    Palm Angels flagship opened in Causeway Bay

    Palm Angels Hong Kong has opened its first flagship store, selecting a site in Patterson Street, Causeway Bay. The interior of the store was designed by Palm Angels founder and creative director, Italian Francesco Ragazzi, in partnership with Studio April. From the outside, the store draws the attention of passersby with its minimalist facade, bright LED signage and white lacquered glass panels.

    The interior design was inspired by a white cube gallery and clothing is displayed throughout the store more like pieces of art. The floors are made from polished marble and steel furniture stands out against white walls.

    The Palm Hong Kong flagship also features paintings and neon artwork created by Canadian artist Thrush Holmes.

    In June, Palm Angels Hong Kong opened a pop-up store in partnership with global fashion group HBX to introduce the exclusive Palm Island capsule collection and gauge interest in the brand among Hongkongers.
