Shanghai Tang

Shanghai Tang is a pioneering ‘Created by Chinese’ luxury brand recognised internationally for its authentic craftsmanship and unique designs served with a dash of humour, irreverence and disruptive edge. Founded in 1994 as a bespoke tailor in the iconic Pedder Building in Hong Kong, Shanghai Tang was inspired by the glamour and glory of the Shanghai Bund in the 1930s, a vibrant era during which this renowned entertainment playground was the melting pot for culture, fashion, architecture, commerce and art. The name of the brand is a play on words that takes the English transcription of the Shanghai Bund (上海滩 – Shang-hai-tan) and humorously connects the sound of the words with the name of the late founder, Sir David Tang, who developed a phenomenal celebrity following including Princess Diana, actresses Gong Li and Nicole Kidman, top models Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. As a proudly ‘Created by Chinese’ brand, we deliver to the global audience a disruptive and modern take on Chinese culture, aesthetics and craftsmanship. Shanghai Tang offers a wide range of lifestyle collections steeped in heritage, including iconic products such as Tang jackets, cashmere cardigans with silk lining, silk pyjamas, knot clutches, scarves and foulards, Chinese gemstone jewellery, lacquer boxes and the signature Ginger Flower home fragrance.
