Back on the old days, Nanso was known to produce cheapish garments that were used by the elder folks. A few years ago they radically changed their course, hired Paola Suhonen to design bleeding edge clothes and now they are one of the most fashionable houses in Finland.

Neiman Marcus is a top-notch department store at the Union Square. The store caters especially for those of us that do not have to watch every penny.

The brands include names such as Burberry, Prada Sport, Yves Saint Laurent, Etro, Dolce & Gabbana and so forth. And this was only a small part of t... More >

Next is a British originated store chain that seems to sell quite rubbish clothes. At least the stores that I've visited in the Great Britain and Thailand were all looking really cheap.

The clothes are sort of trendy, but on the other hand lack enough details and features to really stand apart fr... More >

The city's largest department store, Nextage in Pudong area, specialises in Chinese upscale brands. There are a few Western brands at the ground floor, but everything else is local. Don't be fooled with European sounding names.

The store is located on Bulevardi, a few blocks south fr... More >

Covent Garden is an ideal location for a lazy afternoon stroll amongst shops, and Nine West is a good destination for ladies looking for fashionable and still affordable clothing and accessories.

The airy store is located on James Street, quite near the Covent Garden tube station. The ground floo... More >

No 1 Department Store is located near the People's park, on Nanjing Road that is one of the main shopping streets in Shanghai. The store consists of two buildings; western and eastern. The names are a tad confusing, as the western building looks and smells like department stores in former Eastern bl... More >

NS King is an ordinary shoe store in Viru Keskus with good selections. If you are not looking for anything extra fancy or a pair out-of-the-ordinary boots, this store is a good choice for buying shoes.

They have a full range of shoes and boots for ladies, gents and children. The shoes are inexpen... More >
