Shopping in Shanghai

[Toiletduck]

Going to be near Shanghai for a period of 5-6 weeks. Anyone know of anything interesting to check out?

Bespoke shoe makers?
Tailors? (Is WW Chan Shanghai cheaper than WW Chan HK?)
Whorehouses? (just kidding)

 

[whoopee]

The Chan Shanghai shops are less expensive than HK, especially with certain fabrics - Italian. I believe there are minor differences between the products, but the Shanghai stores cut a good suit, and I have happily recommended a couple friends to them.

If you can source your own yarn, there are cheap knitters available. Have not tried this.

try and find where there is a local fabric market there you should be able to a suit for around RMB 500 but make sure you tell them how you want it not how they will make it, esp the minor details i will try and ask my sister-in-law as she is based in SH so i will ask her in doors to find out!
