Looks like not many people know or have bought from HK before. As this brand is popular but not as prestige as a BV per se, guess for this forum most would have bought from either Korea or Singapore. Still waiting for my answer though.

well if can, best to buy from Korea cause the brand now originates from there. between HK and SG, it could be almost the same based, but one might have slightly more savings depending on ex-rate gains.

the damn MCM bag is really fuggin solid. no regrets.
mine is the medium one. laptop + pencil case + sch notes in, still lotsa space left.
love the laptop sleeve compartment.
large is quite big you know? unless you really have loads of stuffs to put inside your bag, i would think the medium one would do well enough.
ya man, don't wait already, hoot. this **** is worth the money.

I'm back from HK! Just a bit of update for the MCM stores in Hong Kong. The MCM flagship boutique at Central (Entertainment Building) is the biggest there. They are one of the largest MCM stores in the world but yet seem to lack on stocks. I was looking for the very basic of Stark backpack which they all say was last season and they do not have stock. Instead, was shown a newer version of the Stark in cognac colour, the design with the studs forming a "M" on the face of the backpack. Not my cup of tea. Staff do attend to you like asking for prices but additional questions on whether I could find the very basic version of Stark went awry when the staff (a guy) almost, just almost, replied with a "couldn't be bothered" expression.

On another day while heading to Macau I visited the MCM boutique at HarbourCity . It seemed the store was having a sale on various products. Here, the store seem less grand as it's counterpart at Entertainment Building. However, the MCM vibe is still not lost so don't fret people. I managed to try on two backpacks, one in medium and the other in large to see if it fits and the staff (her name is Zoe Lo) was very attentive and pleasant to me. Once again, was told MCM does no longer have the basic Stark backpack (6 studs/diamonds) in the whole of Hong Kong.

In the end, I got back from Macau to Kowloon past 11pm and the store was closed. They close at 10pm FYI. I decided not to visit the store anymore as my flight back to Singapore was in the early afternoon the following day. On that very night I placed my order directly with MCM's online store on Qoo10 and the backpack is currently on its way.

For those who are bent on getting your wants from MCM Hong Kong I recommend going to the boutique at Harbour City but if you really want to look at all the glamour and glitz of MCM, visit the store that is in Entertainment Building. Hong Kong aside, if you really want something you cannot get in store (be it Changi Airport terminal 2 or the country you're in besides Seoul, Korea), get it from Qoo10. Make sure the reviews are more than enough to convince you and check the authenticity of the seller through its seller ratings. There are currently only TWO reliable sellers on Qoo10, one is called Goniglobal and the other is MCM themselves. Both have good ratings with great feedback on delivery time.

both MCM & Goniglobal will give free gifts, cardholder, pencils, what nots, etc. but in limited qty/mth, so if you wanna know if there're still free gifts available for the mth before making the purchase, just drop them a message, and they'll let you know.

nah. i didn't got any shiat. i purchased at month-end. didn't wanna wait for what cardholder, pencils nonsense.

Apologies, just got back from work. (no I'm not in sales :D)
As a matter of fact, the backpack actually arrived yesterday! So that means it took only a day or two from Seoul to Singapore.
As of this moment, it is lying somewhere at Singpost waiting for its deliveryman to come on time Monday morning.

I didn't send them anything about the GST. You can probably send a message to them to ask about any additional charges?
