Shanghai South Bund (Lujiabang Road) Fabric Market

By , About.com Guide

Description:

Three-floor market of clothing fabric and tailors. Stalls sell everything from linen, silk, cotton, blends, cashmere for coats and suiting, men's suiting materials, etc. Many vendors speak some basic English. Getting clothing made is very, very reasonable but the outcome can be variable. Your best bet is to buy something that has already been made (most stalls have samples hanging up that you can try on), or bring in an item you'd like to have copied.

Address:

399 Lujiabang Road (near the Bund). 上海南外轻纺面料市场, 399陆家浜路, 近中山东二路

Say it in Chinese: "san joh joh loo jah bahng loo".

Opening Hours:

10am-6pm

Getting There:

Your best bet is a taxi as there is not yet a convenient metro stop.
