with bargains and tailors galore
It may be southern China's major finance hub,[url=http://cheapnikesoccercleatsmercurial.webmium.com/][b]cheap nike soccer cleats mercurial Discount Soccer Cleats Clearance Cleats[/b][/url], but Shenzhen is rapidly becoming famous for its dirt-cheap shopping. Shenzhen's shopping scene is like no other, and mastering the art should be worthy of a reward. It is often stressful,[url=http://cheapnikesoccercleatsmercurial.webmium.com/][b]Discount Soccer Cleats Clearance Cleats[/b][/url], but shopping in Shenzhen can also be great fun.
If you don't have long, Shenzhen's one-stop shopping destination is Lowu Commercial City, which is right beside the main train station, near Hong Kong's border. You will know you are in the right place because the salespeople will be at your side before you are even through the doors. Luowu and Luoho are spelling variations of Lowu, but they all refer to the same place.
Don't get to Lowu anytime before 10am,[url=http://discountnikesoccershoes.webmium.com/][b]Discount Soccer Shoes sale[/b][/url], because nothing is open and there are no cafes to have a coffee in while you wait. But once the doors open, it is every shopper for themselves. More than 1500 shops over five levels make Lowu a full two-day job - at least. If you want tailoring done,[url=http://newkevindurantshoes2012.blogspot.com/][b]new kevin durant shoes 2012[/b][/url], which is reason enough alone to visit Shenzhen,[url=http://duveticaitaly.albirank.net/][b]Duvetica Shop[/b][/url], you may want to allow longer.
Swarms of sales assistants will be trying to sell you their product, from DVDs to Prada handbags and everything in between. If you even glance at something in a shop window you can expect to be chased up and down escalators to a tiring chant of, "Missy Missy,[url=http://www.duveticajacketsjp.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット-デュベチカ(Duvetica)店舗-デュベティカアウトレット-デュベチカ 通販-デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url], special price for you, today only".
Make time for tailoring
If you plan to "get tailored" in Lowu - and I recommend you do - make it your priority. The more time you allow for fittings and alterations, the more likely you are to walk away with something you will like. The tailors in Shenzhen are amazing. If you have pants or dresses that are a perfect fit,[url=http://www.duveticajacketsjp.com/][b]デュベティカ 店舗[/b][/url], bring them from home for the tailor to copy as this will guarantee good results. If you want something made from scratch, find a tailor who has similar designs in their windows to what you are after.
Asking a tailor who specialises in suit jackets to create an oriental Chinese gown could easily end in disaster. I had a pair of pants made at one tailor, which I still was not happy with after two days of alterations,[url=http://rogervivieroutlet.halod.com/][b]discount 2013 roger vivier outlet roger vivier online shopping[/b][/url], despite being made from a pair I had brought from home. But I did pay $39 instead of the $180 I paid for the original pair.
I ordered a cashmere jacket to be made from scratch at another tailor who promised a 12-hour turnaround. True to his word, my stunning made-to-measure Hugo Boss-design cashmere jacket was finished the following morning, and didn't need a single alteration, all for less than $50.
The tailor I chose to make my jacket had many top-half designs lining every wall of his tiny shop, but the tailor who tried to replicate my pants was surrounded by more traditional Chinese clothing. Lesson learnt.
Quality vs Quantity
Once your order is with the tailor,[url=http://rogervivieroutlet.halod.com/][b]roger vivier online shopping[/b][/url], it is time to hit the shops for everything else. You will walk past endless handbags,[url=http://duveticaitaly.albirank.net/][b]DUVETICA Piumini Italy Vendita Duvetica Online Duvetica Sale Duvetica Coats Shop[/b][/url], jewellery, shoes, glasses, belts and DVDs in Lowu.
There are bargains to be had, but don't be scared to pick the quality to pieces. It is the only way to know whether something is worth buying. A Balenciaga bag isn't a bargain at $40 if it falls apart before you get home. Pull at the stitching and the badging - within reason - and insist on a new one if you're not happy with the one you are looking at. Make sure you are realistic. Remember,[url=http://www.duveticajacketsjp.com/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url], you are paying a meagre fraction of the price a real one would cost. It is a matter of having the time to shop around and find the best deals.
When they bring you a new one, be sure to check it. I asked for a new Jimmy Choo bag, and upon unwrapping it in the shop and checking the logo, realised they had just rewrapped the same one. The badging was falling off,[url=http://woolrichoutlet.halod.com/][b]http://woolrichoutlet.halod.com/[/b][/url], and the leather had a tear in the same place. I am sure they were hoping I wouldn't unwrap the three layers of tissue paper until I had landed in Australia and it would be too late. But in Shenzhen anything goes. Don't assume it is all above board. Check for yourself.
The best way to deal with nagging salespeople - if you are not interested in the product they are offering - is to ignore them. It is often hard, but I found it the most successful tactic. They will try to befriend you, even telling you to hold your bag tightly and zip it up to avoid having your personal items stolen. They do have a point,[url=http://duveticaoutletcanada.halod.com/][b]duvetica down jackets men[/b][/url], but it is hard knowing who you can and cannot trust.
A lot of hagglers are more than happy for you to hand over the list of items you want to buy,[url=http://woolrichoutlet.halod.com/][b]Woolrich Outlet online shop[/b][/url], and they will take you to "the best deals", but I find it hard to believe they aren't taking a cut.
It is tough to browse in Shenzhen. If you walk into a shop, you can expect to have the salespeople hot on your heels. They are so desperate for your tourist dollar, they find it difficult to watch someone walk out of their shop empty-handed. Try to be patient and remember this is how they put food on the table for their family. It is their way of life. That doesn't mean you should make the mistake of falling for their guilt trips.
Tricks of the trade
The sales assistants are quick to say they won't make any money if they sell at the price you have offered. If it is true, they will let you walk away and you will know they were being honest. You can always go back later and up your offer a bit. But stick to your price at first, so you know what is a good deal for you, and the assistant. If they sell it to you, don't feel guilty. They would not let you buy it if it meant they would lose money.
My best buy was easily a Tiffany Co heart tag toggle bracelet that, I am proud to say, hasn't tarnished as I feared it would. I paid $16, and they retail here in Australia for $480. And the fact it didn't come in the heartstopping little green box is a secret no one needs to know. The salesperson originally tried to sting me $40 for it, so it shows how important it is to haggle.
The locals say you should not pay more than a third of the original asking price.
Ellen McNally's "little red book" Shop in Shenzhen quickly became our bible in Lowu, with reports of the best tailors and handy floor plans with directions to the best of everything. Invest in a copy before you head to Shenzhen, but remember: When reading it in Lowu,[url=http://bestsoccercleatsonlinestore.blogspot.com/][b]cheap soccer cleats online[/b][/url], it is like sticking a sign on your back that says you are an easy target with tourist dollars to spend.
