Chiikawa Days exhibition
The highly anticipated Chiikawa Days exhibition has finally taken over K11 Musea! Even after two separate rounds of ticket releases, entry was all sold out within half an hour, so the organisers have decided to extend the exhibition until August 31. Additional tickets for the extended dates of August 25 to 31 (excluding August 28) will go on sale at 5pm on August 1 via Klook, so get clicking! Expect to see multiple giant inflatable sculptures in the mall's outdoor areas, including some adorable food-themed ones that we love. There are also over 100 3-D figures and lifelike recreations of scenes from the beloved manga. Observe the cute Chiikawa Days critters at play, in battle, in jail, at mealtime, and more. Don't forget to stop by the merch store afterwards to pick up themed cookies and snacks, as well as the special Hong Kong collection of yum cha-themed plushies designed exclusively for this event by Chiikawa's creator Nagano!

Chiikawa toy craze grips Hong Kong as thousands queue for McDonald's promo meals
Tens of thousands of people in Hong Kong have queued for Chiikawa toys that come with McDonald's Happy Meals as part of a promotional tie-up between the fast food chain and an exhibition featuring the famous Japanese manga. Some 20,000 customers were in line on the McDonald's reservation website at certain points on Monday after sales opened at 11am, and hundreds showed up at different outlets to queue for the special meal sets hours before they were made available. The promotion was related to a three-week event called 'Chiikawa Days Exhibition', organised by Hong Kong studio AllRightReserved, which will begin in the city on August 1 at K11 Musea in Tsim Sha Tsui. Chiikawa, which means 'something small and cute', is the name of the titular hamster protagonist created by Japanese artist Nagano. As part of the promotion, eight different Chiikawa toys will be given away with Happy Meal purchases on Mondays and Fridays between July 28 and August 22 at 40 McDonald's outlets in the city. At a McDonald's branch in Causeway Bay, Heiman Chan, 40, dressed in a Chiikawa T-shirt and carrying a Chiikawa plush doll on his shoulder, waited in line with his prepared QR code to collect the toy with his meal set. 'I found out online that McDonald's was selling Chiikawa Happy Meals, so I came especially to buy one today,' he said.

Louis Vuitton's new space at K11 Musea in Hong Kong: after unveiling giant ship The Louis in Shanghai, the label is expanding in Tsim Sha Tsui – where Pharrell hosted a show in 2023
After making headlines last month with the opening of a ship-shaped store in Shanghai that's still the talk of the town in China and beyond, it looks as though Louis Vuitton has big plans for Hong Kong too. The Parisian label has just erected a large expanse of scaffolding at the K11 Musea mall, located in the shopping and tourist district of Tsim Sha Tsui. The space overlooks the landmark Avenue of Stars, which boasts sweeping views of the iconic Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong skyline. Parisian maison Louis Vuitton looks set to open a new flagship near K11 Musea in Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui. Photo: Cherry Liu Advertisement Louis Vuitton is not new to the location. In late 2023, not long after the city reopened to the world after pandemic-era border closures, the French brand hosted a dazzling show in the same place to unveil its menswear pre-fall 2024 collection , designed by men's creative director Pharrell Williams Models on the catwalk at the Louis Vuitton men's pre-fall 2024 fashion show at the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. Photo: Jonathan Wong While the brand would not comment on its plans for the prime retail space, according to industry sources, the K11 Musea store will have a similar format to that of the Shanghai boutique that opened in June. Named The Louis and located in the HKRI Taikoo Hui mall, that store takes the concept of experiential retail to the next level. The three-floor structure, which has been trending on Chinese social media and has already become a destination in its own right, features retail areas, an exhibition space and a restaurant. Named The Louis, Louis Vuitton's new ship-shaped space in Shanghai has already become a popular destination. Photo: Handout Louis Vuitton is part of the biggest luxury group in the world, LVMH, which has not been immune to the current crisis facing the luxury industry . But while high net worth individuals may be reassessing their luxury purchases, they haven't stopped splurging on experiences such as luxury trips, five-star hotel stays and fine dining. Louis Vuitton has been actively investing in stores that have a strong lifestyle element. For instance, its recently opened boutique in Milan, housed in a late Neoclassical palazzo on the prestigious Via Montenapoleone, debuted fine dining concepts in partnership with the famous Da Vittorio restaurant group.

Football fever grips Hong Kong as Cristiano Ronaldo museum officially opens
Dozens waited in line for hours before the opening of the Hong Kong CR7 Life Museum, an exhibition celebrating football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo's life, featuring prized items such as one of his five Ballon d'Or awards. Organisers announced on Monday that Ronaldo would be visiting Hong Kong 'very soon' for the newly opened museum, but they remained tight-lipped about a specific date for his arrival. On the exhibit's opening day, the Post observed about 50 people lining up at the K11 Musea sixth floor venue at 11.30am, 90 minutes before doors opened at 1pm. Among the crowd was Johan Bihis, a tourist from the Philippines, who shared that she had specifically travelled to Hong Kong for the museum. She began queuing at 9.30am, unaware that the venue would not open to the public until 1pm on its first day, rather than the usual 10am opening time for subsequent days. 'I booked a flight as soon as I saw on social media the museum was coming to Hong Kong,' said Bihis, who described herself as a level 'nine' fan of Ronaldo's 'on a scale of one to 10'. 'I think this is going to get me closer to him, right? So I don't need to fly all the way to Portugal to see the museum.
