Muji

French Concession


Muji fans will love Shanghai's flagship store (the largest in mainland China), spread over three floors and stocking everything from the usual stationery, travel goods, clothing and kitchenware to an aroma lab, furniture, cosmetics and books. There's even a design-your-own tote bag area, as well as a Muji Diner.
