Rant: I tracked a $15 dress from a haul video back to the factory that made it

The haul video showed a 'boutique find', but the tag code matched a massive factory in Dhaka that also supplies three other fast fashion sites. Seeing the same exact item sold under four different brand names for wildly different prices blew my mind. Has anyone else tried reverse-engineering a viral haul item like this?

Yeah seeing the same dress with four different price tags is wild. It makes you wonder how much of the stuff we see online is just the same factory stuff with a new label slapped on. I've never tracked something back that far but now I'm tempted to try. It's kinda depressing but also good to know, you know?

He ordered this expensive flannel from some boutique site, then found the exact same shirt on Aliexpress for like 15 bucks. Same stitching, same tag inside just with a different brand name. He was pissed but also kinda impressed.
