The new Harbor City store also offers the Asian fit collection, along with the Lululemon Lab collection.

Meanwhile, to celebrate the Hong Kong flagship opening, Lululemon also unveiled new limited-edition Swarovski Wunder Under pants.

Priced at HKD 6,588, the ultra-luxe price tag is fitting for each of the 150 limited pieces. The Wunder Under leggings are designed with a high waisted fit for functionality and style, and come set with real Swarovski crystals. Moreover, built in Lycra fibre ensure shape retention and support, complementing Lululemon’s signature four-way soft stretch Luon fabric, which is also moisture-wicking.

Founded in 1998 by Chip Wilson, the Vancouver, British Columbia-based Lulumeon has been rolling out its expansion in Asia for some time. It opened its first Hong Kong store in 2015.

As of 2nd February, the company had 491 stores, 38 of them in the Greater China region. For the fiscal year ended 2nd February, Lululemon posted net revenue of $4 billion.
