The Shanghai Tang shop in the airport is great - great is you are just passing through HK or if you really want to grab something for yourself at the end of your trip.
Shanghai Tang isn't cheap, but it's a popular brand and the airport prices might be a little cheaper than the Peninsula store etc (certainly cheaper than NY, London and Tokyo)
What to buy: Clothing; Men's & Women's
Accessories
Homeware
What to pay: As I said, it isn't cheap. A long sleeve T cost me 380 HK dollars

Made to measure suits. Absolutely fantastic, my husband had four made in cashmere & wool while we were there.
Choose the material, get measured then go back in a couple of days for a final fitting and pick up the finished suit the next day. You would have to pay a fortune for that kind of service in England.

8FIVE2SHOP is a skateboard/high end street fashion shop where you can find anything from hats to shoes with a Hong Kong influence.
A great place to buy gifts for teenage boys to men.
They carry well known brands from around the world such as Adidas, Nike, New Era, Vans, Visvim, In4mation, Lakai, etc but, they also carry a local Hong Kong brand and some unusual souvenirs of Hong kong.
You can often see local celebs shopping at this hidden treasure.
There is a wall of polaroids of all the famous skateboarders, designers, etc from around the world who have stopped by this shop.
It's a nice change from all the large luxury malls in Hong kong.
What to buy: Not your typical tourist T-shirts of Hong Kong. These represent Hong Kong with a fashion twist.
Special Hong Kong limited edition shoes (Ie: Nike SB, Lakai, DVS, Visvim, Adidas etc)
Gifts for your kids with a Hong Kong exclusive skateboard.
Boxers, Chinese printed belts, accessories, books, magazines, New Era exclusive hat of Hong Kong, and just about anything.
What to pay: They definitely carry a large range of prices.
They have shoes that are definitely more upscale but, I have seen jeans that only cost 80HKD on sale $10USD.

With its large selection of women and men’s clothing, this store is a must for any real shopper. Their prices are very reasonable and their clothing is fantastic. I have found this store in almost every large city in Europe and was very happy to come across it here in Hong Kong.
I was searching for a pair of casual slacks and top to go out that evening and found exactly what I was looking for.
This particular store is located inside the Pacific Place Shopping Complex.
What to buy: Women's and men's trendy clothing and accessories.
What to pay: About average.

As part of our trip to Hong Kong, Chris wanted to get fitted for a custom tailored suit and some dress shirts. This place was recommended by some friends. Located in a shopping complex, Andy the owner/tailor greats you, measures you, shows you the different types of fabrics and guarantees that you’ll have your suit in a day or two. The quality in which Andy tailors these suits are first rate.
For the ladies he custom tailors suits as well. I would highly recommend this shop if you are looking for that custom tailored suit. Andy will keep your measurements on file and will accept orders via phone, fax, or email.
You can contact Andy by sending him an eamil at andy@expresstailor.com.uk
What to buy: Custom made suits, shirts, ties.
What to pay: Way below market value.

I am quite a shopper myself. Well, not anymore. Turn off, HK shooping was the ultimate turn off. How many Gucci stores would you expect within an acre? Crazy........I am literally sick of it even thinking about it today. When I look back I realised that I had missed the biggest sign that was before us, as we left the plane. The biggest LV suitcase in the middle of the airport alleys.
You want to shop, well throw your heart out in HK. Yuck.........they even have second hand stores where they sell brand name bags (almost abused nevertheless logoed everywhere bags). Seriously what happened to joy of finding something rare, something that you wanted for so long, and suddenly it comes across you. Well in HK, you don't come across with the sought, they shove it down your throat. My vision was blurred with the logo bags everywhere, everywhere..........
What to buy: Anything with initials printed everywhere. SS
