Whether you’re traveling and searching for some superb stores to visit on your trip or are curious about your local vintage treasure chests, Vogue’s directory has you covered.
Hong Kong teems with shopping malls, arcades, and street markets—and, as it just so happens, a collection of vintage stores that are absolutely worth the trip. With a chain of Salvation Army–esque stores that is beloved by locals (Mee & Gee) and another institution that is filled with Americana vibes (Midwest Vintage), the vintage scene here is eclectic.
In addition to designer consignment shops where you can find pristine pre-owned goods, there’s a selection of high-personality vintage shops you should check out.
Below, our guide to the best vintage stores in Hong Kong, curated with the help of the editors at Vogue Hong Kong.
Hula Boutique and Hula Warehouse
Opened in 2017, Hula is an online designer consignment shop with two locations in Hong Kong (one dubbed the Boutique, the other the Warehouse). The vibe? Impeccably curated consignments in impeccable conditions—serious labels only. From hard-to-find Alaïa dresses to Hermès bags, Hula has a trove of pieces; browsing the site is just as fun as an in-person shopping spree.
Address: Hula Boutique: Shop C, Ground Floor 56-58 Hollywood Rd, Central, Hong Kong
Address: Hula Warehouse: 404, Berkshire House, 25 Westlands Road, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong
Little Dot Vintage
For a proper vintage store—a bit of quirk; a lot of product!—head to Little Dot. This is a high-personality store with a high-personality owner who skillfully styles her pieces on her store’s Instagram account. If your love of vintage transcends labels (and you have an appreciation for unbranded vintage fashion, accessories, and jewelry from the ’60s, ’70, and ’80s, you will be right at home at Little Dot—especially since there is an assortment of vintage memorabilia that adds to the nostalgia.
Address: 47 Granville Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
Mee & Gee
Hong Kong’s answer to the Salvation Army? It’s Mee & Gee. At this Hong Kong–based thrift store chain (with several locations across the city) you’ll find ultra-inexpensive clothing on racks upon racks. Expect to sift through all the offerings, and do expect that love-it-or-hate-it thrift store aroma.
Address: 64 Tung Choi St, Mong Kok, Hong Kong
Midwest Vintage
As its name suggests, Midwest Vintage has a bit of an Americana flair. Considered one of Hong Kong’s original vintage fashion stores, its main flagship location (there are three) is in a winding arcade and carries a staggering assortment of vintage denim and workwear across two floors. You won’t find designer-designer vintage here, but there’s plenty of Levi’s from which to choose. Plus, the store has even started its own line using deadstock fabrics.
Address: 618 Shanghai St, Hong Kong, Mong Kok
Sing Jai Kee
On Sham Shui Po’s Ki Lung Street you’ll find Sing Jai Kee—a tiny store with curated, edgy vintage offerings. Think old-school tees, trucker hats, Hawaiian shirts, overalls and a selection of baseball hats. You won’t find museum-worthy vintage here but you will find one of a kind conversation starters. Plus, the shop uploads drops to its Instagram account so you can browse before you visit.
Address: 140 Ki Lung Street, Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong
Green Ladies
Established in 2008, Green Ladies now has three locations across Hong Kong. As the name suggests, it’s all about going green—everything in the store is second-hand consignments, and while it’s not strictly vintage, you might be able to come across something 25+ years old. Inside the main store, which has an industrial-chic vibe, you’ll be able to find clothing in pristine condition organized by color. And beyond promoting responsible consumption, Green Ladies trains and employees elderly women to empower them and foster economic sustainability.
Address: Hong Kong, Wan Chai, Hennessy Rd, 302-308
