5. Tiny Island

Do you love your neighbourhood enough to hang it on your wall? Swedish designer Alexis Holm’s map prints of Hong Kong have become a go-to for those looking to show a bit of Hong Kong pride in their home. A growing line of home and personal accessories, whose designs nod to the city’s idiosyncrasies, is stocked at independent retailers across Hong Kong, and by the Cathay Shop. Choosing which elements of Hong Kong culture to incorporate isn’t easy, says Holm: “Everyone is moved by different things: someone might get teary-eyed about stinky tofu, while another might clutch a watermelon ball (a popular toy in the 1960s and ’70s) tightly.” Launching just in time for the holidays is the Christmas calendar – featuring more Hong Kong icons, of course.
