Shenzhen Shenzhen clothing prices
Posted: Mon July 6, 2009 01:22 PM UTC
Hi,
We've got a stop-over in HK on the first leg our round the world trip and were considering going into Shenzhen for a day to buy clothes for the trip. Can anyone please give me an idea of prices for some clothing, so that we can work out whether its worth our time and money with visas and travel from HK? We were thinking of buying hiking jackets, pants and shoes as well as tshirts etc (Columbia, North face etc).
Thanks in advance for your help!

A lot depends on your size. Larger sizes are much harder to find and cost more. I am 33" waist and I paid RMB80 for jeans RMB200 for a winter jacket (not a ski-ing one). T-shirts can be as low as RMB10 if you find the right place but are more likely RMB 60. I bought GMT (like Mack) brand boots for RMB150 in Shekou (size US 7).

If you don't want to hop over the border then there are shops and markets in Mongkok (Kowloon side and not too far away) that sell good clothes at affordable prices.

Beware of counterfeits of Columbia and North Face; I have seen them in Xian and Shanghai. Not a big deal to have a counterfeit of a Lauren Polo dress shirt, but if you are doing outdoor expedition genuine Goretex may be important to you.

In one discussion it became clear that the North Face jacket I was looking at was fake, and the merchant knew exactly what the true market price of genuine North Face was... same as in USA!

Best of luck,
Brad
