Today I officially stopped in. Come to find out the brand is young, having only been founded in 2005. Clothes are indeed made with natural fibers that are designed to be particularly resistant yet worn as every day wear. Mohairs, cotton, jersey, etc...thus I was not too off by picking this up in their window display. The shop is small and I felt like there was not very much product to see. Nobody said hello to me as I flipped through the clothes around the shop for a few minutes. Clothes are piced in the $1000-$3000 price range on average (not on sale and this is what I was seeing for fall/winter clothing) for stuff that I was not sure about on craftsmanship or quality. There were some unknowns in my head as I perused the racks. Maybe a line to watch as it grows in the world or maybe another Yelper can contribute more info about what I should love about this line or this store, but to me it gets a Yelp 3. The Yelper who wrote the review in August of 2014 before mine loves this brand, but based on her photos she was shopping during the summer sale time.

I wish the store was closer to home!…read more Manila Grace is a women's clothing store located away from the crazy hustle and bustle in Causeway Bay. The store feels so fresh as soon as you walk in. There are lots of blues, whites, creams and other calming colors throughout. Manila Grace is an Italian brand that houses casual, chic clothing. The styles are very relaxed and the fabrics are light and airy. I saw many pieces that I would consider wearing in the store that looked comfortable, but also had a bit of an edge to them. According to my husband, who thinks he pegged my style, this is a classy hippy clothing store. Manila Grace also has some very unique accessories which are available for purchase. They have gorgeous scarves and I was infatuated with their partially woven jewelry. I found a necklace that I liked that was half rose gold colored, and the other half is woven. and the salesperson kept showing it to me in different colors. When I finally selected the one I wanted to purchase, she showed me a different length of the necklace which made my decision making even more challenging. Manila Grace brings style to classic comfort. This is a very popular style in Hong Kong, so this store will probably be around for a while. Prices are mid-ranged and they use high quality fabrics so that clothing will last.

I live in the area and stumbled upon Lianca today. A great store for all leather goods. High…read morequality, very reasonably priced, so very well made, all things leather. Hangbags, business card holders, keychains, wallets, bracelets, totebags, book covers, cell phone covers. Variations in color (from brights to browns) and variations in style of the same item (flaps, snaps or folds if you prefer). We bought a business card holder but will definatley be back for gifts and other accessories. It would be a great place to buy a great gift for someone special or maybe even yourself. I love that I found this store! It is at the corner of Stuanton & Graham. It does have a sunken front entrance, but don't let this discourage you from going inside. It is a leather gem!

I dislike carrying coin change as much as the next person. However, I actively try to get rid of my…read morechange unlike most men (my husband included.) That's right - I am one of THOSE who love to pay for things with exact change! In HK, not only do they have coins for cents, but they also have coins for dollar denominations ($1, 2, 5, 10.) Some establishments refuse to accept coins under $1, so to keep things organized I was in search of a coin purse with 2 compartments. Lianca Central fit the bill! This HK leather shop has some gorgeous accessories, along with a good assortment of quality Italian nylon goods. I found a beautiful 2 zip coin pouch in blue and tan leather that was the perfect size I was looking for. The staff is very helpful - it's very likely that they have multiple colours of the styles on display so don't be afraid to ask. Bottom line, this is a lovely shop to visit if you're looking for a nice gift or a memorable HK souvenir.

Being an avid New York shopper, I jumped at the chance to check out this department store/fabled…read moreshopping mecca that we don't have back in the states. Situated in a building that houses both offices and other high end (very high end) stores such as Celine, Balenciaga, and Alexander McQueen, it's a nice location for anyone who wants to hit all the fashion powerhouses at once and potentially drop a mortgage. One of best parts of the store is the customer service. The salespeople go out of their way to greet you--you're lucky if you even get a cold stare by NY salespeople! I liked the selection for the women's department. A nice mix of known and upcoming designers. The display is well done, perhaps slightly crowded. I ended up purchasing something from L4 and was helped by a lovely salesperson Bubbles. She was not too pushy but made sure to let me know she would help me if I had any questions. Definitely a place to stop if you're a shopping fiend like me!

One of my favourite places to shop for cosmetics is at Harvey Nichols. There are many throughout…read moreHong Kong, but the one I most frequent is at Pacific Place. I don't know what it is with me and Pacific Place. Perhaps it's pretty much where I grew up and I know it like the back of my hand, but I just find is so convenient and I can get everything I possibly need, while have lunch and watch a movie then have dinner. It's just a do it all at one place kind of deal. Perhaps this review should be about Pacific Place. But what I really want to talk about is Harvey Nichols. If you want to be in one place and do all your shopping for high brand cosmetics, shoes, fashion etc. then harvey Nichols is one of the best places to do that. I recommend you go in with a list of things you need, because otherwise, you may come out with a list of things you didn't ever think you needed. One thing about Harvey Nichols is that their sales people are very hard sellers. I don't know if it is Hong Kong in general, it probably is, women hard sell other women like no other place i've ever seen. It's part of the culture here. They just happen to know your soft spot and go in for the kill. Don't get swept up in the frenzy, stick hard to your list and hunt for what you need. Most times you will find what you're looking for if its high end things. For example, I ran out of Shu Uemura face wash the other day. I knew exactly what I needed, and I went for it. Did the ladies try to sell me on their newest moisturiser? Of course! Did I succumb? Nope. It takes self-control and strong will but you'll be able to do it. In the mean time, get inspired! See the newest trends/products. Learn about them and take a mental note. It's the best place for knowing all the latest beauty gimmicks.

They close at 9pm, which I believe is an hour earlier than the mall does. Their staff is very helpful and always willing to help you out. One caveat of this location is that they often run out of the smaller sizes, so they're often left with the medium and large sizes during sales. This is probably die to the fact that their store is a tad smaller than other typical Uniqlo stores around the city.

So you see little shops and then a big clean H&M store at the end of the street. The men section gets it's own floor at least. They got all the basics and the women gets two floors of clothes. You'll see a lot of Chinese and foreigners in this store wandering about. I personally found some cool items in the men section. Things I didn't see in Causeway Bay H&M, and I love finding new things. Clean store, good items and consistent with H&M brand. And it's a big store. Love it!

The prices are very good, the clothes are good quality and the staff is helpful. We stopped in for a look and ended up spending $900 HKD to get $200 off. We got about 10 items ranging from pants, a jacket, a few shirts and two sweaters. The second time we stopped in (two days later), the promotion ended however, there were discounts on certain items throughout the store.

The store is beautiful and offers a wide array of different items, from clothing to arts and crafts and jewelry.
