Chinese luxury consumers are spending more on ready-to-wear and new labels, a notable shift in the behaviour and tastes of the world's top spenders, a Reuters survey of retailers in the United States, Asia and Europe showed. Analysts estimate more than two thirds of luxury purchases by Chinese buyers is done overseas, mainly in shopping hotspots such as Paris, Milan, London, New York and Tokyo, which can offer savings of more than 50 percent compared with China prices thanks to foreign exchange rates, tax refunds and other discounts.

Chinese vendors pile squash to sell at a local food market on October 14, 2015 in Beijing, China. China's inflation rate rose 1.6 percent in September, falling short of expectations of a 1.4% increase. The consumer price index, which measures changes in what consumers pay for goods and services, has been edging higher mainly due to higher vegetable and pork prices. The latest figures underscore concerns of economic trouble in the world's second largest economy. China's government is expected to announce a new five-year economic plan later this month.
