Old News Is Good News: Vintage Leather and Clothing Boutique
It’s easy to see that owner Yichi knows her vintage. This quaint store in Wudaoying Hutong catches that “effortless” hipster vibe; the genuine aged leather satchels and totes alone make Old News a must-visit.
Racks groan under the weight of retro and bohemian attire. Prints in lightweight fabrics dominate the selection and hopefully your new summer wardrobe, too. While the majority of the stock is moderately priced, there is the odd designer find, such as a glossy burgundy Loewe patent clutch (RMB 2,400).
Antique wristwatches are also a charming addition, with scuffed watch heads and butter-soft leather straps. The store’s name is befitting, as there’s certainly an Old World allure to this store. In this case, Old News is most definitely good news.
Must buy: Leather bags (RMB 50-2,400)
