A friend of mine came to visit me in Shanghai, so brought him to shop around.
Yesterday went to this place called the Shanghai Outlet, located at Zhaoxiang (赵巷), along A9 highway. The place really looks like the outlets I have been to in UK & Chicago. They are divided into 3 area (A, B & C), where there are international & local brands available, ranging from clothes for children & adults, as well as home used.
International brands include Lacoste, Nine West, Nike, Miss Sixty, Levis, Armani, Burberry, Bally, Hugo Boss, etc.
At first we were so excitied to go there, you know outlets usually full of cheap branded clothes. Even its outdated, yet its really worth buying & shop around. However we were really disappointed once we visited the 1st shop Armani, we found the price wasn’t we expected, it was still expensive, maybe just 30% lower than the original price sell in the shopping mall. But the price is higher compared to Singapore ones, so we guess its because of the 17% VAT. Products made in China, yet more expensive than products exported to Singapore. hmmm…really cannot figure out.
In the end I got 2 jackets (Local Brand) for my kids, 1 Nike T-shirt & lingerie.
So conclusion is don’t go there!! So expensive. However if you are really interested to know the location, below is the address:
