Family-owned for multiple generations this was my favorite vintage watch store I visited in HK…read more Founded by Kevin and Donald Wong, this is the original shop that transformed Kwong Wa Street into the world-famous "Watch Street". It is now helmed by Donald's son Alastair Wong who was educated at Oxford and started mixing in vintage Cartier with their large Rolex selection. This is in the Yan On building where you will find other vintage dealers and more modrn gray-market watches with boxes and papers, all for under retail or below the market price. To get into London Watch you ring the bell and get buzzed in, they don't let too many people at once. The do buy, trade, and sell and when I went some watch dealers were trying to pass off a Vintage rolex that did not meet the stores scrupulous standards since the dial was refinished. Buying is easy and you can haggle, the transaction is thoroughly documented with a detailed receipt and timeographer readout for automatics. I liked this store so much I went back after visiting 7+ other vintage watch stores. Thank you London Watch!

Cute! Quaint! Tiny space! Unique off beat things!…read more I read about InBetween in the Cathay Pacific magazine while flying back from Singapore and I thought "What the heck? I live right there in Sheung Wan and am only just now hearing about this unique resale shop of sorts." A tiny spot full of antique type items, note cards, records, jewelry, frames, movie posters, old pins, tea cups, etc... a hodgepodge of stuff! It is one of those places that you simply have to go, stand in the tiny space, so your eyes can browse while your body does not move in order to take it all in. InBetween represents all that is funky, cool and hip and the Sheung Wan area. Glad I discovered it and will absolutely pop in from time to time to see new items.

Outside they have vinyl records, updated postcards (of course, they're the artsier, non-touristy kind) along with some vintage neckties to start out. Go inside and find a treasure trove of old movie posters, jewelry, high-end leather goods, and cute HK-themed iPhone cases. I walked away with a cool ring that was on sale for $300. Perfect place to go if you need a unique gift for a friend, or something quirky for yourself.

You know you've probably been walking around Sham Shui Po when HKD34/m for lace sounds a bit dear,…read morebut PITC is an embellisher's paradise. The place says it specialises in trimmings, and does it ever! It comes with the lot. Lace, beadwork, ruffles, fur, feathers and Pom poms, I saw it all, and walked away with a fair bit of it too ..... If you're the kind of crafty sort who likes to add collars to old t shirts or cardigans to jazz them up again, or if you're clever enough to make your own, this is the shop you need to know to find those small pieces that really are the finishing touch - fabulousness. Honestly I saw enough stuff I liked in here to want to come home and start attacking almost every item in my wardrobe with a glue gun or needle and thread. But I restrained myself and settled for a metre of demure lace, a metre of pink sequinned chain link embellishment, and a metre of lace and woven beadwork trim. Now to just settle on what to do with them ... Aaaaaa the possibilities ....

Muji is a popular brand in Japan and they have many stores in Hong Kong. This is a very condensed version of the full-scale store. The offerings here are meant to appeal to travelers. The product selection consists of men's and women's clothing, stationery, travel goods and a sizable snacks and grocery product selection. If you want to get clothing here, it would be best to come here before you check-in so you don't have to lug it as a carry-on. Some of the items looked a bit bulky. They do have things like travel pillows which seem pretty appealing if you are taking a long haul flight. But what drew me here was the selection of snack products. They are reasonably priced and perfect for snacking on your flight. Bought a pack of marshmallows and soymilk castella mini doughnuts for HK$10 each. Not only are the snacks here good for snacking, but they would make for a nice little return gift for someone. They are small so they don't take up too much space. If you are looking for goods to make your flight a little more comfortable or for some last minute souvenir gifts at the airport to bring back home, check out MUJI to GO.

Muji can be one of my fav brand after all…read more The original concept came from the Japanese version of oriental philosophy. No sign/label, low key, and completely focus on the quality and utilities. A bit niche market for above average price for its positioning. I love the airport one as it is conveniently located, and well selected for products category. The travel part is essential. I bought at least two neck pillows here. Yay, for sure, it is more than easy to source suit cases, eye masks, passport holders, stationary and TRAVEL TOILETERIES. Oh man, you don't wanna see the custome throw away your expensive branded moisture! Check that in and get these little travel set here and Muji. Fragnance free.

I had walked in to check out Sam's Tailor when I was in Hong Kong. I had no idea of Roshan's online…read morefollowing. I just really liked his suits that he made for Jon Hamm, and a couple formal interviews he had given for news outlets that ended up online. What impressed me, was that he wasn't trying to be like a British atelier or traditional. The shop was more concerned about self expression and having fun (find the suit he made for Jon Hamm) . Endless linnings at your disposal, as well as styles. I ended up ordering a basic black suit, on purpose. But still ended up with some signature details: modern slim peak lapel, hand pick stitching on the lapel, and slight roped shoulders. . Details you really appreciate after you walk through a department store and realize those details are something you can only get when you order custom. It's a nice subtle flex without being obnoxious. The suit fit great, with the tailored custom shirts to match. I was so impressed I ended up ordering another one. This time decided to have a little more fun with color accents. When I got back from my trip, I did a deep dive and realized I barely scratched the surface of the options that were available. After I received the 2nd suit Navy with aqua blue accents and loved it (pictured in the review). I had to order a 3rd and "Let Roshan Cook". I ended up getting the light grey suit pictured in the review. Roshan consulted personally on this one, and since it was my 3rd suit I was down to try new things: gauntlet cuffs, contrast buttons, compact 3 roll 2 (Sam's Tailor exclusive), and double accent lapel button holes. The suit turned out amazing. These people make suits for celebrities and political figures from all over the world. Don't be afraid to go with their recommendations. Overall it was a great experience, Roshan really means what he says that he will always be available for your questions about suits and style advice. Shout out to Manu Melwani (Roshan's dad), Mira, Durgee, and the rest of the staff. I had a great experience with everyone I interacted with. If you go don't be afraid to have fun with the small details.

They gave a great price for the entire suit and were very quick to tailor it to my specifications, it only took 24 hours. On top of that me and my friends got to make a video with Roshan.

Longer version (for the brave) - On my first few days in HK I've decided to explore the area around central and Hong Kong station by foot, while accidentally stumbling upon this place. While looking for it in Yelp I've realized they are quite popular around town, so now I also feel lucky! This place is a store with stacks of clothes, not sure if it's all second hand but it all looks rather vintage-y. The pieces are divided in price ranges and there are some discounts if you buy a few. It's also divided by type- you won't find the racks with mixed clothing, which makes shopping even easier. I got here once and bought a few shirts, got loads of compliments and went back to buy more. The last in the store is very nice and there's so much to chose from I really get lost - so I only went for shirts :) The store is pretty packed and hard to move in... During rush hours there are a few people inside too, a fun time indeed! This is a place I'll definitely go back to during my next visit. So cool!

Thrift shopping isn't quite a thing here in HK, and the closest thing we can get is these vintage…read moreshops. Mee & Gee is one of the few bigger names in the vintage world here in HK. It's funny how it's located right there, and the heart of Central, next to all those overpriced high-end brands. That is some 5,000 words worthy of study of Hong Kong, but I'll save it for later. You can't miss Mee & Gee if you walk through Li Yuen Street West. Minimal design or anything fancy, but you will be greeted by huge amount of clothes. Like tons. Closest to the entrance are the $5 (HKD) clothes. People constantly walking in and out, so squeeze through if you have to. The men's clothing was mostly on the second floor, so I walked up there and took a quick look. To be fair, the design of a lot of clothes there are considered out of fashion. But then, isn't fashion something just being recycled every decade? And at least, the way you carry it is all it matters. Brad Pitt and I could wear the same cloth, but being interpreted and criticized very differently... Clothes are fairly clearly categorized, all in good bargains and good conditions. I'd still recommend you to wash it before you wear it, obviously. Also, I'd pick clothes with a darker tones than a lighter ones, as some of the clothes here tend to have this old, yellowish, wash-out tones. Unless of course, that tone is exactly what you are looking for. I didn't end up buying the cloth I had in mind, mainly because I keep a minimal amount of clothes at home, and I wouldn't buy new ones unless I'm 100% certain. But yeah, at least I know the cheap option is always there.
