The new store will feature a highly curated selection of more than 500 unique designer womenswear pieces including clothing, accessories and handbags
Hula, a marketplace for pre-owned designer womenswear, will be opening a new store in Central—their second retail space and first ever boutique. The new store will be open seven days a week from March 19 and feature a curated selection of more than 500 unique designer womenswear pieces, including ready-to-wear, handbags, shoes and accessories as well as pieces exclusive to the Central store. This transforms the Hula shopping into a different, more elevated, personal and cosy experience.
Some of the brands include Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Celine, Chanel, Christian Dior, Fendi, Gucci, Isabel Marant, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent and many others, all are up to 95 per cent off the retail price.
"Our mission is to one day have many more offline spaces to co-exist with our online store. We feel that it is important to offer our customers a physical experience to ensure the quality and authenticity of the beautiful items we showcase for sale. I hope this will encourage Hong Kong citizens to shop pre-owned, shop locally and shop sustainably. I look forward to showing you around the space soon," says Sarah Fung, founder and CEO of Hula.

There will also be weekly and bi-weekly drops, so with every visit shoppers will always have a new selection of pieces to shop from. The Central retail space will also be offering a "Click & Collect" option, which allows shoppers to buy pieces online and pick up their order in the Central store after 24 hours of purchase instead of waiting for door-to-door delivery. Shoppers can also reserve pieces they see online to try in the store later. The store is now also accepting "drop off" items for sale (with prior notice) up to 20 items each time.
Events on fashion sustainability, styling sessions and interviews with inspiring people will be held at the store as well, limited to about 30 people. Shoppers can book an appointment with their in-house stylist for a personalised styling session.
Hula's warehouse space in Wong Chuk Hang is still open six days per week and house over 5,000 unique pieces. It also offers the same "Click & Collect" service and act as a "drop off" location and has the capacity to host up to 60 people at a time.
Hula's Central store opens on March 19 and will be located at G/F, 56–58 Hollywood Road, Central, Hong Kong
