Now racks of brightly colored clothes are back as Abandon, a pop-up looking shop with a few racks of funky patterned shirts and dresses. Most of the clothes are from Sophia's favorite fashion decades, the 1970's-80's, collected on expeditions to the West Coast of the U.S. and Japan.

The most punk-rock part of this whole place is that prices lean cheap for foreign-vintage goods, ranging from 50-300rmb. Shirts and dresses (which take up most of the rack space) stay around 150-200rmb and each tag denotes their decade and country of origin. You can snag funky jewelery for 50-80rmb and handbags 150-200rmb.
