Affectionately known as Button Street, Ki Lung Street beckons visitors to explore the distinct charm of the vibrant and bustling Sham Shui Po neighbourhood.
Content provided by Sassy Hong Kong
The quaint thoroughfare of Ki Lung Street owes its nickname to the huge number of shops and stalls selling buttons and sewing accessories that line its pavements. A paradise for craft enthusiasts and DIY fashionistas, you’ll discover an eclectic array of buttons, laces and beads. Delve deep into the shelves, there is everything from vintage buttons to intricate lace trimming just waiting to be unearthed.
The street exudes authentic urban charm, typical of the working-class Sham Shui Po district. Once you’ve picked up your buttons, turn a corner to pick up your ribbons and laces on Nam Cheong Street, and again to pick up your fabrics at Yu Chau Street -all with bargain price tags.
It’s little wonder that the neighbourhood has emerged as a creative hub for lovers of handicrafts and DIY projects! Similarly, many up-and-coming fashion designers choose to base themselves nearby for quick and easy access to the shopping streets, bringing with them a renewed, hip vibe.
