The Urban Edit
We’re always on the look out for artisanal, well-made-in-China products, and one of our favourite discoveries of the past few months has been Tu Textiles, a Beijing based design studio producing gorgeous China-inspired prints on eco-friendly fabrics. In fact their cushions are so lovely, you’ll be able to spot them in the bedrooms at the soon-to-open Temple Hotel any day now. Confirmation of their quality if ever we heard it.
They’re here! Bespoke Beijing is proud to announce its rather beautiful set of Beijing Gift Vouchers (if we do say so ourselves). Each one guarantees the recipient an unforgettable Beijing experience. So what are you waiting for? Choose your favourite and then get in touch with us directly at [email protected] to purchase.

Too many dumplings (and a strong adversity to exercise in -9°C) means we here at Bespoke Beijing don’t feel the healthiest at this time of year. The answer? Ordering a Gung Ho Pizza fruit salad and pretending the coconut dressing that comes with it is ‘low fat yoghurt’. Makes us feel much better. Thanks Gung Ho.
