exploring north point, hong kong island

 

Map of North Point from Google Map 

In this post, I will be introducing North Point (Hong Kong Island) to you as off beaten shopping track (if I may say so). Areas like Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay are always packed with tourists so for those who loathe crowded places and enjoy shopping in less crowded places, North Point may be an option for you. So, what are in store in North Point for you? 

If you are looking for bargain, you can check out Esprit outlet and Nike Factory Store. If you love to check out affordable merchandise from Japan, there are two Living Plaza store in the area (all HK$12 merchandise store). And if you love to thrift, there is Salvation Army Family Store (but to set your expectation, there are not many vintage items here).

vintage store: select 18

At this eclectic store, you’ll find tables topped with jewelry, clocks, watches, fur coats, old cameras and even Barbie dolls. If you’re in the market for some signature spectacles, head to the back of the store and admire one of the city’s best selections of vintage eyeglasses. - See more at: http://hk-magazine.com/hong-kong-shop/select-18#sthash.BJgXFxQU.dpuf

It has been so long since my last vintage store hunting. I have been meaning to check out Select 18 for a while now however, in my first adventure back in 2102, I was unable to find the store. Must have read the map wrongly. Since then, I did not make any effort to find the store. Only lately, whilst checking my 'to do' list, I have decided to give it another try. I am glad, I did.

What can you find here? Vintage bags, vintage glasses, memorabilia, vintage luggage, costume jewelry and few vintage furniture to name a few. Would recommend this store for vintage lovers or anyone who is looking for one of kind pieces.

Details of the store:

Address: Shop A, 18, Bridges Street, Central, Hong Kong

Telephone: 9127 3657

I fell in love with this white shabby stool.... but it did not come home with me.

If you are planning to visit Hong Kong, do include this store into your itinerary. Opposite the store is Oolaa restaurant. Have a scrumptious breakfast or brunch at the restaurant first and then check out Select 18. 

That would not be my first and last visit to the store, definitely would visit the store again either just to window shop or to shop.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!Till my next post, stay chic and stylish!
