Hong Kong’s Sustainability Innovators
With leading companies like The Peninsula taking a public stand against single-use plastics, we introduce a few more Hong Kong heroes flying the flag for sustainability.
Hula
Every fashionista worth her weight in Vuitton knows what goes around comes around, and sometimes a vintage piece can be the pièce de résistance of your entire look. Enter Hula, a Hong Kong-based pre-loved women’s fashion online marketplace. Here, you’ll find a highly curated edit at wallet-friendly price points; the fashion-insider lineup features all the big names from Alaia to Zac Posen. Cut-price couture is now but a click away.
Live Zero
Banishing plastic from your life in one fell swoop, Live Zero is your one-stop online shop for all things clean and green around the house, from kitchen and bathroom products, to kids’ items, lunch boxes and even eco paints. Take it one step further and visit their bulk food outlet in Sai Ying Pun with your own containers and load up pantry essentials.
Caelum Greene
With athleisure clocking in as one of the fastest growing industries around the world, and the accompanying threads designed at lightning speed, it would be beyond easy to fall into the fast-fashion trap. But beeline to Caelum Greene and you can rest assured your dollars are not only supporting quality, super-niche slow fashion brands, but also Hong Kong-based NGO Redress. A workout for your body and conscience = maximum return on investment.
