The launch of a store is a significant moment for Aesop, and every detail that leads to that moment is given the serious attention it deserves. Our choice of location, designer and materials are the subject of much discussion. We open stores only where we find people who understand the intention and integrity of our products. And we aim to enhance every neighbourhood into which we move.
So it is with great pleasure that we open our store in Sheung Wan. We were attracted to this part of Hong Kong Island’s western district because it retains buildings of historical relevance while welcoming creative modern retailers. The area is home to temples, tea shops, traditional craft stores, with galleries and design agencies opening in the ladder streets and leafy laneways.
Our Sheung Wan store will offer Aesop’s full range in a building crafted from bamboo and raw concrete. We chose this combination of materials to acknowledge the local landscape – Hollywood Road Park is nearby, circled by towering apartment blocks, and bamboo is a plant of cultural and environmental note. The store contains compressed bamboo shelving and external walls will be clad in bamboo.
We invite you to visit us here, browse at your leisure, then enjoy a cup of tea in our shady courtyard.
