My Ultimate Shopping Map, Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong 2020
I will still keep this blog and old map just in case someone still wants to use it. All the shops that have either closed down or relocated at the bottom of this blog has been updated to the best of my knowledge. As you know, it is very difficult for me to keep tabs on all these shops because they are constantly shutting or relocating. I also rarely pop into Sham Shui Po because of my kindergarten runs.
For you Crafters, Designers, Students and Makers I have here for you, “My Ultimate Shopping Map for Fabric, Leather, Craft and Sewing Materials, SSP”! If you haven’t check out my blog about Sham Shui Po then you can click on the links. Together I hope this gives you the ultimate tool to finding what you want in terms of fabric, leather, craft and sewing materials in Sham Shui Po.
