1. Re-Love Festival: Vintage Revival
This Friday marks the start of another section of the ongoing Re-Love Festival at The Mills in Tsuen Wan. The focus, “Vintage Revival”, celebrates vintage finds and inspires love for styles that never go out of fashion.
The event will feature a vintage car parade as well as a curated vintage market, which includes homeware from across the globe, antiques and assorted finds. The Old But Gold Second-hand Market will also set up shop, with finds including jewellery, clothing and footwear.
If you are looking to extend the lifespan of your possessions, you can bring them to the fashion clinic, or get a consultation on leather restoration for your furniture.
The market also has a crafty element. At the embroidery studio, guests can bring clothing or fabric and add a new spin, with an instructor available to help if necessary. If you would like to experiment with beading, Little Dream Embroidery is offering a French beaded embroidery workshop to make one-of-a-kind pins and rings.
