Description:
Massive market hall divided into two sections - one for regular fabric and bedding, another for upholstery, blinds and other household items.
Address:
1618 Cao'an Road | 曹安路1618号轻纺市场
Opening hours:
Daily: roughly 10am-6pm (some shops may open earlier)
Guide Notes:
The upholstery market (轻纺, "qing fang" or soft furnishings) market differs from the clothing fabric markets in that the focus here is the home not the body. You can have bedding whipped up within a few hours. This is a great place to buy custom made sheets and blankets. Also, step into the upholstery hall for fabric for the home. Good buys are
- 100% silk blankets (duvets) - made to order (size and thickness) within about an hour.
- custom-made sheets
- cushions, soft furnishings for kids
- re-upholstery fabric (for sofas at home at a fraction of the cost)
- window treatments
Make sure you get a business card from any stall at which you've ordered something so you can find it again. They all start to look the same after 15 minutes...
