Soooo glad you're enjoying the report. It is fun to share....and writing about our trip helps fend off the 'post trip blues'!
Betty, I have to confess, I'm not the best of shoppers. Much to my sister's disappointment, and my husband's delight, I just don't do well unless the merchandise is practically handed to me :eek: . Having said that....the Shanghai market was a ton of fun! The interaction with the people and the 'quest' was a blast!
Mostly it was LV, Prada, some Chanel, some Dior, Polo, some Bottega Veneta, Tommy Hilfinger, Coach, some Tommy Bahama, etc. I really didn't focus on jewelry or watches, but they were there in profusion! A ton of DVD's...King Kong was big last week! Also lots and lots of pashminas and silk scarves. Pashminas were pretty and quality was good, but the scarves weren't great.
A lot of the knock offs were of not very expensive stuff to begin with...so it really didn't make sense to me to bother with those. Of course I did manage to purchase a Chanel and a Bottega Veneta purse, a few sweaters and in Hong Kong a Chanel watch and some clothes at Shanghai Tang. I know. Crazy. Went to Hong Kong to buy at their branch of Shanghai Tang!! :rolleyes:
As I've said over and over...it was all soooo much fun! I'm ready to go back tomorrow! Hey, that's not a bad idea...I can just roll this jet lag into the next one and not even feel it! ;)
