Despite some odd punctuation usage in their brand name and logo, Z.T Bags does what it says on the…read moretin. It sells bags. With seven location dotted around HK Island, Kowloon and the NT, you will never be short of a bag shop again. Their main focus is on functional bags made from water resistant materials. They carry a large stock of sports bags and small rucksacks, as well as camera bags, computer bags, fashion bags (for the ladies), etc. I particularly like their bags that are super functional, a sort of rucksack, courier bag, laptop case, all in one. The brands they hold (Musou and ZOF) are not particularly known, so no Prada or LV, but they are of good quality and quite cost effective. Really, at that price, if it falls apart after a few months, just get another. They have a website with all of their products, but the site is a bit buggy and you can't actually buy from it (even though it does give you the option to). It does, however, actually show the products and has a bolt load of information both in English and Chinese. Check them out, the shop staff are really pleasant and ready to help.

I like this shop because it's a bags only shop. Quite convenient if all you're looking for is a bag…read moreright? That's my case at the moment! I have been to various sports shops in Wan Chai and Causeway Bay just looking for a rucksack and they all had the same problem: little selection, they are more focused on other sports items, especially clothes. I happened to walk by this shop today and decided to have a look inside. Good decision...they have all kinds of bags: sports, laptop, casual...I'm not very keen on the design of the casual ones and wouldn't buy one of those for myself, they look too 'pragmatic'. But that's all I need for my rucksack as I'm planning to use it for hiking and backpacking (light lugagge). I found the perfect one, thanks to the help of one members of the staff; she was spot on with my bag picking one that's within my price range (470 HKD), water resistant, quality material, big enough for possibly a week of backpacking and perfect as a hand luggage. The only decision that remains to be done is color! As I wanted to buy an unisex for use by a few at home. I'm going back tomorrow for the yellow one finally. The options are broad and variety is great. Looking for a functional good quality bag? This is the place.

Love this Muji store at New Town Plaza in Shatin. It is in Phase 3, where you can find lots of…read moreretailers alongside this storefront in the lower level. The store layout is easy to explore starting with the food and beverage section upfront. Next, there is women's fashion and men's fashion, followed by beauty and home supplies. The area is well maintained and clutter-free despite volumes of visitors on the daily. The styles are very Japan-esque and the clothes are very comfy and quality. The stationary section is super well stocked and prices are very reasonable too. I always look forward to visiting this store to stock up on supplies and to find new items to take home. The cashier is extremely efficient and the long lines move fast. Paying with Octopus, Alipay, or credit can earn you points on The Point app, but cash is also welcome.

Like many others, I am a fan of Muji... except for their stringent return policy. Be sure that you…read moretotally love the product and it's a good fit before you head to the register. Compare to other Muji locations in Hong Kong, this one is not as big, though it still is a big store. If simple, earth tone, cotton and linen is your style, you'll enjoy shopping here. Their price is not cheap, but neither is their product. You can shop here rest assured that the product is high quality and well made, not something that may look good but break apart soon.

I have to start off by saying that this store is essentially the Japanese 100 yen store called…read moreDAISO which in Hong Kong is called "Living Plaza by Aeon", because Aeon is the local distributor of the goods. I have been traveling through this airport for years and I only recently discovered this store on my last trip. So if you need to do a google search for more locations, search under the name "Living Plaza by Aeon". Back in New York, the Daiso chain has finally started to make an appearance on the east coast. Their stores are more concentrated in the west coast with a few in the mid west. The airport location is large for an airport store, with a variety of great products! I tell you this from a standpoint of having been abroad in Japan and having seen some of their Daiso locations myself. I feel the need to give this disclaimer: of course it is more cheaper to go visit Daiso in Japan (everything there will be priced starting at 100 yen). If that is not feasible to you, then visiting this store is more reasonable despite the higher cost. (12HKD = 166 yen approximately). After checking in our bags at Terminal 1, we actually walked back all the way to Terminal 2 with our carry-ons (walk took about 12-15 mins walking quickly) in order to visit this store before boarding our flight. If you time it right on your next trip, you too can have a mini speed shopping spree (save room in your carry-on if you can!). I will call this store a higher end dollar store; a dollar store on steroids if you will. They have travel pillows, typical travel accessories you would really need on your journey, but they also offer a great home section: home decor, home organization, kitchen; laundry section (I picked up a cute laundry bag!), a beauty section and much more. The stationary section is so cute. I couldn't decide which pens to buy so I just walked over to the wall and grabbed a whole bunch! They make great souvenirs too and since they are so unique everybody at work will know this pen only belongs to you and you only! As the other reviewer has commented on, the pricing starts at $12 HKD which is affordable. My laundry bag was on the pricier side of $60HKD but if you compare it to something you would buy at typically Bed Bath and Beyond or Target, then I still think it's better due to quality and price comparison. There is a whole section for toys, dishes/bowls, snacks, hobbies (sewing, gardening, etc) and random tools/gadgets. I had found this baby stroller S hook and a baby stroller blanket clamp to secure the blanket from falling out, something I had been searching for in a few Daiso locations in Japan couldn't locate. I gave these out to my expecting friends as gifts (I don't think it's something you think about or see often in use in the US). If I had more room in my suitcase I would have shopped more. The store wasn't crowded when we stopped by and the cashier was friendly and courteous. I believe they accept Octopus card payment/Cash/Credit Card. Left a hefty balance on your Octopus card? Spend it here! For those of you returning to the East Coast, Daiso currently has two stores open: one in Edgewater, NJ by Mitsuwa Market and another in Skyview Center in Flushing, NY (both stores opened in 2019). I can't wait to return again, it is my new favorite spot to spend my layover time! Safe journeys and happy shopping!

Whether you have hours to kill before your next flight, in need of a quick small gift for someone…read moreyou're about to see, or need some travel accessories for your luggage, be sure to make time to visit this large shop in Terminal 2. No boarding passes are required to reach the area the shop is located in, so you can easily access it if you are at the airport. This store sells everything from socks to pet toys to travel pillows to makeup to plates/bowls/utensils. All made in good quality given its extremely low prices. If items are not marked with a specific price, then it's assumed to be only HK$12! Most other items that are pricier, like a travel neck pillow will run approximately HK$25 and thick nylon tote bags with zippers for around HK$60. All still very affordable for an airport store! The shop is always neatly organized and the employees are polite and speak English. A plastic shopping bag will run you $0.50. I could spend hours here, but alas, there's a flight to catch!

So many things to buy and many interesting food items to check out. And yep, we stuffed our groceries in our designer bags too :( Extremely crowded on weekdays evenings and all day on weekends.

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 deals were so good, we wanted to buy more but our suitcases were too full already. I would definitely shop at this store again the next time I am in Hong Kong!
