Hong Kong - shopping at PRADA outlet and more

Shopping 

1. Prada / Miu Miu outlet at Ap Lei Chau (south horizons)

Prada/Miu Miu Outlet 

2/F, Marina Square, East Commercial Block, 

South Horizons, Aberdeen

(Note: Prada outlet is closed on Mondays!)

Take bus 590A from admiralty bus terminal located at exit D of admiralty station. The bus comes at 15 mins interval on average and starts at 9.35am. Hope that provides some estimation in terms of timing. It costs a mere hkd $5.50 (less than sgd$1) for the ride. It is a flat fee.

The bus ride will pass through the Aberdeen tunnel and is about half-an-hour ride. 

I ❤️ the buses in HK. They are clean and some have free wifi too! So hop on the bus and have some fun admiring HK. Alight at the marina shopping centre. It looks like this. 

When I reached at 1.10pm, I queued for half-an-hour in the afternoon. 

This may be good for a quick fix for those in Asia who want to get Prada. For those who compare this to Asia's retail prices, the outlet is slightly cheaper. However, do not use the Italy outlet mall prices as a benchmark because you will be sorely disappointed.

Here's an example of the range of colours available. Don't worry, there's the classic Nero (black) etc.

Prada wallets in the HK outlet 

Here is an example of price comparison. 

Case study on popular 1m1225 Prada Saffiano wallet

So a 1m1225 is Singapore retails at about sgd$720 if my memory does not fail me. 

It costs hkd$4100 at the Hk airport (note Hk has no duty to start with, even for downtown boutiques). So that works out to be about sgd$680.

The outlet sells 1m1225 wallet at around sgd$600. That's a saving of $120 compared to Sg price.

Hope this gives you a gauge.

As for the bags, well basically there's a lot of nylon bags for sale at the outlet. It costs around sgd$1000. 

Hope this helps!
