1. Patinova

This local jeweller draws inspiration from old Hong Kong icons. Its coin cufflinks give a new lease of life to vintage minted coins, gold plating them and transforming them into cufflinks, charm bracelets, and key rings. They make for great birthday, Christmas, and anniversary presents, so be sure to check the site for your special year.

Patinova, prices range from $770 to $1,350


2. Louise Hill Design

Artist and designer Louise Hill cut her teeth working with some of Britain’s biggest brands, including Marks & Spencer and Fortnum & Mason. After spending a period of time travelling through Asia, she settled in Hong Kong, and later Singapore. Her time around the region has resulted in a series of ‘digital collages’. Her Hong Kong-inspired prints combine iconic scenes and fixtures in a unique style, and prints are available in numerous sizes.

3. Mazu Resortwear

Homegrown Hong Kong brand Mazu Resortwear pays homage to the fragrant harbour and its maritime history with a range of men’s swimwear featuring designs influenced by the city’s former seafaring ways. The Aqua Luna, pink dolphins, and sampans all make an appearance on these funky trunks.
