Last summer I was searching for a large, silk shawl and was on the verge of giving up when, joy of joy, I discovered Shanghai Tang. A touch of the Orient located on Sloane Street in London, they stock shawls in the most beautiful colourways imaginable - from fushcia/black to red/orange - with the most amazingly luxurious tassel detailing.
The luxe doesn't stop at shawls. They also have the most incredibly indulgent silk coats, dresses, blouses, dresses and more. Exquisite patterened silks in the Chinese style - mandarin collars, tiny froglet button-closures. The pieces are traditional but with a modern edge that makes them extremely wearable.
Their coats and jackets can be worn in the evening with a sleek pair of trousers or can look equally at ease with a pair of jeans for the day. If you're in the mood to match accessories, you're sure to find something to suit in their collection of bags - using silk, leather, and suede they have created styles that are unusual and unique.
If you want something that fits like a glove, be sure to investigate their Imperial Tailor service where you can have any garment made-to-measure. All the detailing on these pieces is done by hand - now that's luxury!
