Causeway Bay regains some of its vibrancy as Asian brands, mask vendors take up spaces vacated by Western fashion houses

Restaurants, surgical mask vendors and Asian brands that mainly cater to Hongkongers have snapped up retail spaces left empty by upmarket Western brands such as Prada and Victoria’s Secrets in Causeway Bay.

This has helped the hip retail district regain some of its lustre, and puts it ahead of rival shopping zones in terms of rental recovery, according to property consultancies.
