Wan Chai Shops

Dark and moodily-lit, the emphasis here is on industrial, old-world home goods, which might sound strange, but is actually quite cool: There are old-fashioned enamel hooks, simple mugs and plates, along with everyday-useful things, like the perfect broom. (It’s from the same team as Homeless, so expect a similarly extensive array.) There's also an outpost in Central.

This is one of those kids-focused shops that has huge appeal, even if you don’t have little ones back at home: Primarily because it’s more lifestyle boutique than toy store, and many of the design-centric picks would look right at home on someone’s coffee table, rather than in the playroom. (Meanwhile, you’ll want all the clothing in adult sizes.)

This much-loved Hong Kong staple has plenty to appeal to everyone, from Maison Kitsuné tops to the Astier de Villatte candles.

Occupying a sun-drenched corner in one of the sweetest little shopping squares in Hong Kong (Star, Sun, and St. Francis Yard sit just above one of the city’s busiest drags), this sliver of a space offers everything you’d expect from the magazine-turned-lifestyle-brand.
