SHANG XIA
Shang Xia is a Shanghai luxury house created as a joint venture between Hermès and Chinese designer Jiang Qiong Er, built on reviving Chinese craft traditions for contemporary use. Its output spans cashmere-felt outerwear and ready-to-wear, hand-woven bamboo objects, hardwood furniture, porcelain and fine jewellery. Exor, the Agnelli family holding company that also invested in Christian Louboutin, bought a majority stake around 2021, with Hermès retaining a minority position. Retail centres on mainland China; the Paris boutique on rue de Sèvres has closed. Pricing sits close to European luxury houses.

Does SHANG XIA run big or small?
SHANG XIA varies by piece. Treat the label size as a rough guide only and buy from the garment's flat measurements, since the cut is voluminous but drafted on a slighter Asian block. Public fit feedback is very limited, but the collections are generally described as loose, layered and craft-driven, with a Chinese-market base pattern that can feel narrower in the shoulder and arm even when the overall silhouette is oversized.
