Why Thrifting in Hong Kong is AMAZING | Secondhand Shops You Should Know

[@nessazee]

Wow the woman who owned Vintage1961 was so knowledgeable and passionate!! She should start her own channel talking about the history of all the items in her shop.

[@Taylor_R]

That’s such a good idea! I’ll tell her! For now she does have IG (it’s linked in my description box) ❤️

[@soupafleye]

she really should!

[@RSkies]

@@Taylor_R she should use insta stories to highlight key pieces in the shop!

She definitely is but I wish she could’ve picked a better movie to take inspiration from.

[@leom1978]

please do more fashion content!!!!!!!! your style is INSANE, ive watched you for years and never really leave comments but i keep seeing your style grow and evolve like girl you should work for vogue!!!! the poses, the fits EVERYTHING im obsessed, literal it girl...

I second this!

[@breakfastattiffanys741]

So refreshing to not see t-shirts, sweat pants and hoodies 😂😍

Honestly Taylor's fashion sense is amazing, she works so hard to put these outfits together and researches so well. Not many youtubers put in this much effort anymore.

It's fun around here if you're here to travel- But education... No, don't. Unless you're looking for the top schools in Hong Kong and got in successfully, the others won't really give you anything good, unlike those lit boarding schools in other countries. For alot of schools you'd have to wear a qi pao (usually blue) and it's uncomfortable af- But on the good side, walking home with friends in untidy uniforms with siu mai and fishballs in our hands is honestly a great experience. Oh and one thing: you don't really have to spend effort on finding local snacks, they're everywhere.

Is like here in my country in Europe.

[@egypt4214]

@@ACEsParkJunheeWreckedMeHard I agree, many people go thrifting because now it’s all trendy but they made fun of people for doing it back when it wasn’t ‘popular’. Thrift stores are meant to provide cheap clothing to low income families. I feel bad when people snatch up all the good stuff and go sell it for like $50+ on depop etc when I know there are people who would like those clothes but can’t afford it.

Although I am a Hongkonger and an English speaker, but I have never thrifted to local secondhand shops before (mostly from Carousell).
