Shopping recommendations in Hong Kong

[DianaT1969]

Going next week. Any particular bargains that I should look out for?
Thanks in advance.

Hopeful bump

It's been a while since I've been but Watson's (like Boots or Superdrug) are always fun to browse, they'll have lots of Korean and Japanese beauty products and a lot of the more popular Japanese SPFs. I'd definitely get some of those and look out for the mists (great for topping up) as aerosols can't be shipped by post so only really available there. Sasa is a great sort of giant discount beauty supermarket with high end brands, just be mindful some of it can be older stock.

I've had this post bookmarked and it'll give you some more options.

Clothing really depends on your size. I do think it's always worth looking at tailoring when in Asia. If you have any beloved pieces in your current wardrobe that are about to fall apart from loving wear, it's worth taking them along to have replicated.

Wan chai market is interesting to walk around. There’s a couple of good chemists that sell well known brands and lots of minis there that are always interesting to look around ( bonjour & Sasa) . Also there’s some shops around there that sell discounted designer wear and Coast etc.
Stanley market is always good. We used to buy a lot from Sun & moon and still go there when we re-visit. The shops look like they are full of junk but they stock varying well known brands.last year I picked up silk jigsaw tops for 10 dollars. Vivid linen is also in Stanley and is worth a browse. I’m living in their double layer linen trousers this summer.
I’m not sure where all the upmarket discounted designer shops have gone though. They used to be in the same building as Shanghai tang in the town centre. But I think they’ve moved. We also used to go to Shenzhen for the day to have clothes made but it never really worked well.

@botemp and @teta thank you so much. That really helps and gives me an idea of where to head. I'll have 5 days over a weekend, so should get around. Thanks
