Former model/fashion blogger Elle Lee tells us: “What to shop!”

Shanghai Tang’s Goes on a Nomadic Journey with Series of Pop-up Stores

Shanghai Tang’s pop-up stores across Central.

As you’ll know, Shanghai Tang has vacated their flagship store at Pedder Building due to skyrocketing rents (a 250% increase to HK$7 million a month!)
