Shanghai Tang
Shanghai Tang prides itself as the pioneering luxury brand from China, with a mission to be the global curator of modern Chinese chic. The brand started as a bespoke tailoring atelier in 1994, drawing the legendary craftsmanship of traditional Shanghainese tailoring and rich fabrics to craft impeccably cut clothing. Since then, Shanghai Tang has become renowned for its quirky take on China’s cultural heritage, reinterpreting the beauty and richness of the past as well as the opulence of Shanghai in novel lines of colourful clothing. Using exclusive fabrics, including silk, velvet and Mongolian cashmere, the brand has transitioned to a fully-fledged fashion house that has the modern Chinese aesthetic at the core of its DNA, with ready-to-wear clothing collections for men, women and children; a made-to-measure service; home and décor pieces; accessories, jewellery and fragrances. Shanghai Tang also differentiates itself with its unique multi-sensory shopping experience, from its sumptuous product packaging and colourful product design to the signature ginger flower fragrance used in its stores, designed to deliver a rich sense of storytelling and immaculate Oriental sense of service. Today, Shanghai Tang supports an international network of boutiques, including two mega-flagships: the Shanghai Tang Mansion on Duddell Street in Hong Kong and the Cathay Mansion in Shanghai.
