Bustling Tai Nan Street is a former manufacturing hub with a history of producing leather goods. These days, it brings the local community together over art, design and food.

Nestled within the vibrant district of Sham Shui Po in Kowloon, Tai Nan Street is a remarkable thoroughfare undergoing a fascinating transformation. The street’s history began in post-war Hong Kong, when it was a bustling hub of manufacturing, filled with the sound of machinery and skilled artisans producing high-quality leather, textiles and accessories
Many of these family-owned businesses exported their products internationally, creating a legacy of craftsmanship.
As manufacturing shifted overseas, the area saw a decline, with only a handful of the original stores remaining. However, Tai Nan Street has been revitalised by a new wave of artisanal workshops, such as Luen Cheong Leather Hong Kong, established in 1948, and newcomers, all continuing the tradition of vegetable-tanned cowhides.
Alongside these stores, the street has also attracted young entrepreneurs, artists, and design enthusiasts who are injecting fresh energy into the neighbourhood with trendy art galleries, chic cafes and independent design studios. This artistic renaissance has given the community a new lease on life, with visitors now able to soak up the creative energy while browsing a treasure trove of locally crafted jewellery, clothing, art, and lifestyle goods. And, when hunger strikes, there are steaming bowls of noodles and plenty of artisanal coffee shops to fuel your exploration.
