5 shopping deals and debuts to catch in Hong Kong on July 20/21 weekend
The good news for fans is that they can shop the brand at its first offline retail space – a pop-up on the second floor of Central Market open from July 20-24. Trying before you buy never sounded so good.

2. Woke Up Like This
Founded in 2019 by Hong Kong influencers Jenn Lam (PumpkinJenn) and Tawnia Lai (babygirlo), cruelty-free beauty brand Woke Up Like This (WULT) – with its eco-friendly packaging wrapped up with a message of self-love – is resonating with Gen Zs.
Head to the brand’s pop-up at K11 Art Mall in Tsim Sha Tsui between now and July 31 where it has a street-arcade-themed showcase for its hit moisturisers and masks.

3. Toys“R”Us
Toys“R”Us this week launched the brand’s first “Playful Living” concept store in Asia at K11 Art Mall at Tsim Sha Tsui, a clean wooden space not just for kids but adults keen to embrace their inner child.
The store will collaborate with artists, the first being Ryan Lee, who’s also a fitness trainer. “Kidults” can stock up on their favourite toy figures by heading to the model corner that features toys based on movies and shows including Gundam, Transformers, Marvel, Star Wars, Dragon Ball, and One Piece.

4. Lane Crawford
Lane Crawford has long been a go-to place for luxury shopping and this week it branched out with a collection (clothes, bedding, toys, travel accessories) for pets. And we are so here for it.
It includes accessories from Paris Hilton’s collaboration with Moshiqa as well as items from pet brand Venna, such as the must-have “Queen” pet collar (HK$900). But the Meownooker Cat Toy Set (HK$690), a tiny snooker table for your kitty to play on, wins paws down.

5. Decathlon
With summer in full swing, outdoor fun is high on the agenda, and there is no better way to cool down while getting a good workout than to hit the water on a stand-up paddle board.
A low-impact sport with high reward, stand-up paddle boarding engages core muscles and builds abdominal strength. What’s more, you won’t have to hire a board if you bag this bargain from Hong Kong sporting goods store chain Decathlon: an inflatable stand-up paddle board set by Aqua Marina that retails for HK$2,699, a 40 per cent markdown from its regular price of HK$4,550. It’s super lightweight, super stiff when blown up – and did we mention super fun?
