If you venture down to Soho to check out Topshop, take a few minutes to cross the street and visit Pearl River. Billed as a bridge between China and the U.S., Pearl River has been a Soho institution for more than twenty-five years.

The store is a wonderland of all things Asian, from beautifully embroidered jackets, to embellished shoes and slippers, to dramatic home furnishings. Looking for favors for a party? This is the perfect place to find fans, candles, soaps, and other items that are affordable and unique. Love tea? You will find an amazing assortment here.

The store has something for every age group. We spotted some adorable dolls dressed in traditional Asian clothing that are now on sale. Children’s clothing includes everything from jackets to night clothes to shoes. And for an older child who loves origami, you can choose from a wide variety of papers.

Who knows? The next time you visit Soho, Pearl River may be your first destination.
And you can always visit the store’s website.
