Shanghai Tang is a brand with stores in various locations around the world. They sell beautiful silk and cashmere clothing, supple leather bags, and artistic enamel jewellery. All for an exorbitant price because it's catered for the foreign market (though it's made for about 1/50th the price here in China). I know their prices are absurd, but I still love their products and especially the store's interior - all luxe in bold fuschias, lime greens and bright blues, matched with black. Recently, they opened their new restaurant in Shanghai and we finally made a trip there on a double-date with some friends. Located on the 2nd floor and accessed by elevator, you step out and you're immediately taken into a world of luxe. Black glossy walls with back-lit colourful features, glass windows shrouded with black and lime green curtains, lacquered black table and chairs and a stunning explosion of colourful tableware. The colours are intense and look fantastic against the black. It's all very nouveau-Chinese and you either think its tacky, or appreciate it. I love it!
