Designer Clothes
I am going to HK in a week... I want to bring back some cheap clothes like Versace, Tommy Bahama etc. I picked up TB shirts in SHA for like $96 yaun, when they are $96 at nordies... Where do I go? Do I have to go into China? Shenzhen etc? And where an when. I want to get some clothes for me and friends mainly for clubbing in RIO... I appreciate any input..

Well if the real things are same price in US than I want fakes. I'll tell you those TB's from PVG are pretty convncing if the.y are fake, they have all the same tags, same silk etc.

Ah, but watch what you get in the factory outlets.
My daughter bought some very nice DKNY pants in a factory outlet that had DKNY JAN as the logo instead of JEAN; she didn't notice until after we got home.
You can find knock offs in any street market in HK such as Temple Street or Women's Street.
I've also been told recently that Seoul is really the place to go for high quality knock offs. My one time there years ago, I bought a pair of Adidas sneakers from a street vendor which lasted close to 10 years with a lot of walking in them, although a bit scruffy looking of course, near the end.

last night I did the market by the Jordan MRT station. Picked up a bunch of souvinears. Also found an allright LV rollerboard for only $200HK, and a very nice real looking one (Korean) for $800! I should have grabbed the $800 for mom. Lots of purses etc I will get some tonight for people back at home, soo much cheaper than NY. Now I would like to get some Tommy Bahama, and Versace shirts etc. Where are those? They were not at this market at all.
Thanks
Thanks

The Esprit boutique in the basement of the Sheraton hotel (across from the Peninsula) is also worth a visit. BTW, where are you staying?

I am at the Conrad. Since I did Temple st last night, I will try the Stanley market.. Is it good in the day time too? I plan to stay the night in Macau tonight, so I will proably keep my luggage here, and pack my backpack with some clothes, and hit up a market then take the Ferry over to Macau.. Any shopping there? Also how is mainland for stuff like Shenzhen? I hear it is a dump, but can I score some good deals?

For your CAR??? I won't probe, but I would start in TST or Mongkok. If you want to play DVDs from more than one zone, be sure to get a multi-regional player. Also, I would pass on Shenzhen -- that place sucks (I hope I'm not offending anyone). In fact, one of my best friends here goes to Shenzhen every week, but arranged a meeting in HK today primarily for the purpose of snagging time to buy a new digital camera for an upcoming vacation.
