Insider Find: Suzhou Cobblers (8621/6321-7087, suzhou-cobblers.com), in Shanghai, where proprietor Denise Huang and her employees sew silk slippers. The elegant slip-ons come with names like Mandarin Duck and Propaganda, and each pair comes in a velvet bag. The shop is a little hard to find, tucked into a section of older buildings near the now-hip Bund neighborhood.
