GrowthRing & Supply, a Hong Kong-based brand, worked alongside Japan's HOSU CO. to create a stunning souvenir jacket that celebrates a part of Hong Kong's vibrant history.
The piece is reversible, allowing the wearer to swap between a silky teal and silver colorway and a velvety black and off-white version. Both are marked with intricate embroidery designs, with the heads of two dragons decorating the chest on the black version and the roaring portraits of a tiger and panther on the teal one.
The back of the GrowthRing & Supply and HOSU CO. jacket is covered in designs as well, with both sides paying tribute to "the glamorous Tiger Balm Garden (or Haw Par Mansion) and 'the city of darkness' the lost Kowloon Walled City."
