Shopping |
The
city's youth culture is fast developing and specific shops can be
found to cater to their demands. These cool, funky, hip, fresh,
and alternative youths often strive for the latest and trendiest
items. In Hong Kong, one will be able to find all the latest paraphernalia,
such as books, clothing, fashion accessories, and music.
Where:
 |
International-chain music stores in Causeway Bay and Tsim Tsa
Tsui offer popular sounds from around the world |
|
Unconventional fashion is in vogue at Beverley Commercial Centre,
Kimberley Road in Tsim Tsa Tsui, and on Sai Yeung Choi Street
in Mong Kok. |
Outlets
and warehouses are often popular stops for shoppers who like expensive
and branded items but are not willing to pay much for them. Many
of these outlets buy overruns and 'unsymmetrical' items from factories
where international brands such as Emanuel Ungaro and Donna Karan
are made. The outlets then sell these items at wholesale prices.
Local designers also have their own warehouses where they offer
outfits from collections that are only a season or two old.
