Be subversive with a punk-meets-pop art tee, hoodie or baseball cap.
Come to The Thing if your thing is T-shirts emblazoned with quirky, original prints, funky hoodies, baseball caps and dresses or just-plain-cool pop-out rubber sandals.
Frequented by expatriate hipsters and fashion-conscious locals alike, The Thing is pretty edgy for Shanghai, with slightly macabre, subversive designs and a punk-meets-pop art twist.
The T-shirts here are the perfect gifts for teenagers happy to wear the image of a man in the process of shooting himself in the head, his splattering blood gradually turning into butterflies, on their chests. You get the drift.
