Priya Raghavan

Priya Raghavan is Reviews Editor at Litbuy Yupoo Desk, grading every warehouse QC photo set the desk receives and unboxing each parcel. Photo checks cover five points: stitching, symmetry, print alignment, hardware and material appearance, separating the observations available in the images. Parcels are opened on the day they clear customs, with items measured flat using a tailor's tape and calipers and defects photographed beside the warehouse image. Priya writes the score only after those checks, placing the warehouse photographs, received-item measurements and defect records in sequence within the review.

How I test

Warehouse QC photo sets are graded against five checklist points: stitching, symmetry, print alignment, hardware and material appearance. Priya opens each parcel on the day it clears customs, measures the item flat with a tailor's tape and calipers, and photographs any defect beside the warehouse photo. The score is written only after those steps.

  1. The Collar Held Its Roll: Bench Notes on the $15 Polo Ralph Lauren White Polo

    We ordered the $15.37 Ralph Lauren white polo through Litbuy, graded the warehouse QC photos, then measured it flat with a tape and calipers. The collar roll and embroidery held up. The fibre content did not.

  2. Balenciaga T-Shirt in Casual Streetwear Style Review: What 268 Grams of Cotton Actually Buys

    We ordered the $18.51 Balenciaga logo tee through Litbuy, weighed it, measured it flat and put the print under a loupe. Midweight cotton, a genuinely boxy cut, and size labels that read about two sizes small.

  3. Four Colorways, One Bear: The $17.16 Polo Tee Measured Flat

    We ordered the $17.16 Polo Bear tee through Litbuy, measured a size L flat with a tailor's tape, and graded QC photo sets for all four colorways. A relaxed 230 g cotton tee with a well-centred print.

  4. Balenciaga Washed Multicolor T-Shirt Collection Review: 400 g Combed Cotton, Measured Flat, and Why We Sized Down

    We ordered two colorways from the 22-option Balenciaga washed tee run, weighed them on the bench and measured every seam. The 400 g combed cotton and embroidery hold up; the drop-shoulder cut does not behave like a normal size chart.

  5. Polo Ralph Lauren Black Sweater in Refined Casual Style: Hands-On Review

    We ordered the black crew-neck version, measured it at 54 cm across the chest and 236 g on the scale, and graded the QC photos. Soft knit, clean seams; the listing's hood and lining claims still need confirming.

  6. Amiri Black T-Shirt Review: Grading the $18.36 Crew-Neck Against Five Checklist Points

    We ordered the $18.36 Amiri crew-neck, graded the warehouse photos, then measured the parcel flat. A loose cut, an outlined chest logo and a 271 g garment weight — with one dye caution still standing.

  7. Bape Graphic Print Black T-Shirt Review: Calipers, Tape and a Print That Won't Take Heat

    We ordered the $19.70 Bape graphic tee through Litbuy, measured a size L flat and wore it for two weeks. Cut, stitching and value hold up; the heat-transfer print is the fragile part.

  8. Casablanca Floral White T-Shirt Review: A $13.88 Swan-Print Tee, Flat-Measured

    We ordered the white swan-print Casablanca tee through Litbuy, measured it flat, washed it at 30°C and compared the QC photos to what landed. Good loose summer cotton at $13.88 — with a print code you must confirm before shipping.

  9. Ami Paris Everyday T-Shirt Collection Review: Grading the Navy Heart Tee Against Its Warehouse QC Photos

    We ordered the $20.60 navy heart-print tee, laid it flat on the bench with a tailor's tape and calipers, and graded it against five QC checkpoints. The cut is genuinely boxy; the fabric description is not.

  10. Polo Ralph Lauren Black T-Shirt Review: A $16.57 Loose Cotton Tee, Measured

    We ordered the $16.57 Polo Ralph Lauren black tee through Litbuy, graded its 41 warehouse QC photos, then measured it flat. A heavy-for-summer cotton crew neck with clean print edges — and a collar we would not bet on.

  11. MLB Rose Black T-Shirt Review: Bench-Weighed Against a 400 g Claim and a Thin Build

    We ordered the $4.18 MLB rose graphic tee in black, graded the warehouse QC set against five checklist points, and put it on the bench with a tailor's tape and a 0.1 g scale. The rose print holds up; the 400 g spec does not.

  12. MLB Special Offer T-Shirts Review: The 1–3 cm Tolerance Is the Number That Decides Your Size

    Two named cotton builds, an S–5XL run and a $4.48 price. We measured the flat tee, checked the print against the warehouse photos, and found the stated tolerance matters more than the size label.
