How to read Baima

Baima is ten storeys with about eight shopping floors and roughly 2,000 shops. Low floors trade in scattered goods and fast-moving fashion; higher floors lean toward brand showrooms and higher quality women's wear and men's wear.

Use the floor as a hint, not a rule. The same vendor could occupy two adjacent floors with different price points.

Lower floors

The lower floors carry fast fashion and trendy pieces. This is where scattered goods and single-colour pieces are easiest to source.

Expect higher unit prices relative to the very cheapest blocks in the city, because the building's positioning is mid to high.

Middle floors

The middle floors balance price and quality. This is the sweet spot for buyers sourcing mid-range retail ranges.

Ask for fabric and construction samples before you commit.

Upper floors

The upper floors concentrate on higher quality women's clothing and brand showrooms, with men's wear above. MOQs and run sizes tend to be larger here.

These floors suit buyers sourcing a consistent range rather than scattered pieces.
