated "suppliers" also known as middle men. They generate these ads based on things they know the factory can produce, get sales to the factory & drop ship them out to customer's taking their cut in the process. It's why you get such horrible quality when ordering products like this, there is no QC, the person selling the item has nothing to do with production, & unlike other retailers they're not even getting the product themselves & then selling it to customers, they've already made the sale so quality, satisfaction, return sales, none of that matters.

I hate when the ad clearly has embellishments and then it's just screen printed on.

Don’t fear for missing out on the kpop demon hunter dolls! Mattel is making more play line dolls that will be sold in stores, including jinu and their first outfits for how it’s done which are my favorite! I’m so excited
