Stay Real Cafe at IAPM

Shanghai has seen a trend of fashion brands branching out to cafes and restaurants. Within the past year or two, we've seen Vivienne Westwood Cafe, Muji Cafe and  Gucci Cafe, to name a few. 

Taiwanese street fashion brand, Stay Real, is always hip and now offers us a cool place to grab a sweet or a cup of coffee after shopping with them.

Retro Cute at Taikang Lu

Take a trip back to Shanghai in the 1930s
