Artistic Hong Kong

SPARKLE COLLECTION / SPARKLE by KAREN CHAN collaborates with the Hong Kong Museum of Art to draw inspiration from the museum’s priceless “Fuyun Xuan Collection” of exquisite snuff bottles donated by Mr. Christophen Sin & Mrs. Josephine Sin. Though diminutive in size, antique snuff bottles are a symphony of ultimate craftsmanship, uniting painting, jade carving, glasswork, ceramics and lacquerware into miniature masterpieces. More than objets d’art, snuff bottles are vessels of blessings and aesthetic refinement, whispering aspirations of longevity, prosperity, achievement, and happiness.

This “Artistic Hong Kong" Collection reimagines the rich symbolism and meticulous artistry of antique snuff bottles through a contemporary lens. With a palette of refined hues and intricate motifs, these SPARKLE by KAREN CHAN x HKMoA fabric designs transcend time and tradition, weaving together HKMoA’s priceless snuff bottles with fashion flair, fusing past and present with East-meets West aesthetics. The result is a visual ode to Hong Kong, the metropolis where cultures converge, and cultural heritage dances with modernity.
