A
Sānlǐtún Yashou Clothing Market
After slogging through this hopping, five-floor bedlam of shoes, boots, handbags, suitcases, jackets, silk, carpets, batik, lace, jade, pearls, toys, army surplus and souvenirs, ease the pressure on your bunions with a foot massage (Y50 per hour) or pedicure (Y40) on the 4th floor and restore calories in the 5th-floor food court.

Silk Street
Seething with shoppers and polyglot (and increasingly tactile) vendors, Silk Street was for long synonymous with fake knock-offs, and some pirated labels survive. The market sprawls from floor to floor, shoving piles of rucksacks, shoes, silk, cashmere and tailor-made qípáo into the overloaded mitts of travellers and expats. Haggle fiendishly (credit cards accepted).

Mega Mega Vintage

Vintage Store
Can't leave Běijīng without that retro Bruce Lee T-shirt? Desperate to replace your vintage Levi's? Then this is the place for you. With posters of Steve McQueen on the wall, a solid selection of old-school T-shirts (around Y100), jackets and jeans (around Y800), entering this funky little store is like stepping back in time to the '70s.

Lu Ping Trendsetters
Beautiful, hand-embroidered qipao (traditional Chinese dresses) can be ordered here. The quality is superb and Lu Ping is one of the few Chinese designers still specialising in making them. He does menswear too. Call ahead to make an appointment.

Wuzhou Friendship Silk Trade Company
Located in the embassy district, this tailor/material store is familiar with foreigners and 'foreigner' sizes and styles. Qipao (figure-hugging Chinese-style dresses) and men's shirts take two to three days.

Ritan Office Building
The office workers moved out and the hip clothing stores moved in. It's an odd set-up but the stores are great with wares a notch up from what you usually find in the markets. A favourite with nearby embassy staff.
