The history of Hong Kong is tied to commerce. The city started as a place where the British could trade with the Chinese for everything from silk to porcelain. Even today, this pearl on the doorstep to Asia is full of stylish stores, bustling markets and impressive malls where you can find everything from handcrafted jewellery to international fashion brands.
There’s an unmistakable sense of refinement when you step into Lane Crawford. As Hong Kong’s most iconic luxury department store, it’s the stylish destination for locals and visitors alike to shop the latest trends in fashion, beauty and homeware. While its multiple locations all offer similar curated collections, the flagship store at IFC Mall, which spans over 6000 feet of retail space, is the one to go to as it’ll feel like you’re shopping in someone’s very beautiful and sophisticated apartment.

K11 Musea
The mall culture in Asia is unlike one you’ll find anywhere else in the world. Between its convenient locations and wide variety of shops, restaurants and entertainment, the mall is more than a place to shop, eat and hang out, it’s an escape. Case in point: The sleek 10-storey K11 Musea is not only a fashionable shopping space with a range of illustrious brands like Loewe, Burberry and Cos, but also an beautifully-designed cultural hub that fuses design and retail space together with its rotation of high fashion and art events for the community.
Known for its traditional meets contemporary designs, Shanghai Tang is a luxury Hong Kong fashion house much loved for its alluring 1920s-inspired Shanghainese silhouettes and tailoring since its founding in 1994. Pick up an exquisite souvenir to gift to friends or better yet, channel Su Li-Zhen in her many cheongsams from the 2000’s classic In the Mood for Love with an investment-worthy design from the brand’s flagship store in Pacific Place Mall. Slip on one of its beautifully designed qipaos and explore the city’s historical landmarks (like Pottinger Street or Heritage 1881) to take nostalgic snaps for your Instagram feed.

PMQ
Founded in 2010 as a conservation project in Hong Kong, the former Police Married Quarters was rejuvenated into a unique centre for the creative arts community. The ‘50s architecture was preserved and now houses over 100 local design enterprises, who have converted each of the residential units into small boutiques and design studios. Come to not only experience a little piece of Hong Kong history, but also shop for locally handmade products including jewellery, clothing and homeware to bring back home as souvenirs.
