Shokay
Shokay, the world's first lifestyle brand focused on the yak, features adult accessories, kidswear, and home collections hand knit from fine yak down. Shokay prides itself not only in its classic and modern designs, but also its social impact. It's yak down, comparable in warmth and softness to cashmere, is hand combed by Tibetan herders; most of the products are hand knit by women in rural areas of China. Shokay can now be found around the world in over 10 countries, but Shanghai is its home. Beyond the usual Shokay knits, the two stores in the city each has its unique offering: at the Taikang Lu flagship, you can sign up for a walking tour in the historical Shanghainese lane houses and learn to finger knit a scarf in 10 minutes; at the Sheraton Hongqiao store, you can have a taste of yak cheese at the Bauernstube Deli next door!
