Gwyneth
Shop owner
“I studied design and used to work in marketing. One day, I did a fashion show and one of the sponsors asked why I wasn’t in fashion because I seemed to have a sense for it. They invited me to become a partner and we opened several stores until they moved away. Since then, I decided to focus on one shop here in Causeway Bay because when I’m in the store, we do better business. We add interesting embellishments to existing designs to make one-off pieces.”
