Shop des Createurs: Shop for up-and-coming designers

If you’re looking for luxury labels, there are numerous online shops to find that Givenchy arm candy you’ve been coveting . However, for up and coming designers, there is hardly a platform where one can discover new rising talents in one place. That is until Shop des Createurs came around.

Seeing that Hong Kong is the rising fashion centre of Asia, it made sense for Shop des Createurs to be based in this bustling metropolis where fashion thrives despite rows of high-rise buildings towering over your very existence.

Hong Kong has its fair share of exceptionally gifted emerging designers like Mischa, Artessorio and TwS. Couple available talent with Parisian flair and the online market place literally builds itself as more emerging designers from around the globe hop on board. From Buenos Aries to Taiwan and Toronto to Barcelona, the selection is extensive and the designs are unabashedly inspiring.

And for some, the best part lies in the low price points. About time our credit cards got a breather!

The men get to revel in the online shopping fun as well with a sizeable selection of menswear designers – Made in Eden for brilliantly crafted leather wallets or Barons Papillom for some stunning kicks.

However, if online shopping induces a worrisome yank-at-your-hair effect then here are 5 designers that you could calmly begin shopping with.

Carmen Chan Jewellery

When it comes to accessorizing, the crux lies in size – the bigger the better. Otherwise, the only saving grace is to compensate size for intricacy. Carmen Chan Jewellery offers an intriguing mix of sophisticated and over the top creative pieces, all while incorporating feathers, Swarovski and natural stones. When worn, brace yourself for the attention, as you evolve into an alluring masterpiece.

Carokhoto

For bags, these sophisticated ensembles by Thuy-Vy are a stroke of genius. In terms of design, the minimalistic vibe is approached with relative deftness that results in an impeccable end product to transcend seasons. After all, a good handbag should be timeless and versatile with just about any outfit and that is exactly why we love Carokhoto.

YES I’m French

When someone asks you, what are you wearing, cheekily reply, Yes, I’m French. Even if you were not, you would feel every bit of their charming flair seeping in with this label – interlaced with a tinge of edginess.

Maisha Concept

For a dose of heritage, opt for Hong Kong based, Maisha Concept that effortlessly melds a series of inspirations from Africa and India. Aimed at the woman who basks in bold colours and interesting prints, the collection is a vibrant narration of confidence and zealousness.
