Get back to your 852 roots with our guide to cheongsam and qipao shopping in Hong Kong. From OGs like Linva Tailor who have perfected the craft of the traditional Chinese dress, to the new wave of local brands like Qipology breathing new life into the treasured closet staple, these are your best bets for turning heads.

The epitome of Chinese culture and craftsmanship, few dresses are as elegant or feminine as the form-fitting cheongsam (or qipao in Mandarin) which first rose to popularity in 1920s Shanghai by socialites and the well-to-do. Considered something of a dying art today, experienced tailors who have perfected the time-honoured attire with its distinctive mandarin collar, knotted buttons and side slit has become increasingly elusive. Welcome to our curated selection of the few that nail for your next occasion, whether you’re into the traditional look  or prefer a contemporary style.

Linva Tailor – Movie star magic dresses

When it comes to traditional dress designs, there’s nowhere more authentic. Expect at least two fittings after the initial consultation where you can choose fabrics, patterns (everything from dainty florals to understated geometric) and have measurements taken so it fits like a glove.

With each piece crafted with utmost care and detail, Vivaz Fine Jewellery purchases are lifetime treasures. Here’s the lowdown on the brand’s ethos, what sets it apart and more…

A piece of bespoke jewellery is a unique reflection (a dazzling one at that!) of various sentiments; your shared love for each other, a keepsake for hitting a milestone and simply something that represents you. At Vivaz Fine Jewellery, founder Sunaina Chand and her team are committed to their customers with a transparent approach, insightful knowledge with competitive prices and a thorough consultation. Read on to know more about their collections and what sets them apart. 


From Bridal Collection To Statement Cocktail Pieces, Fine Jewellery For Both Women And Men

If you’re looking for a classic diamond engagement ring, Vivaz crafts it all from eye-catching cushion cuts to staggering solitaires. Don’t stop there, have your wedding bands taken care of as well – think from classic diamond eternity bands to intertwined with gemstones like sapphire Vivaz houses an entire bridal collection featuring earrings, bangles and diamond necklaces that can be worn two ways as bracelets, combining elegance with functionality.

Bridal aside, Vivaz’s cocktail rings can affirm the brand’s meticulous detail in craftsmanship, turning your abstract ideas into show-stopping rings through a step-by-step process. Also, there’s definitely something for men too, the 18k and platinum bangles make a fashionable gift!


Beyond The 4Cs – Vivaz’s Flair, Personalised Service & Design Inspiration

Shopping at Vivaz comes with customer care that aims to build a life-long relationship. Get to know the behind-the‐scenes process from the founder herself, Sunaina Chand.

Can you tell us about the inspiration behind the creation of Vivaz Fine Jewelry?

As a frequent visitor from Okinawa, Japan, I was captivated by the vibrant energy of Hong Kong, where I knew my passion could thrive. I began a new career in public relations in the Luxury Fine Diamond sector and quickly discovered that my clients often faced a lack of transparency when buying diamonds. This realisation was reinforced by my own experiences, where the information I received about jewellery purchases frequently didn’t match reality. These insights motivated me to pursue a GIA Diploma and ultimately led me to establish my own company to address these gaps in the industry.

One of the most defining characteristics of a diamond is its cut. A diamond’s cut is an integral factor in determining its brilliance and fire. Even a flawless diamond will appear dull and muted if the cut is poor.

While high grade colour, clarity and carat weight also contribute to a diamond’s appeal it’s the cut that determines the symmetry of the stone’s facets, its over all proportions, and its ability to reflect light.

How does Vivaz differentiate itself in the competitive luxury jewellery market, particularly in terms of craftsmanship and design?

My jewellery stands out from the rest because I specialise in classic fine diamond pieces that embrace both a feminine and bold aesthetic, catering to a diverse range of women. I believe that every woman deserves to express her individuality through jewellery, which is why I focus on designs that are timeless yet striking.

Additionally, I collaborate with elite multi-brand luxury Italian designers Giovanni Ferraris, Garavelli 1920, Verdi Gioielli and many more, offering a stunning array of unique pieces that showcase various styles and craftsmanship. When clients visit my collection, they are greeted with a wealth of options, allowing them to explore different designs rather than being limited to a single perspective. 

How does Vivaz achieve a personalised approach in customer service?

At Vivaz, we place a strong emphasis on educating our clients throughout the entire jewellery selection process. We take the time to explain what the GIA certificate entails and highlight other important factors to consider that may not be covered by the certificate. By providing this comprehensive knowledge, we empower our clients to make informed decisions and ensure they fully understand the value and quality of their investment with a hands-on approach using the diamond tools. 

Could you walk us through the process of creating a custom piece for a client, from initial consultation to final product?

Creating a custom piece for a client begins with an initial consultation, where we discuss their target price and present several options within that range, allowing them to feel comfortable with their budget. Next, we emphasis on the points which is not stated on the GIA certificate such as how important is the diamond’s cut, and providing a hands-on experience. Finally, we explore various design options and provide CAD designs, enabling clients to visualise their final piece before it’s crafted.

What do you hope clients take away from their experience with Vivaz, and how do you envision the brand evolving in the future?

Cherry Bobbins — Clothing that celebrates curves

The first Hong Kong brand to design fashionable clothing for curves, Cherry Bobbins is designed specifically for BBBs (bellies, bums and boobs) so customers can feel confident in themselves and their clothing.

This is where Cherry Bobbins comes in, establishing a new way of designing clothes to fit curves and elevate plus-size clothing. The brand embraces bodies of all shapes and sizes, as that’s what makes us unique — everybody is beautiful! Here, understanding your body shape makes shopping a little easier, so that you can express your personality and style that truly fits and represents you. Founder Cherisse Kofod created the collection to finally fill the gap in Hong Kong’s market for size-inclusive, tailored clothes for curves and plus sizes.

Each of the quality garments showcases that great style is not determined by size, age nor gender, but classic pieces that stand the test of time. Additionally, Cherry Bobbins reduces environmental impact by manufacturing in small quantities to minimise waste, using natural fabrics and packing garments in compostable bags.
