Fodor's Review:

Don't let the gray-brick and red-trim exterior fool you: the offices inside the Ritan Building are strung with racks of brand-name dresses and funky-fab accessories. Unlike the tacky variations made on knockoff labels sold in less-expensive markets, the collections here, for the most part, retain their integrity—perhaps because many of these dresses are actually designer labels. They're also more expensive, and bargaining is discouraged. Of note, the owner Liu Xingxing tailors and sells Hunan silk qipaos (# 1019). The Ruby Cashmere Shop (# 1009) sells genuine cashmere sweaters and scarves at reduced prices. Upstairs, the burning incense and bright red walls of You Gi (# 2006) provide a welcome atmosphere for perusing an overpriced but eccentric collection of Nepalese and Indian clothing and jewelry.
