Vestiaire Collective
The world’s number one online platform for pre-owned luxury designer clothes and accessories made its debuts in Hong Kong in 2016 and has since then be offering great opportunities for all the fashionistas out there to buy highly desirable designer pieces at a fraction of their initial price but with authenticity guarantees. I love the thrill of finding a beautiful piece on Vestiaire Collective, something that I may have missed out in stores a few years ago and has been in my mind since then (am I the only one to get such obsessions?). Not to mention the platform connects you with buyers and sellers from all around the world offering you with even more opportunities to find that special piece. And because it’s second-hand fashion, it’s definitely eco-friendlier than visiting one of the city’s malls for a shopping spree. Just saying.

HULA
Just like Vestiaire Collective, HULA is an online market place for pre-owned designer womenswear but this one is a local kid, born and raised in Hong Kong aka founded by Sarah Fung, a local entrepreneur with extensive experience in the fashion industry. All the fashion pieces you will find on HULA are hardly worn and from the best designer brands (think Céline, Chanel, Chloé, Isabel Marant, Saint Laurent and Valentino to name a few), sourced from fashion insiders and with up to 95% discount. Another great option to add amazing clothes and accessories to your closet while reducing textiles waste.

The little ones grow so fast! Did you know that kids speed through seven sizes of clothing in the first two years of their lives? The questions are:
How to keep on buying stylish and qualitative clothes for your kids without breaking the bank?
What to do with their good as new clothes once they’ve outgrown them after only wearing them a few times?
Retykle gives you the opportunity to both buy and sell designer children’s clothing at a fraction of their retail price. Easy on your wallet and on the environment!

Slowood
The most beautiful zero-waste concept-store in town (we absolutely love their Kennedy Town branch) also have a website promoting slow-living with a variety of healthy and eco-friendly products hand-picked from New-Zealand, Canada, the Netherlands and more … Think organic grocery, bulk food, bulk beauty, household refill and clean sustainable lifestyle products such as candles, reusable cutlery, kitchen items … I love that everything they store isn’t only eco-friendly but also comes with sleek design. And I must confess a little addiction to their vegan bulk candies.
