I only give this place a 4 because I have not had an opportunity to wear many of my purchases and…read morelaunder them to know how the quality will stand up over some time. But I love COS and love that I discovered this store. I am not a fashionista, but I do love well made clothes that look taylored and yet have room to function and move. I always read care labels before a purchase and I do shy away from merino wool because it can pull and not wash well if not extremely well made. COS does have many pieces made of merino wool, so I kind of looked past these items. The clothes might use a lesser quality fabric on many pieces, but the cut and tayloring is current and comparable to items you would find in any high end retailer. The clothes, brand and price point kind of make me think of this brand as higher end than an H&M, less quality and cheaper price than Saks Fifth Avenue brands, equal in cut, structure and function as Marimekko and other equaivalent cut, high-end clothing lines in many ways and very current in the realm of what is happening in fashion. Simple lines, simple colors, modern. For business or casual, COS offers classic pieces I hope to have in my wardrobe for some time. COS is out of England. As stated on their website: "COS is a fashion brand for women and men who want modern, functional, considered design. Offering reinvented classics and wardrobe essentials, we create pieces that are made to last beyond the season. Traditional methods and new techniques merge to form timeless, understated collections. Since launching in 2007, we have opened stores worldwide in carefully considered locations, applying an architectural design concept that preserves buildings' original features whilst creating a modern, welcoming space." The store itself is a two story structure. Lots of staff if you needed assistance and pretty open space to browse around. Men's clothes are on the second floor. Store seems well organized. There are some comfortable seats throughout if you had a spouse who needed to park it while you look around.

Before departing for Hong Kong I thought to search and see if the city had a COS (H&M's high end…read morecousin) and to my surprise and delight, they had not one but two locations! COS (Collection Of Style) was a wardrobe staple of mine when I lived in London. (COS hasn't yet made it to the USA.) As a regular COS shopper I knew the sizing of the clothes here is often variable (in some items I'm an XS, others I'm a M) so I took armloads into the dressing room. I think this is a good strategy in almost any shop (if you're going to go through the hassle to take your clothes off to try on one item, you might as well try on six, right?) but even moreso here. Think you're a medium? Take a small and a large in with you too! This COS shop is on the medium-large side, with two stories and women's, men's and children's offerings. I tried on heaps of clothing and ended up going home with a fun grey jumper whose sleeves you can turn up to reveal a bright blue inside lining, an oversized sweatshirt dress and a cashmere hat. COS is definitely worth a look if you want to inject some Scandinavian cool into your closet.

As opposed to the rest of them Zara is not a designer store, neither a high end brand. It's a medium quality, good design clothing and accessories' store. We all know Zara. It may be argued that it does not match in this location but I think it's great that it's there. Today I wanted to buy a bag and it was almost an emergency...I had kept an old one for way too long. As Topshop in Queensway doesn't have many bags (if any at all) I headed to Zara. None of the other stores crossed my mind. What's more: I knew I could find what I was after - a big black bag, rather simple. This season is plagued with those, with a good range of qualities and prices. I finally got Trafaluc one and I love it, it does its job and it's nicely designed. They also have some pretty brown leather bags in this collection. I did have a look at the clothes too; Zara HK is different to Europe's stores (the ones I know) in many ways...not only the design is more minimalistic and the lines simpler but it is also more expensive and it's positioning differs from Europe's. I found the current collection a little boring but still, great to have a Zara just 2 minutes away from my office!

All top quality, great fabrics and accurate in perfect fit. Obviously there are lots of tailors in Hong Kong. We think Charlie Chang is top notch, local and a good business man. He also speaks English.

To top it up, check out their wide range of accessories to complement your outfit. I will be very disappointed if I dont get to shop at Chapel when in Hong Kong. :) Check out the larger outlet at Level 2 of Hotel Ramada just across the street!

So, I don't need to say much about the product. You can find well tailored suits, blazers, collared shirts for both formal and casual days/nights. The price points are on the higher end. A jacket can cost 3,500hkd. I've noticed that, not only in J. Crew, prices in HK are doubled, sometimes tripled, what you would pay in the USA. But, you pay for quality! The staff here is extremely helpful and they do not put pressure on you to purchase. Clean layout and very organized store. See you later J. Crew!

It all started at Harajuku in 2006. I was lucky enough to be there in Tokyo when the first ever…read morebranch of Topshop/Topman was opened in Asia. I didn't know that it was a big deal back 8 years ago, of course, when I was just roaming around Harajuku. This UK brand impressed me immediately. Simple, easy wearing, and the choice of colour is unique. And swear to god, I haven't been wearing any clothes or shirts with a big arse logo on my chest for my life. I pay for what I wear already, so I'm not going to be your portable ad billboard. Topman never does it, which adds to the reason that I like it so much. It was there in Singapore, then it was there in Sydney. Again I was lucky enough to be there when it opened. Then it was Shenzhen, and it drove people mad to have it in China first before Hong Kong. But on the side, I was glad it hadn't come to HK just yet, as it would soon be over-worn by everyone once they're here. Finally Topshop was here, and Topman followed soon after. I was disappointed, in a way I already expected so. First, everything was overpriced. Yeah rent is expensive in HK, but I hate to know that I can get the same thing much cheaper even in Singapore or Japan. Second, designs and choices of colour were compromised, or adjusted, to fit into the so-called HK vibe. Which also means that they give up the uniqueness of its brand, and that was also why I walked through the shop once, and remembered none of the clothes they had in display. Two stars maybe a bit harsh, but it is a brand I loved for more than 8 years, so I guess that's justified. Way to go Topman, I'll come back for your winter/spring selection to see if you have improved.
