Do you have recommendations for places to buy hanfuâ either irl or online?
Hi, thanks for the question!
Yes, I have recommendations for places to buy hanfu, both online and offline. Please check out my âWhere to Buy Hanfuâ page, as well as my Q&A Masterpost which has a section on buying hanfu. I also have a âHanfu Recommendationsâ tag for my previous recommendations on where to buy hanfu.
