Description: I love shopping in San Francisco's Chinatown, and Old Shanghai is one of my favorite shops. Upstairs, they have a wonderful selection of authentic silk jackets (padded and formal), pyjamas, blouses and cheongsams - all in fine quality silk with beautiful patterns and colors. The sales women are helpful but not pushy. Most recently, I bought a reversible padded 100% silk jacket with a beautiful blossom motif for $79 - a much better deal than I can get in New York.
Old Shanghai is also a good place to buy shams for throw pillows - they seem to have the most unusual and high-quality assortment in Chinatown, as even salespeople in other stores have commented on shams I purchased at Old Shanghai! I bought beautiful 14" double-sided silk shams for $14 each that feature traditional Chinese themes. Ceramics, chopsticks, silk purses and cases, Chinese boxes, jewelry and furniture are also available at Old Shanghai. I can't get enough of this place! I am glad we don't have anything comparable in New York - I'd be broke!
