Pin Where

Yeah, this boutique is as good as it gets. I’m just back from there and I couldn’t wait to write about it, so here I am, at a café, typing away in my iPad…
Discovered by chance (like any other great discoveries in History right?), this is going to be one of my regular shopping spots. I would like to keep it secret but there is way too much goodness to be share, so as long as you keep it quiet too, I’ll be fine. And I say I discovered it by chance because there are barely any signs of it at street level. I was just curious to find out what was on the 3^rd floor of this building and ta-​chaaan! there it was Pin Where. The girl at the shop was extremely helpful, kind and friendly and she showed me around the shop, helping me to choose a piece of clothing for that wedding reception (not mine!)…that can’t be red, yellow or white… and she showed a couple of black and pink dresses. Both of them spectacular, but I was more into something a little bit fitted. I quickly forgot about the reception dress and started looking around. Just everything is greatly designed and details taken care of. She explained most of the clothing is from Korea, hence the peculiar design. But they also carry accessories in their store (the only one in Hong Kong), some of them from Hong Kong based designer like Play Back, that reuses materials and who’s purpose is to bring back part of history and culture into nowadays design. I also set my eyes on their recycled wood watches from Italy. I tried on of them on my wrist and they are really light. Depending on the kind of wood used, they also smell differently. Priced at around 150HKD, they seemed like a great present for a male. But I still have more jewels to find in this shop… just close by the fitting room they have a hanger with Hong Kong designed exclusive clothing by The Daughter K, a Hong Kong designer who studied in Paris and whose clothes are amazingly beautiful, creative and original. A little bit of bravery is required to wear a few of them but that makes them even more unique. It didn’t stop there: their shoes are also something to look into (shame they don’t have my size).
I don’t know how to spread the word about this place, I’ll just say that if you appreciate things done with authenticity, handled with care and crafted with passion, then please go check it out. It’s not always that you find these jewels in the heart of Causeway Bay. And you’ll be supporting Hong Kong crafts too.
