Keep on Supporting Local Business in Hong Kong
As many local businesses have struggled through this pandemic, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite local, home-grown talent. While not exhaustive, let’s show our support.

2. THE LION ROCK PRESS
The Lion Rock Press is a family business who specialise in premium Hong Kong-inspired gifts and stationery.

We are inspired by the lessons they teach us about the value of hard work and discipline.” – Claire Yates, The Lion Rock Press.
