Hula
56-58 Hollywood Rd., Central
This luxury consignment shop on Hollywood Road stocks vintage items from legacy designers—Gucci crossbodies, Bottega Veneta mules, etc.—as well as more recent finds, like almost-new Ulla Johnson knits and barely-worn Zimmermann party dresses. If you’re looking for something in particular or shopping for an event, the sales associates are eager to help and know the collection well.
K11 Musea
18 Salisbury Rd., Tsim Sha Tsui
When K11 Musea opened in 2019, it firmly established itself as the glittering gem of Tsim Sha Tsui’s already impressive shopping scene. It’s architecturally marvelous, full of art, and stuffed with major luxury brands, from Chloé and Maison Margiela to local boutique Kapok. Plus: a Fortnum & Mason tea room, a jewelry workshop by Van Cleef & Arpels, Kube coffee shop (which sells % Arabica brews), and a rooftop farm and aquarium.
The Armoury
501 Pedder Building, 12 Pedder St., Central
In a city known for its dime-a-dozen custom tailors, the Armoury quickly made a name for itself when it started offering bespoke men’s clothing by top craftsman from Spain, Italy, and the UK. The high-ceilinged, dark wood-paneled space serves as a backdrop for an assortment of colorful Drake’s ties and suede Aldens for the modern gentleman. It’s the kind of place you can walk into and leave with a whole new wardrobe that’s tailor-made just for you. Bonus: the concierge-like shop staff is happy to tell you if your sportcoat is too big in the shoulders, or if you can really pull off that double-breasted jacket.
Goods of Desire
6 D'Aguilar Street, Central
Abbreviated to G.O.D., Goods of Desire began as a small retail space in Ap Lei Chau in 1996. Since then it's grown into a larger Hong Kong lifestyle brand with multiple locations. They sell women's, men's, and kid's clothing but we go for their fun home accessories.
Select 18
Shop 14, G/F, Tung St., Sheung Wan
The front of Select 18 is packed to overflowing with an array of antiques, jewelry from local artists, and vintage pieces. Americana, typewriters, handbags, 1970's designer clothing...you could stumble upon pretty much anything and everything in the small space. There's also a trove of vintage sunglasses—it's hard to leave with just one pair.
PYE
Shop 111, Pacific Place, Admiralty
If there’s one thing we—and the rest of the world—can’t get enough of, it’s tailored shirting. And in a city known for its renowned tailors, no one was up to the task of creating a store devoted entirely to the perfect button down more than up-and-coming entrepreneur Dee Poon. Located in Pacific Place mall in Hong Kong, this minimalist, wood-accented space features a dozen ready-made, predominantly white shirts in everything from classic poplin to twill.
The Toys Club
9/F South China Building, 1-3 Wyndham Street, Central
Kids go absolutely nuts in this place. And even if you're traveling sans kids, check out this toy stores for a little memento to bring back. The Toys Club is the local mega-store in Hong Kong—absolutely everything a child would ever wish for. It also has a huge book department.
International Finance Centre
8 Finance St., Central
The IFC, which is right on the water and also houses The Four Seasons (if you’re in for a luxury shopping trip), is the best place to go shopping in HK. It has all the basic, big name brands plus every single luxury brand you can think of. It can be dangerous if you’re a serious shopper—you could spend an entire weekend here without seeing the light of day.
Lane Crawford
1 Matheson St., Causeway Bay
"Lane Crawford is a beautifully decorated, incredibly well-selected specialty store. It’s the only place in HK where you’ll find varied brands like Acne, Elizabeth and James, Moncler, Vanessa Bruno, etc. It was definitely my favorite find at the IFC with its beautiful displays of contemporary art and huge and equally well-edited homeware department." —GP
