Why it matters: founded in 2008 by NGO St. James’ Settlement, this was Hong Kong’s first consignment-model secondhand fashion shop, creating jobs for middle-aged women while keeping quality clothing out of landfill. The Wan Chai branch is proper treasure-hunting territory: well-curated racks of secondhand fashion and accessories at a fraction of retail prices. Give yourself time to dig, and if you’re out at The Mills in Tsuen Wan, there’s a sister branch. Doors open at 12:30pm daily.
