The snail mail that I receive in Hong Kong periodically gets forwarded to me and I just got my latest batch this week with some very tempting catalogues and VIP card offers (many of the chain stores in Hong Kong offer VIP cards to their customers – apparently, as long as you can pay about USD20 a year, you’re an instant VIP….!).
I was looking over at the 2% (a sort of Hong Kong high street brand) catalogue and lamenting about why I can’t go back till August (even got a little weepy!). Hong Kong is brilliant for shopping for cheap clothes that are very trend led. Think Topshop, and then half or sometimes quarter the price. It may not last very long but for faddy clothes I think thats perfectly ok. Having said that, I’ve bought some ridiculously cheap things from Hong Kong that have lasted me to this very day despite heavy wear. Hong Kong high street clothes also lean towards more interesting cuts or features because generally speaking, avant-garde design appeals to HK-ers due to Japanese influence as well.
Just some taster things that I want….
OMG I LOVE 2% when i visit hk i always have huge sprees there. i own a collection of cute things from them. their other brands are very cute too.
Oh, I love that blue dress and that grey dress so much. I must go to Hong Kong and shop.
Loving those first two looks. (Ahh…I wish I were going to HK! Haven’t been there in so long…!)
it’s weird…the grey dress reminds me of a dress from vanessa bruno s/s 2006…
why don’t they sell online? 🙁
wow! I’m completly in love with the collection! I never heard about this brand but now I MUST go back to HK!….
do you know the price of the grey dress?
the clothes are magnificent!
The most fabulous thing about these clothes is the price – I can guarantee you nothing there is over HKD300 – which is about USD40
