Shop local
Sindart may be tiny, but it has some notable fans, such as the
legendary fashion icon, Iris Apfel, who recently purchased
bespoke designed items here. The store focuses on handmade
embroidered shoes from third generation owner, Miru
Wong. In addition to traditional motifs, Wong also has modern
designs that appeal to the fashion forward. For handbags and
scarves inspired by quintessential Hong Kong, try Louella
Odié. The stylish items can be found at the Four Seasons,
HKTDC Design Gallery, and Thorn&Burrow, a lifestyle
and homewares store that stocks a curated on-trend range.
louellaodie.com For unique Hong Kong gifts, Goods of
Desire (G.O.D), always has its finger on the pulse with its
offering of playful clothing and lifestyle products. god.com.hk
Hong Kong experiences
Neighbourhood gentrification continues, with some being
worthy of exploration. For example, Tai Ping Shan Street
and its side lanes offer an interesting mix of the old (temples,
traditional stores) and new (restaurants, bars, galleries, fashion
designers, quirky antique stores). The neighbourhood of Tai
Hang is also a good place for discovery. If the green side
appeals, head to one of the lesser visited outlying islands
such as Po Toi. There is always the ever-present option to
take in the breath-taking beauty that surrounds Hong Kong
from the comfort of a chartered luxury yacht by Riviera
Orientale (various packages available), champagne in hand.
