Shanghai Collected

Taobao Find - Baby clothes and gear

Many of my friends are having babies and finding nice presents isn't easy. Just like for adults, buying and affordable baby/kids clothes in Shanghai is a bit of a challenge (if money is no object, Jacadi recently opened in Reel Mall and Bonpoint has a store in Plaza 66).There is the famous children clothes market on Pu An Lu but not much gift-able choices there.

I like to check out Rouge Baise Elise for some hand-embroided baby clothes and bedlinen or these few Taobao shops:

Pregnancy in Shanghai

I haven't blogged much lately but I have an excuse: I recently gave birth to my first child and have been quite busy since then! As some of you are planning to give birth in Shanghai, I thought I'd share my experience here.

Taobao Find - Pregnancy Clothes

I know... boring... but if you are currently pregnant in Shanghai, you are probably sick of H&M and struggling to find anything else than those chinese apron-y dresses. 

Let's be honest, shopping for maternity wear is something one wishes to stay away as long as possible (except for this: Hatch Collection, which costs an arm and a leg but can be delivered to Shanghai via Shopbop) and no one wants to spend a fortune on clothes that will only serve for a few months time.

So here's a list of affordable shops on Taobao:
