Fabric Shopping in Hong Kong: Sham Shui Po

I spent 3 days in the Fabric District of Hong Kong, but I could have spent a week. It is completely overwhelming and so easy to get lost in.

You can find everything and anything you want in terms of trims, fabric, elastic, buttons and ribbons. Every colour you can imagine is available here.

Nam Cheong and Yu Chau street are great places to start for trims, feathers, rhinestones, buttons and snaps. For fabric stores, the streets go on for what seems like blocks and blocks. You can take the fabric swatch cards from the stores and sometimes swatches from the roll. Most stores only deal with retail, but other shops also take wholesale orders.

I brought back an extra suitcase worth of fabric, trims and supplies for the Love At First Blush line.
