Delia: Vintage Store With a Naughty Reputation

A vintage shop named after a school in Hong Kong with a naughty reputation can only mean trouble. The décor looks innocent enough: soft leather, worn woods and quaint trinkets. But temptation lurks at every corner.

Brush off the dust and you’ll find rare Chinese antiques, delicate handmade jewelry, clothing from Tokyo and Berlin, and an unrivaled selection of designer spectacles (including a pair of Christian Dior’s for RMB 1,800 and Missoni’s for RMB 1,500). The retro midi dresses are pretty standard – it’s the unique furnishings and custom-made leather clutches that distinguish this hipster hangout from the rest.

All the treasures hail from the ’60s to ’80s, whether they’re lace fans from Italy, floral blouses from Japan or traditional folding chairs from Beijing. Here’s to forming a more worldly view of rebellion.

Splurge on: Customized leather bag with engraving (RMB 800)
