Hong Kong Sale

One of the best shopping destination in Asia is definitely Hong Kong. Ranging from designer luxury bags, 999 gold jewelry or even quirky fashion accessories, you can surely find it in Hong Kong. For visitors, when is the best season to shop in Hong Kong.

There are 3 main seasons:-
a) Chinese New Year
- most shopping malls will have huge savings before and during the Chinese New Year weeks. Good points for this season include the extended shopping time, where some stores are open till 12 midnight!

b) end of July, beginning of August
- starting from mid July, all the luxury brands in Hong Kong will start their sale
- towards the beginning or mid August, some brands even offer extra discounted rates (i managed to buy some shoes at up to 70% discounts)

c) Christmas shopping season
- end of the year sale is the best timing to shop and Hong Kong is famous for various products on sale.

Be sure to mark your calendar dates to visit Hong Kong during the sale season above and you'll surely get great bargains!

I'm attending the blog workshop with my internet marketing coach, Fione now.

Spending US$3,300 at Louis Vuitton

Have you bought any designer brands lately? Being a shopaholic, i end up buying items each month. My recent purchases in May 2008 include :-
a) Louis Vuitton handbag (LV monogram bag)
b) Louis Vuitton luggage bag (great hand cary LV case)
c) Emporio Armani handbags for my mom and my mother-in-law for mother's day
d) Emporio Armani men's leather wallet for my dad as his birthday was in April

While i spent US$3,300 in the LV store in Ngee Ann City in Singapore for the 2 bags, i managed to buy LOTS of other merchandise in Emporio Armani in Hong Kong by spending less than half of the price of Louis Vuitton bags.

Since beginning of May after becoming a VIP member at the Emporio Armani boutique in Hong Kong, i've started a string of purchases at Armani and these include:-
- 2 armani pants (1 black slim jeans, and 1 black khaki pants)
- 1 armani blouse in touquise blue
- 1 orange knitted top with zip
- 2 armani belts (1 white leather ladies belt suitable for work and 1 black studded belt that works well with jeans)

My husband of course was similar, where he purchased a brand new Armani men's suit.

Total spent at Armani this month of May is about HK$12,000 (about US$1,600).

The funny thing of course is i've only worn the black jeans and the black leather belt so far.
