Madame Mao's Dowry on Postcard

"Hunting for made-in-China souvenirs more Etsy than kitschy? Madame Mao is the spot! Check out the alphabet tote bags from Pinyin Press, cloisonné snuff bottles by Piling Palang, vibrant wrapping paper by Paper Tiger, and quirky jewelry from the young Shanghai designer Shin. If you're into vintage finds more than handmade items, browse the extensive collection of Communist propaganda posters from the 1950s, '60s, and '70s. While the large framed images can be expensive, the postcards and photographs are affordable and can be tucked away in every suitcase."

NOTE FROM MADAME MAO'S DOWRY: The address details of our new studio space are not shown correctly on Google. We closed 207 Fumin Lu in October 2022 and you can now find us at our Studio: House 6, Lane 820 Julu Lu (between Fumin Lu and Changshu Lu, almost opposite Nepali Kitchen). We are open 7 days, 10am-7pm. Our telephone number on the listing is still correct. You can also find us at our official account on wechat: MadameMaosDowry.

Small shop with lots of nostalgic items to buy. The prices are really high. I did buy a great ipad cover with a great photo of an old bike (I am a sucker for those bikes on the streets of Shanghai) but it was 20 bucks. Pricey for China. But the person there was very nice.

GPS pin on the map is wrong, and Google Maps pin is wrong... you'll never find it that way. Just go down Fumin Road and manually look for 207, east side of the street. Store was a little meh, not a great selection, nor kitschy at all. Just a little boutique. Not worth a special trip, as what's around it is pretty spare.

Small shop. Was closed during the day when the sign on the door said it was open.

「二度目の上海」という番組をみて、肉まん柄のアイテムに一目惚れし、こちらを訪れました。コースターは肉まんのほかに餃子と招き猫があったと思います。エプロンは赤と青のものが、餃子、ラーメン、肉まん、招き猫柄がありました。他にもトートバッグやキッチンミトンなどでもこれらの模様があります。あとVISAが使えて助かりました。
