Hong Kong’s classic tourist photo
opportunity involves a trip to
Kowloon, where you can capture
your travelling companions
against the panorama of Hong
Kong Island. Sadly, the view of late
is often obscured by the severe
hazes we experience, thanks to
trapped pollution, much of which
wafts in from the factories and
power stations of neighbouring
Guangdong province. The
solution? Tourists have started to
pose in front of a fake backdrop –
complete with dazzling blue sky.

We all have those well-loved items of clothing that aren’t being worn any more, but
still carry too many memories to toss or give away. That scarf you were wearing when
you met the love of your life; the outfit your baby came home from hospital in; the
band t-shirt that followed you all the way through university – now they just live in the
bottom of a drawer.
La Polka
to the rescue! They’ll help you up-cycle those items into
beautiful, one-of-a-kind items, like blankets, cushions, bags and more. Using fresh
twists on traditional techniques – saving a bit of that pocket, the button of that shirt,
the knee of those trousers – the stories of your past are woven into one single heirloom
piece you can keep for ever. Visit
to find out more.
