Pacific Place Admiralty, Hong Kong

Pacific Place Admiralty, Hong Kong | shopping guide

In the Admiralty district is one of Hong kong’s most popular malls, Pacific Place. It is accessible, busy and well stocked with more designer labels than you could shake a stick at. This is a safe and sober starting point if you're looking for the latest digital cameras and photo supplies. For the latest cameras, SLRs, video cameras, fun gadgets, TVs and mobile phones check out Universal Audio and Video Centre (they have a branch in IFC Two as well). Pacific Place mall includes top designer brands like Dior, Agnes b, Vivienne Tam, Max & Co, Momento, Celine, Chanel, Bally I.T, La Perla, Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Salvatore Ferragamo, Gucci, Hermes, and Zara (Marks & Spencers has moved, but still has a flagship branch on Queen’s Road Central, just opposite Landmark). There is a large Lane Crawford store as well as a Seibu department store. Lane Crawford has an expensive and extensive furniture gallery here too. Military buffs and those looking for quality replica miniature hand-painted toy soldiers need only pop into King & Country at Pacific Place for a peek back in time. Great renderings, and expensive. Pacific Place mall fashionistas can also expect Ermenegildo Zegna, AIX Armani Exchange, D&G Dolce & Gabbana, French Connection FCUK, Daks, D'urban, Joyce, Just Cavalli, Prada, Anteprima, Kookai, Mango. Miu Miu, Shanghai Tang and BVLGARI. Jewellery and watch company options include Bulgari, Cartier, Chopard, Frey Wille, Piaget and Jager LeCoutre. Looking for a Hong Kong bookstore? Try the excellent Kelly & Walsh. Music at Hong Kong Records and sound systems, if you have the money and moxie, at Bang & Olufsen.
