Soul Art

Hong Kong


This Běijīng import brings traditional Chinese culture to life in the form of handmade polymer clay and cloth figurines – and it's actually a lot cooler and more beautiful than it sounds. The dainty baskets of rainbow-coloured dumplings and cloth tigers hand-stitched and then hand-painted with peonies are both adorable – as is the shop's fluffy ginger cat, Tiger.
