8387 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 The key to finding bargains in HK is research.Know what you want to buy -- the model, style, price in the Philippines, and prices on the internet.In general, I always buy what is made in that country.Hence, when I go to Thailand and look at sports clothes, I check the NIKE label and make sure it is "made in Thailand".Same thing with HK, if it's not made there or "made in China", you can be sure it will be expensive.But the sales in HK can be generous. Buy "off season" -- swimsuits when autumn has began. Winter clothes at the start of spring.Unless you want to be trendy. There are several outlet stores, Citygate being one of the biggest.Just remember, just because it is in HK, it is not cheap. They just might have the latest styles and models -- which will take 3 to 4 months to find its way to the Philippines. Quote Link to comment
rockchic Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 true, homme et femme is pretty okay na rin with the prices, although i don't like the selection that much. but if you want to buy now, well that's the only place to buy it here in manila. Â who shops at the I.T shops, I haven't visited hongkong for the last 2 yrs, so i don't know if the I.T shops are still worth visiting when it comes to some off-season designer items.

dmitri Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I.T.shop now carries those obscure japanese brands.Been also to their outlet in silvercord a few weeks ago but not much to buy.If you're into t-shirts, they do have a lot. Quote Link to comment
jerome Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Jusst to correct someone's recent post, H&M is already in HK for quite a time now. Quote Link to comment
Spurt Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 OK, take Wan Chai MTR (Blueline) Exit A3 then Tai yuen St Across A3 Johnston Road then take Spring Garden Lane Towards queens road east..... There you can find export overuns, branded shoes bags shorts etc at 80% off or less, the whole stretch of queens road mi toy stores din and antiques. cheapest and fastest way to go to hongkong side from kowloon side, TST, Hung hom, if your staying near nathan rd, marco polo, royal pacific, take the ferry, its just HK$2.50.

deepdiverboy Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 for the Shoppingerras, go to Tung Chung, Citygate Outlet. You'll find sport's wears, accessories, designer fashions and children's wear in an air-conditioned shopping mall. Its just a minute walk from Tung Chung MTR. There are more than 50 stores with discounts up to 60% OFF, like Mango, PUMA, Adidas, Nike, Giordano, Esprit, CLub 21 (which houses DKNY, Armani), Prada, Coach, Burberry, Kate Spade etc. hinigop ako ng mga shops sa Hong Kong. buti nakalabas ako ng buhay! I was about to report this, pero meron na palang post. This is a very good shopping outlet for branded items. I get my sneakers here, and they mark down their prices way ahead of Nike and Adidas in the Philippines. You could get them for as low as 50% off while they're still full price in Manila. Great shops too, wide selection of shoe models, unlike in depots in Manila. They also have a good bakeshop downstairs and coffee shops all around, in case you need a mid-shopping snack break.
