Explore vintage clothing stores in Hong Kong, an East Asian city that feels like Europe!
Hong Kong secondhand shop tour. Compared to Japan, there are fewer used clothing stores, but digging is fun because you can find antiques and miscellaneous goods unique to Hong Kong, which has a history with Britain. The area is small and transportation is cheap, so it's easy to go to many second-hand clothing stores, which is unique to Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, second-hand clothing is referred to as ``old book'' or ``second hand''. It seems that the expression vintage is often used in the sense of "vintage-like", and even new retro-style fashion stores sometimes have the word "vintage" in their name.
Sometimes the front door is locked, and if you can't open it, you need to ring the bell or DM on Instagram. It is a culture that is not common in Japan.
The number of floors is based on the British notation, where the ground is counted as the 0th floor, so the 1st floor in Japan is the 0 (G) floor. 2nd floor is 1st floor. In this article, the local notation of Hong Kong is used so that it can be used locally. If it says 1st floor, it means 2nd floor in Japan.
The second-hand clothing purchased in Hong Kong is introduced in the video, so please check it out.
