I hope this is the right place to put this thread...I was asked to write down my HK shopping haunts, so I hope some of you find this useful. These are IMO the best of the best places to find great stuff for less in HK.
1. Milan Station (no suprises here...we talk about it all the time! A second-hand bag shop that generally has most of the latest styles, but where you can also find great bargains on older style designer bags. The price IS negotiable, so make sure to ask for the "best" price.)
2. Peddar Building (located on Peddar St. in Central HK, this building has about 7 floors of independant shops. Many sell clothes that were originally intended for the U.S., but have somehow made their way to HK instead. You can find BCBG, cashmere, designer jeans, etc... Also, on the 3rd floor there are a couple of consignment shops that have designer clothes and bags. Again, you would ask for a discount)
3. South Horizon Plaza in Ap Lei Chau ( 27 floors of shopping. Mostly furniture and antiques and goodies for the home, BUT...there is a Lane Crawfor outlet and a Joyce outlet, which are both very high-end clothing stores here in HK. There are fabulous bargains to behold...think 90% off of retail sometimes!!!
4. Fai Yuen Street in Mong Kok ( 2 blocks of factory outlet stores with a market that runs up the middle. A total scavenger hunt, but so fun...and SO CHEAP!!! Kids clothes galore, as well as men's and women's. A ton of major brands from the U.S. can be found here.
That is all that my brain can think of so early in the morning, but I will add more as they come to mind!!!

There is one near Times Square, and another near Lan Kwai Fong. And don't be afraid to step into the actual boutiques (ie. Dolce & Gabbana, Celine, Versace, Cavalli) because they will have some great sales at the end of the year. I'm not sure about LV or Chanel though..
