2009 Jul 05 New Openings: Yavin 4
Is there anything more fun than a shop that sells useless trinkets? They’re not all winners, of course – bad likenesses of Hello Kitty and Pokemon are your signal to head for the door. Luckily, that’s not the case for Yavin 4.
Most of their products are produced locally, though imports from Hong Kong, the US and Europe can also be found in the mix. Items don’t have any connection to each other per se – earrings, dishware, stuffed animals, lamps, wallets, T-shirts – except that they’re all cute as a button. (Yes, they sell those, too.) And just when you thought it was kawaii overload, the newest branch in Chaowai Soho goes and offers a DIY workshop. Unleash your inner cutie.
Yavin 4
Daily 11am-9pm. Shop 3019, 3/F, Tower B, Chaowai Soho, 6B Chaoyangmenwai Dajie, Chaoyang District (139 1092 7957) www.yavin4.com.cn
