Watch outThe tea-ceremony scam is endemic on this street: a friendly student or couple practising English suggest a teahouse, and the bill runs to hundreds of euro. So is the 'art exhibition' variant. Do not follow strangers off this street.
Tip: Bring a garment you like for them to copy — it works far better than a photograph. Insist on a fitting before final stitching, and leave a week if you can.
Watch out'Cashmere' and 'wool' bolts are frequently blends. Ask to see the bolt end label, and agree in writing what happens if the fitting is wrong.
Watch outJade here is overwhelmingly dyed quartz, serpentine or glass. Real jadeite is cold to the touch, dense in the hand and never cheap; buy from a certificated dealer or treat it as a souvenir.
