Shopping/Gifts: East of the Sun, Shanghai
East of the Sun is a personal shopping service exclusively available in Shanghai. Owner Francine Martin, who has lived in Asia for 30 years, tailors shopping expeditions to each client's wish list. An outing with East of the Sun eliminates the stress of looking for unique shops and negotiating this metropolis.
Francine's choice of shops reflects her sensitivity to each client's taste, an insider knowledge of the city, and a grasp of what makes a unique and exciting shopping experience for visitors. Her command of Chinese and good relations with vendors are added benefits. Some boutiques are by appointment only, and many are down hidden lanes. If you need shopping suggestions, Francine is a treasure trove of ideas.
If clients are interested in a peek at daily life in old Shanghai and the city's great architecture, Francine takes great pleasure in incorporating off-the-beaten path neighbourhoods and sights into the outing.
Shopping excursions are in English or French. Quintessentially Members can enjoy a 10% discount on Francine's client rate. To make a booking, please contact qchina@quintessentially.com.
