Granville Road
If you want to hunt for bargains and have the time and inclination to riffle through racks and piles of factory seconds, the dozen or so factory outlet stores along Granville Rd should reward you with items at a fraction of store prices. It’s pot luck as to what labels you will find, although they tend to be familiar, slightly premium mainstream casual and leisure brands (both international and local). Hotspots include UNO OUN (29 Granville Rd), Sample Moon (30 Granville Rd) and the Baleno Outlet Store (24B Granville Rd).

Labels stocked include Eres, Argentovivo, ID Sarrieri, Cadolle, Aubade, Bacirubati, Pin-up Stars, Jonquil, Revanche de la Femme, Rosa Cha and Grigioperla.

Joyce Warehouse
This multidesigner store is a good choice if you’re short of time rather than money: Issey Miyake, Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs, Comme des Garçons, Chloé, Pucci, Yohji Yamamoto and several Hong Kong fashion names are just some of the designers whose wearable wares are on display. There are branches in Central and Admiralty. For the same duds at half the price, visit Joyce Warehouse, opposite the Aberdeen waterfront.

45R Jeans
Can jeans be desirable enough to be worth thousands of Hong Kong dollars? Only you can decide, but there’s no doubt the finishing flourishes and high-end fabric and dyeing give them that ‘one-off’ look. They fit well, too.

I.T
This shop and the women’s-only b+ab shop next door both sell stylish mainstream fashion fairly typical of the type that abounds in Hong Kong, although it’s a notch up in quality and price from the likes of Bossini.

Miu Miu
Clean lines, the best fabrics and a lush colour palette define the high-end fashion from this Prada spin-off. Great (and pricey) shoes and handbags, too. A range of smaller accessories makes it a good place to hunt for presents.
