David’s Shirts

Off-the-shelf and hand-made shirts are the speciality of this Hong Kong institution. Allow a couple of days for the handmade shirts.
Dragon Culture

Antiques shop with pottery from most dynasties, bamboo carvings and snuff bottles.
Fashion Walk

Lots more interesting boutiques here. The vibe is similar to the Island Beverley. Good place to find bargain cosmetics. Also, check out D-Mop.
Fetish Fashion

Fun and fetish goods go together in this smart store dedicated to cross-dressers and leather lovers. Look out for the family of leather teddy bears.
Golden Flamingo

Lots of smaller knick-knacks alongside the bigger-ticket furniture at Golden Flamingo include a wide selection of attractive Chinese vases, picture frames and lacquer jewel boxes.
Gucci

This beautiful temple to the brand of Gucci is tended by elegant priestesses. It’s merely a question of whether you can afford to worship here.
Horizon Plaza

This shabby, high-rise building on the edge of Ap Lei Chau (see Ap Lei Chau)is home to a number of outlets for discount clothing, warehouse furniture, antiques and home furnishings. A taxi from Aberdeen is probably the simplest way to reach it.
Inside

A modest warehouse outlet of a smart interior furnishings chain. There’s a small range of clearance items at discounts of up to 90 per cent.
Island Beverley

An arcane arcade stuffed with tiny boutiques featuring the creations of talented young local designers.
J-01

This store is cool bordering on crazy. The highlight of the hip and happening design collections is the “Splatter Collection” by Japanese artist Dehara Yukinori. It’s hard to say if he’s trying to be comical or is seriously deranged. Either way, don’t miss his lurid, twisted figurines such asKilled Person andBrainman .
