Design-led “curated retail” shops redefine luxury in Hong Kong

Hong Kong, one of the world’s most coveted shopping destinations, is known for being jam-packed with malls and retail space. The city is even comparable to other fashion hubs such as London, New York and Paris. But lately, a new trend has emerged in the city – curated retail spaces, or more simply, stores that feature multiple brands.

One successful select shop is Kapok, a retailer founded in 2006 by Arnault Castel. The brand already has five stores in Hong Kong with a sixth set to open, as well as one location in Taiwan, and two in Singapore.

“A select shop is a group of people who have a certain aesthetic and philosophy, and they choose the products to fit that, adding their personal touch. They have categories like clothes and accessories, and even food,” Castel told South China Morning Post.
