Being French, born and raised in Paris, one of the thing that stroked me when I landed in Hong Kong 3 years ago was the lack of private sales and second hand options for clothes. In Paris, I would usually wait for press sales to buy pieces from my favourite designer brands, I would regularly scroll Vestiaire Collective on the look for second-hand designer pieces and I would eagerly wait for Arlettie ’s weekly sale. Hong Kong was nothing like that. Was because things have started to change: invitation-only private sales by OnTheList, launching of Vestiaire Collective, Me&Co pop-up sales of pre-loved clothes… and HULA.
