Second hand bage, anyone?

A new second-hand clothes, shoes - and bage - shop has opened near my office in Shau Kei Wan and I've been going there so frequently the shop owner knows my face now.

 I've been trying to resist but, with clothes from HK$10 a piece, it's almost like having a snack after my meal.

Because it's so popular, the stock is renewed almost every day. It's quite an easy process, anyway, as all the owner has to do is open another one of those huge plastic bags for us vultures to dive into.

 

Check it out: Genuine Rockport pumps, barely used, for HK$40. I am wearing a stripy Tommy Hilfiger top today, which I got for only HK$10.

The shop is on the ground floor of Newton Harbour View, Tower 1, Shau Kei Wan Main Street East.

All about Mee (and Gee)

I can't believe it's taken me so long to discover  Mee&Gee. It's one of those confused chain of stores. Retro, vintage, second-hand, overstocks... it has them all.
 
Some of the stuff is new, some obviously pre-loved but who cares? The point is that it has some of the cheapest clothes and bags in Hong Kong (cheapest is H$10 for two).

It works a bit like a trade shop. The price is less if you buy in bulk. I see lots of maids buying clothes by the boxes to ship home.

Mee&Gee has outlets in the Wan Chai outdoor market, the Ladies' Market and Li Yuen Street in Central.
