This place is fashion heaven! At least for the ladies ;)…read more
Ever since my relative told me about Hong Kong Industrial Centre 香港工業中心, I long to come here every time I visit Hong Kong. The building name sounds industrial and factory-like but really, the entire building is the central hub for wholesale businesses! We are looking at the latest and unique fashions, accessories, toys, and much more.
My relative told me that a lot of fashion boutique owners will come here to bulk purchase and sell the items at their own store because of the amazingly low wholesale prices. Back then, an average person like us would not be able to just come here and buy one item, you will need to buy at least 3 of the same shirt (can be in different colours). But now the economy has changed, the wholesalers have become more lenient and can sell you item by item and with discounts.
The prices are absolutely affordable and you should definitely pay a visit. Ex. I got a sweater for $100... normally it would cost around $200-$250 out in the city. I got 2 trendy lace jackets also for $100 each. The only thing is that you can't really try on anything because there is no fitting room.
If you are coming here for the first time, I suggest to explore the first two floors first. It is more popular on the first floor, but I did found some pretty good stuff on the second floor. It is just like treasure hunting ;)
Travel notes: To get to this building by subway, get off MTR Lai Chi Lok Station (Exit B1) and it is less than 5 minutes away.
