Hong Kong Made This

Instagram

An archive celebrating all things made in Hong Kong. My aim is to contribute to the preservation of Hong Kong's cultural heritage and hope that the stories and legacy of these industries continue to be celebrated and remembered.

Instagram

A platform I created offering fellow lovers of Hong Kong's cultural history the opportunity to purchase vintage items made in Hong Kong: porcelain, toys, textiles, advertising memorabilia and books, as well as chinoiserie and other curated pieces I’ve sourced from around the world.

Vintage Made In Hong Kong Fabrics

Available To Order

In the 1950s and 60s Kowloon was the home of Hong Kong's textile industry; spinners, weavers, knitters and dyers supplied a global market with beautiful silks and cotton. The factories are gone, however I have an extensive archive of silk brocade from one long-closed mill.

Interiors In The Press

I have lived in five different homes since I arrived in Hong Kong in 2001. Glimpses of how I have styled our space as my family has grown over the years.

Event Planning

In my formative years I worked in corporate events and marketing. My passion for detail and event planning continues...whether it be a formal event for a client, product launch, my children’s birthdays or a casual gathering with friends.

Photography

Just me, wandering around and capturing anything and everything that catches my eye.
