Kuas in Hong Kong

[ccat]

Anyone knows where i can get kuas in HK?
Any idea roughly how much on average?

 

[pageup]

shanghai street, which is just behind the famous temple street.
I never check out the price though

 

[ccteott]

You can go to 'Shanghai Street'

There is also this building called 'kam to' in Prince Edward that all HK brides go to its right opposite of 'Fa Yuen Street'.

You can take the train to Prince Edward station, it's quite easy to find as there are all the bridal shop on the first floor of the building already

Happy Shopping !

hi gals, thanks for the tip

are the kuas SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper there?
rental here is almost $280-300.

 

[kkyko]

yeah... for cheap Hk kuas, don't expect good workmanship... they are all made in china... my friend got one reallly cheap from hk and it really looks like red satin material sleep wear... X)

 

[macjames77]

In HK, they charge the kuas by the number of times the kua have been rented.i.e the more times it is rented the cheaper it will be.

I rented mine for 7 days (they charge rental by day) at $210. considered very cheap.
Very much depend on luck. Overall, the kuas there are nicer & can be cheaper.

 

[chomecc]

hie do anyone know if they only rent or you can purchase the kuas?

Hi Gals,

I am from Hong Kong, just passed by this forum to check out pre-wedding photos in Bintan.

Here is the biggest and oldest Kua shop in HK:

http://www.koonnamwah.com.hk/index.html

It does both rental and purchase. Price fom HKD$700 up to HKD$3XXX. It depends on the type of kua you choose. Hope it helps!!

I bought my kua recently from HK in Shanghai Street. Shanghai street has 1 shop selling kua as compared to many years ago. I suspect most of them had moved to the "Jin To" shopping mall. I din went to the one that zinnie recommended.

My kua costs HK$1,388 approx S$280. Its a brand new one but its a beaded one... Not those sew with gold & silver threads thus its cheaper. I was being quoted HK$3,600 for a brand new gold & silver threads kua.

[macjames77]

I had opportunity to go Hong Kong and managed to buy my kua there! It's a Queen qun kwa with more silver and gold thread embroidery at HKD1000 (S$182)and I am a size UK14 gal. so the deal wasn't too bad even though I didn't bargain. I was quoted $200+ to $300+ for my size in Singapore as my BS do not have kua rental in the package.

Bought it at a ground floor shop at I Do Centre next to the famous Golden Plaza at Prince Edward MTR area. can check out Golden Plaza as there are a lot of shops there too. Very Tanjong Pagar road feel. ha ha. go in afternoon as they opened ard noon/1pm or later.

otherwise I also went to the famous KoonNamWah which is near to Kansu Street/Temple street. Quality is very nice but very expensive. quoted me a normal embroidered red kua with no golden/silver thread for hkd7000! But fun to check it out.

also tried a shop at Shanghai street. was cheaper when they quoted me a hkd2000 before bargaining. for a gold/silver embroidered kua.
No. 523 Shanghai Street, MongKok +852 2385 0187
(behind the new Langham Place shopping centre/hotel at Mongkok)

2 other shops recommended by Hong Kong friend but didnt have time to check it out. Shanghai street is very long and the shops are spread out, unlike the Golden Plaza where its all crammed into 1 building.

1. No. 361 Shanghai Street (Yau Ma Tei MTR)

Hi Whyy interested to rent out ur Kua after ur wedding?

 

[marryinghim]

Anyone interested? I have a Kua that can fit up to UK size 12 or 14. Length is adjustable. PTP of top is about 18'', waist band fits waist of about 28-29''.

Latest embroidery design from Hong Kong, it is very pretty with gold and silver 3-Dimentional embroidery of Phoenix and Dragon with scallop trimmings.

Too bad it is too big for me, letting go at discounted price. Bought it for near to S$2K.
