3.3 Shopping Center
3.3服饰大厦

You’ve seen glowing menacingly over Sanlitun for months, and now it’s finally open: The 3.3 Shopping Center officially opened on October 28, and the place aims to do big business. The 21,000 square meter, five-floor (plus three-basement-floors) shopping center is home to more than 300 shops, though only less than half of the spaces have been rented out. The first batch of occupants include Beijing’s first branch of the Body Shop, UK’s natural skin and hair products; Japanese streetwear fashion brand A Bathing Ape, whose designs features simian images and hip-hop inspired clothes, shoes and accessories; the Majolica boutique, where you can color your world with Shiseido cosmetics; and a variety of home decor stores. The center also has a website www.3d3.com featuring recommendations and a bbs. Online shopping will be available soon, and all products sold in the center will be available online. Belle Zhao Nov 05
