Goods of Desire (G.O.D.)
For the quintessential Hong Kong products that remind you of the city’s distinct east-meets-west cultural mix, G.O.D. is the city’s sardonic lifestyle brand for fresh fashion, home décor, lifestyle, and gift designs inspired by the very craziness that occupies Hong Kong. City inside jokes, sardonic takes on expatry, and parodies on Cantonese culture can be seen on clothing and homeware, using age-old traditions to stylise and create products memorable in our homes and on our bodies. Founded in 1996, it has sustained a long life due to its pull with locals and expats to fill their homes with a quintessential take on Hong Kong.
