I recently visited HK with my BFF Sue Tan and one morning we followed our friend Divya Kolady, Al Jazeera’s foreign correspondence to work in Kowloon and got caught on camera shopping at this Iconic fabric market in Sham Shui Po 😂
This Iconic fabric market has been around for 40 years and finally the local council is shutting it down. It has served as a meeting point for the local community and fashion designers. The stall vendors will be relocated to a mall but most of them will not be able to afford rent. What is the price for progress? 🤔🤓

It doesn’t seem very wise for them to shut that market down since the local schools and local fashion designers rely on it so much. This will probably hurt the local fashion industry in the long run, which might even put a dent in the local economy. Maybe local designers should try to find a place for them to move to outside the mall.

That is really sad when that happens 😦

Yeah. It’s always sad when authentic places close down for the sake of ‘progress ‘

It’s cool that you were on TV. I hate to hear they’re closing it down.
