Xuhui Foxtown

Xuhui Foxtown features popular brands like Esprit, I.T., Lacoste, Adidas

in a convenient area that's easy to get to.

Basic knowledge: Special discount stores get their discounted stuff
mainly through three channels: Weihuo, the excessive goods a manufacturer
produces beyond the ordered quantity; the excessive storage of
manufacturers or suppliers; and leftover clothes whose sizes don't cover
the whole range.
