Apparel

Expect the unexpected as these new styles - many designed by ChinaSprout - walk the line between traditional and contemporary. Watch for the unusual button, the pretty bow, the contrasting cuff, and other special features to create a look uniquely yours. For little ones, don't miss the precious party dress that sparkles like your baby's eyes!

Accessories

Sometimes it takes just one well-chosen accessory to breathe life into an outfit you've owned for years. The scarves and necklaces below can freshen clothes from casual jeans to that classy dress you reserve for nights on the town. The hand-painted scarf, featuring an Asian woman in a butterfly-filled garden, is nothing less than wearable art.

Home Decor

Bring the colors and images of happiness into your home with ChinaSprout's good-fortune wall hangings, linen placemats and sensational patchwork table runner and cushion cover. Our vivid red double-happiness teapot with matching porcelain cups makes a stunning shelf display when it's not brewing your favorite green tea!

For Kids

Dolls don't get much cuter than Jade, a Chinese girl in a green silk jacket trimmed with red to complement her hair bows. Will she be your daughter's new love - or perhaps the pair of Christmas dolls with matching holiday accessories? Musical kids enjoy dancing about the house with our Chinese tambourine and sequined silk fans.

Books

These wide-ranging collections of essays, short stories and articles will give you insight into the lives of China's modern women, famous gastronomes, and everyday people who cherish their family traditions and childhood homes. Snapshots of a New China features riveting human-interest stories from Shanghai's largest English-language newspaper.
