Yes, Sham shui po has been a famous area in hong kong for it’s extensive range of textiles related items including beautiful fabric!!

The closing time is usually around 6 – 7 depending on how hard working they are!

My usual day of fabric shopping spree is go there around 12 for lunch (lots of yummy food nearby) and then visiting those many shops, and in the afternoon i go for a nice (clean, hehe) massage nearby. Its got that nice traditional oldstyle hongkong enviroment happening around there!

The ones around lai chi kok rd and nam cheong rd are pretty good

[...] hit Sham Shui Po, the famous textile district in Hong Kong. I basically used the guide from Chubby Hobby and stayed within Ki Lung Street, Tai Nan Street, Yu Chau and Nam Cheong street. Alas, the weather [...]

LOL – my husband used to go to that primary school when he was growing up in HK! He is originally a Tai Po boy…

Happy crafting – can’t wait to see whatever you do.

I’m new to the world of blogs – makes me feel inspired.

I love to eat, craft, travel, muse and witter…

Well.. if you ever visit Dubai I will show you around the fabric souks, wholesale suppliers, etc

Aaargh i am so bad with directions. OK since you know Tai Po, it might be easier. The one I went to was near the Primary school near the railway.. is that any use? i can’t remember the name of the primary school – just that it is near the railway (the old railway carriage which is somewhat a museum piece). There is a little parade of shops and there was a fabric and haberdashery shophouse there.

Dubai is a funny old place – reminds me of HK 20 years ago when there was construction all around.

Dubai is definitely worth a visit. I know it’s had some bad press recently but – hey: who hasn’t this past year…

Anyway – any place which sells fab materials and haberdashery is worth a visit surely!
