Bending over trays of jade pendants, gemstone brooches and old watches, Dianne Gupta<\/span> takes her time as she sifts through a heap of tangled necklaces and rings.<\/div>\n

\u201cI enjoy the hunt. It\u2019s like finding hidden treasure when I see something I like,\u201d she says, drifting from stall to stall along Apliu Street, well known for second-hand and vintage stalls, in Hong Kong\u2019s Sham Shui Po neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

Several years ago, Gupta \u2013 who has been buying preloved items since she was a child \u2013 found a pair of Miu Miu flats for HK$35 (US$4.50) at a charity shop in Central, on Hong Kong Island. She is chasing that same high today.<\/p>\n

She is not alone \u2013 shoppers around the world are increasingly turning to different kinds of outlets and spaces to look for luxury fashion.<\/p>\n

This is also the case in Hong Kong, where Japanese resale brand Ragtag<\/span> recently opened a store in Causeway Bay, joining a growing roster of second-hand luxury players in the city.<\/div>\n

Ragtag, which sells authenticated pre-owned designer pieces and streetwear labels, follows in the footsteps of fellow Japanese retailers such as Brand Off and 2nd Street, which already have a strong presence in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
