AtomSuper Mario storefront, Nintendo clothes Hong Kong kids
Bossini, a Hong Kong clothing chain, teamed up with Nintendo for a Super Mario blitz. All of their stores in Causeway Bay have pretty elaborate displays too. Warp pipes, floating question mark blocks and lots of cardboard cutouts of Nintendo’s favorite plumber greet customers.
While the displays are eye catching, the clothes are so-so. Most of them are bland designs with Mario leaping in the center of the shirt or a plain mushroom. Almost all the artwork seems to come from New Super Mario Brothers, including a shirt wide print of the box art.
On the plus side these shirts were cheap. Most of them were under $10 US, but many of them were only in kid’s sizes.

lol, I think Bossini was quite an economic brand, at least back then not sure about now. The Mario displays are nice.
Sounds like you’re having a blast in HK right now, specifically at Causeway Bay, is there where you’re staying? I have a friend who’s going there on business trip this week, at some extremely fancy hotels though..

@Aoshi00 - Yeah I’m in HK, but not Causeway Bay. It just happens there are lots of things related to games around there and stuff. I mean Hong Kong is a small place so things tend to congregate around Causeway Bay, Mong Kok and other shopping areas.

@Spence - Yeah, that’s true HK is not that big, will be sure to visit Causeway Bay if I ever get a chance to travel to HK.

Spencer,
How long are you in HK? I’ve noticed that a lot of your recent posts are about HK. Are you trying any of the street food? I wanted to try stinky tofu, but never got a chance.
