The Crow House by Dongliang Description

Dongliang is one of those shops we can’t get enough of. One of the first China-centric fashion concept stores to open in the Mainland (in Beijing first, all the way back in 2009), over the years the boutique has grown into an organic venture, opening a larger space in the capital’s CBD and one in Shanghai in 2011, on leafy Fumin Lu. 

The masterminds behind it are now at it again with a second shop on Changle Lu. A visually compelling space, the store occupies an old 1930s house, with the first floor taken up by a ‘living space’ selling coffee (from Seesaw) and small sweet bites alongside accessories and indie zines. 

Upstairs are five rooms, each showcasing a different designer. Aiming to offer an almost sensory approach to fashion and retail, the entire place is a pleasure to linger in for a few hours, and a real hymn to the potential of China’s fashion and design talent.
