Fung’s Tak Cheung Co

One of the few shops in Sham Shui Po that I know (granted, that does limit the sample size), that specialise in ‘craft’ as opposed to wholesale designer supplies.
Here you can find ribbons, trimmings and embellishments, but also gift boxes and embroidery hoops. Cross stich patterns and fake flowers. I walked out with almost 200 yards of ribbon for a little (a very little) over HKD50 — bargain!
Like all shops in SSP, Tak Cheung Co obviously understands the value of a good business card — you WILL need help to find the same store twice. But theirs is one of the most helpful I’ve collected on many visits to the area. In fact, it’s the one I present to taxi drivers whenever I go to SSP, just so I know where I am when I start and can orientate myself for the rest of the expedition, kind of. Of course one then has to pop in to the store to see what’s on offer … It would be rude not to.
