A BAPE flagship store has opened at 1881 Heritage in Tsim Sha Tsui, marking the brand’s first Hong Kong location with an all-white interior.
The store features a minimalist design contrasted with BAPE’s visual elements, including a curved LED screen inspired by Hong Kong neon signage, a fiberglass SHARK SEIJIN sculpture, colour-changing ceiling lighting, and glass partitions with LINE CAMO patterns.
Alongside the store opening, BAPE released Drop 3 of its FW25 “Performance All Weather” collection, the final chapter of a project led by creative director Kazuki Kuraishi. The launch was accompanied by a snowboarding showcase at Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort in Hokkaido, featuring professional riders and a collaborative snowboard deck developed with SIMS.
The 1881 Heritage store also offers two location-exclusive T-shirts inspired by Hong Kong. The Black APE HEAD Tee features a night skyline within the signature APE HEAD design, while the White BABY MILO Tee highlights local landmarks including the ferry, clock tower, and Tai Kwun.
In addition, BAPE has partnered with Tokyo pancake brand FLIPPER’S to open BAPE CAFE!?® within the same site. The café combines BAPE design elements with FLIPPER’S interior style and serves a menu including soufflé pancakes, pasta, curry rice, desserts, and themed drinks.
BAPE STORE and BAPE CAFE!? are located at Shop G08a & G08b, Street Level, 1881 Heritage, 2A Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. Opening hours run from 11:00 to 21:00 on weekdays and until 22:00 on weekends and public holidays.
The year-end period also brings plenty of shopping opportunities across Hong Kong, with seasonal pop-up stores including Stranger Things at K11 MUSEA, K-Pop Demon Hunters, BLACKPINK concepts, and a Sanrio flagship store in Central adding to the festive retail lineup.
