Urban Youth: Thrifty And Frugal Return

Zhejiang, China, November, 19, recently, many of the young people began to become thrifty and frugal, and some even fell in love with this frugal way of life.

There are seven changes in the sewing clothes stand, and one is carrying a cotton padded jacket lined with a back line. Miss Chen, 30 years old, comes to a dress repair booth at stadium road.

"I didn't earn more money last year than I did last year. I'm learning to save money now."

Miss Chen said that if she had thrown away this dress last year, she would have bought one.

It is the consensus of many young people in Hangzhou that we can not spend money as much as possible. Correspondingly, it is a large increase in the number of sewing stalls.

"From Pao road to Jin Zhu Road, there were two complementary clothes stalls, which have developed to 7 this year."

The owner, who was covering up the clothes, said that although she had increased 3 times more, the business she had undertaken did not decrease.

Although it is a supplement to clothes, the young people have new stress: clothes that are not fit, changing styles to sewing shops, keeping up with the trend on clothes, wearing clothes that are worn out, and still getting the beauty of the sewing shop.

Near the University Road Park, there are only 8 sewing stalls on the road leading to the park.

One of the stall owners, Aunt Wang, said that since the first half of this year, the "main force" of the dress has become a young woman, often asking for a change in the old style to a new style, or relaxing the trousers and skirts.

In Hangzhou, there are many such darning shops. There are quite a few of these stalls near the Hangzhou department store and Yintai department store, which are very popular among young people.

In the past few days, a small shop that ordered leather shoes has been patronized by young people.

"After several times, I figuring out that they wanted to glue the degumming shoes again."

Shop owner Mr. Qian said.

In the few places where shoes are sold, young men like to do their own work to repair shoes. This has also spawned a lot of shoe repair stalls.

Some women are more interested in looking for stores to change their shoes, especially to turn round shoes that are no longer popular.

In rouge lane, there is such a shop that can change more than 10 pairs of women's boots one day.

"In the store, a pair of new boots should be close to 1000 yuan, which can save a lot of money by changing 120 yuan here."

Miss Zhu, who is changing shoes in the shop, said.

Because of the popularity of young women's shoe changing styles, shoe shops in the past few years in Hangzhou began to "switch careers".

"Now there are more and more people changing shoes, but fewer people are shoeshine, so we have to adapt to this change."

A shoe polish boss on the stadium road said.
