Dim Sum has curated a collection of gifts and everyday items from the most talented artists across the country. We did the legwork so you don't have to. Many items can be custom ordered in your size, color and shape of choice. Shopping here should feel like having the very best museum gift shops in one place.
After years of “popping up” around Philadelphia in coffee shops, salons and restaurants, Dim Sum’s curated collection of jewelry and gifts by some of the most talented artisans in the world is now showing at The SPACE (749 S. 8th Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19147). You can now stop by on most evenings and weekends to see and shop.
