Sonjia Shop

Sun Street, Wan Chai

Her Latest Collection

Reflected a bit on my blog and realized that my style demographic was shifting a bit young.  Or rather on the eve of my bday, I perhaps am thinking I should start dressing my age (ha!).  With this thought in mind, I want to introduce another gem of a shop on Sun Street (near Star Street) in Wan Chai.  The designer, of Korean and English heritage, is one of HK's celebrated couturiers.  In the current collection you find drapey patterned silks, shearlings, antique fabrics, soft leather jackets, and fur.  She is known for using unusual fabrics.  This shop is geared towards the more sophisticate HK woman and it is truly an experience.

In addition to her own line, she also carries a collection of strong designers such as VPL, Tim Van Steenbergen, Gaurav Gupta and Akiko Ogawa.

On Pedder & Pedder Red

Pedder Red

Johanna Ho's Design for Pedder Red

If you are into shoes, you should not miss either of these stores, both under the Lane Crawford/Joyce Group, On Pedder and Pedder Red.  The former hosts fashion forward accessories, shoes, and handbags from the likes of Givenchy, Alexander Wang, Rodarte, Rick Owens, Balmain, Lanvin & YSL to name a few.  The buying certainly has the Asian woman in mind, yet what I like about On Pedder is that they are willing to buy the more experimental and fashion forward.  Pedder Red, sales lesser known (and less $$) designers, but also pushes the boundaries.
