Unique shops to bring home Hong Kong specialties
Hong Kong is definitely one of Asia's best shopping heavens. This city does not lack shopping centers with price ranging from high to low. Shopping in Hong Kong, however, can escalate into something more fun if you know the right places to shop.

 
  • Kapok on Sun Street

    For Shoes and Satchels, Tea Sets and Toile.

    Hong Kong’s luxury-brand boutiques can overshadow design talent. Kapok, in Wanchai, fights back with a collection of goods from around the world. Soft leather bags by California company Marie Turnor are sold alongside biodegradable cups and bowls from Japan. Some of the best items are designed locally, such as a bone china tea set by designer Mariko Jesse decorated in a modern toile pattern.

    Address: 3 Sun St., Ground Floor, Wan Chai.

  • Fungus Workshop

    For Custom Leather Goods.

    “We make everything by hand ourselves,” says Baldwin Pui, coproprietor of this leather goods shop in Sheung Wan. He and his three business partners came to leatherworking with a reverence for the craftsmanship of unique handmade goods, and they now make modern and vintage-inspired satchels, handbags, camera cases, and wallets. Some of their smaller items are on hand in the shop, but most are made to order to each customer’s specifications.

    Address: 4 Po Hing Fong, Sheung Wan, Ground Floor.

Check out the silk and cotton blouses printed with bright, watercolor-like designs; neon shirt-dresses accented with wide, contrasting sashes; oxford shoes constructed from a combination of colorful leather and clear plastic; and necklaces made from bright beads that could almost be mistaken for candy.
