Shang Xia
Jing'an, Shanghai
The Hermes-backed Chinese luxury house - furniture, ceramics, and clothing that revive imperial craft.
Shang Xia is the Chinese luxury house founded with Hermes: furniture, lacquerware, porcelain, and bamboo furniture that revive Ming aesthetics with modern craft. Every piece is made by artisans who trained for years in techniques that nearly died.
Prices are serious - this is investment-grade design. Even window-shopping here is a masterclass in modern Chinese aesthetics.
Best for: China's answer to Hermes, made by living masters.
