I wanted to go so badly after discovering its existence!
It's such a good time for searching those hidden treasures again!!!
Frankly speaking,I prefer old/cheap shops(the one that normal people usually tend not to go inside) or flea markets to those cliche shops.
The other major reason why I would like to visit this shop is that it's operated by an non-profitable charity to help the grassroots groups in our society.Today I've donated some old books,clothes,shoes,bag to this shop(you know,I always want to guarantee that what I've donated can get to those in need.)
And of course I've bought some nice second-hand things from the shop^^.After all,I had a great time today.
!! People are recommended to donate their old things there and they have two shops actually ;one in Sham Shui Po and the other in Sheung Sha Wan. They can come to your place and collect your ready-to-be-thrown furniture/other large appliances. !!

I love that brown handbag - very vintage!! Thanks for the english text, I'm happy cuz I can understand what is written and your blog looks very inspiring. I'm actually visiting HongKong this summer for my very first time.. and this place looks like somewhere I would want to visit and maybe find some cool vintage treasures! Would love to see more cool places (not cliche) in HongKong to visit (ps. I love to shop :)

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your encouraging comment!I love that handbag so much too!! Thanks for visiting HK and I hope you will have a nice trip here. This place is one of the cool places in HK to buy some old and special stuff^^.
Reallly, where is this shop located? I will be staying in the HKIsland area only for 5 days, do you have any tips of what you think are the best places to go to while I'm there? I also really want to buy long evening dresses and also to shop for lovely cute tops from your local designers not international brands. Thaanks alot!
ReplyDeleteThis shop is located at Kowloon part of HK actually,a place called Sham Shui Po. The address is like Sham Shui Po Lai Chi Kok Road no. 323 at the ground floor. Actually in this shop ,you may find some night gowns too!

And I think you may have heard of the shop selling handmade products called la belle epoque,right? It's also a good place to search for some special and creative stuff^^!
