Shopping in this city is unparalleled by any other place in the world…
Fabric:
16 meters (not yards like back home) of top quality threads
~320 rmb (Chinese currency)
about 38 US dollars
comes out to about $2.40/meter
These two for decorating my dorm room… pillows, seat cushin, push-pin board…
All silks: Brown w/ beige polka-dots, soft brown, light pink, & green.
A shimmery pink-peach weave.
The gems of my trip: authentic chinese embroidered silks. First black with traditional “happiness” embroidery, the second a sparkling green tea color with white and gold embroidered dragons.
