Shopping guide in Causeway Bay Hong Kong

Shopping guide in Causeway Bay Hong Kong

Causeway Bay is eternally popular with local shoppers and tourists. From department stores, to small boutiques and bargain stalls, everything can be found here in a tight cluster. Of course, it will still take you a whole day to walk through this shopping carnival. The Japanese Sogo department store is an all-purpose starting point. At the Level 9 “Event Hall”, special promotions and big sales are the fare with rotating sales on leather jackets, handbags, cosmetics, apparel and sports goods. Next to Sogo on Hennessy Road, the Sony Style HK flagship store on the 16th floor of East Point Centre offers the latest state-of-the-art Sony products. Pop into the World Trade Centre next to the Excelsior Hotel for mid-range fashions. Just behind the World Trade Centre the popular cut-price Sparta (jeans, t-shirts and casual wear) has moved a few shops up the street still on Jaffe Road.

Next to Sogo on Great George Street, the Island Beverley and Causeway Place shopping arcades are handy for trendy clothes and accessories. If you’re short on time, try Island Beverley, featuring mainly local designers and imported Japanese and European clothing. You can get a pretty fashionable top or trousers for under HK$300. Also, explore trendy shopping mall La Foret behind Sogo for more fashionable items. From here, Fashion Island (Max Mara, Sisley, Benetton, Vivienne Tam and Gay Giano). Style House (Park Lane Hotel Shopping Arcade), Windsor House and Hang Lung Centre are good hunting grounds. Style House has the likes of agnes b, K-2 , Ztampz, IKEA, HMV and more. Stop by for a break at the Park Lane Cafe One.

Hang Lung Centre does not have many shops but you can still potter about and explore Sasa, Broadway and Giga Sports. The former is a rip roaringly succesful discount chain for all things perfume and beauty related. Good testers too. Drop by Franc Francon the second floor for some funky Japanese home accessories and stationery. Around the corner at 68 Yee Wo Street is the young and funky Delay No Mall by G.O.D where you can pick up obscure brands like Black Needle, CIRCLES, Dopie, Eco-Couture, Justin Davis, L.A.M.B, and slick, hi-tech chairs from MetroNaps for a power-nap when the boss isn't looking.

Wander along to 51-57 Paterson Street to find the I.T. shopping buffet. I.T. is a Hong kong trendsetter and has over 60 outlets around the city. Its brands include Comme de Garcons, Helmut Lang, Tsumori Chisato, Miu Miu, Paul Smith, Zucca and more. You’ll find I.T. (and i.t.) all over the place. Why the upper and lower casing? The lower-case i.t. has more brands for the younger set, like As Know As de base , b+ab , 5cm , Vivayou, Tsumori Chisato, Abahouse Devinette and more. These are all arrayed along Paterson Street. The youthful i.t. brands tend to be a tad cheaper than at I.T. This company is not to be confused with Far IT that handles retail outlets for mid to top-end brands like D&G, Versace jeans and Gian Franco Ferre. At the corner of Kingston and Cleveland Streets nearby, there are several furniture shops, such as HECOM on the first floor and Decor on the ground floor and basement. There are two camera shops at the Paterson Street and Great George Street intersection. Expect gruff surly service at Tat Ming Electrical Co. The adjacent Yat Fai Photo is marginally more pleasant.
Causeway Bay’s big and teeming meeting ground is Times Square. The place is a rendezvous spot for everyone from teenagers to gawping tourists. It's big, sleek and well stocked. Hang out below the giant video screen to watch the annual New Year countdown. As with New York's Times Square the revelry is jolly, unrestrained and over-the-top. Small wonder then it's called the Apple Countdown. At the Times Square mall you’ll find upmarket flavours at Lane Crawford with its dizzying array of posh brands like Hugo Boss, Burberry and Alberta Ferretti. When it comes to 70-percent-off crazy sales here it can still cost around HK$500-900 for a pair of ladies shoes. Other popular stores in Times Square include the Spanish fashion chain Zara and City Super store.
