Lolo Love Vintage has relocated from its original Weihai location to a lane in the French Concession. This vintage boutique/cafe is run by Lolo, who is apparently one of China’s top make-up artists and stylists. Vintage fans will love what’s in stock here: “a swathe of ’60s swimsuits, Victorian undergarments, ’20s headgear…someone’s ’80s prom dress on the wall, and rows more of ’50s teapots, pre-loved buttons and a ’40s YSL coat or three”. Read more about Lolo here.
There are a few comfy seats (vintage, of course) should you want to linger around for a cup of coffee.
We tried a cup of tiramisu latte and a cup of honey soy latte (both 25 RMB). Hmm, interesting…let’s just say coffee brewing isn’t exactly Lolo Love Vintage’s forte.
Come by on a sunny day and sit out in the leafy courtyard while sipping on a very strange cup of coffee, or just go with the safer choices like earl grey or orange juice…
