Cooper & Looper Description

New Fangjia Hutong shop Cooper & Looper pays homage to the days of old, offering a rich selection of antique goods, leather bags and quality clothing in warm woody environs. Bricked walls display ancient-looking typewriters and globes of the world while more practical offerings include jeans from Hangzhou-based Overcomer & Co (a classic style and wash for the everyday workman or woman) and gorgeous leather Vasco bags from Japan. A whiff of bearded-man hipster cool permeates, but those sans-beard are welcome too. Food and drink is also on offer for those wishing to linger. Note that looking good does not necessarily come cheap: Prices range from RMB500 (jeans) to RMB2,000 (bags). But we figure that if you have many leather-bound books and your apartment smells of rich mahogany, this is bound to matter not.
