This ready-to-wear fashion brand designs and produces its range from a factory in Tsuen Wan, a former textile hub in the New Territories. “Making quality garments in Hong Kong is part of our philosophy,” says Still House founder Miu Chan, whose career began in hospitality. Chan favours relaxed cuts, understated detailing and muted palettes of lightweight cotton fabrics. The 41-year-old, who runs the label with his partner, has also added a line of womenswear. Collaborations include an umbrella with the century-old Leung So Kee factory and Henley-style shirts with Lee Kung Man, one of Bruce Lee’s favourite outfitters. Established in 2015, Still House relocated in 2023 to a perch on Pak Sha Road, a shopping street that is buzzing once again.
