On April 27, CHOW TAI FOOK Jewelry Group Limited announced the launch of "CHOW TAI FOOK Home," marking a strategic expansion beyond its core jewelry business. This initiative coincides with the grand opening ceremony in mid-May for the brand's first global flagship store, which initially opened in February on Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui.
Sophia Cheng, Vice Chairman of CHOW TAI FOOK Jewelry Group, stated: "The inauguration of our first global flagship store, coupled with the official introduction of CHOW TAI FOOK Home, represents a pivotal milestone in our brand's transformation journey. For nearly a century, CHOW TAI FOOK Jewelry has been committed to perpetuating the legacy of exquisite Chinese craftsmanship. CHOW TAI FOOK Home extends our profound cultural heritage into the daily lives of our customers. By venturing into the home living sector, we are enriching the CHOW TAI FOOK brand essence for consumers while further solidifying our position in the international luxury market."
The introduction of the new "CHOW TAI FOOK Home" brand signifies a major strategic move by the Group to diversify its product categories. For this launch, the Group collaborated with the prestigious French porcelain brand Bernardaud to create the "CHOW TAI FOOK Home" tableware collections—"Chuan Fu" (Transmitting Blessings) and "Ginkgo." These series blend world-class artisanal traditions with contemporary design, further integrating the brand into customers' everyday experiences.
The global flagship store is located on Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, a premier shopping and tourist destination in Hong Kong. It officially opened in February. The store concept revolves around "The House of CHOW TAI FOOK," using the brand's history and craftsmanship heritage as the foundation for its spatial design and narrative. A unique feature is the exclusive "Brand Heritage Gallery," which showcases the nearly 100-year evolution of CHOW TAI FOOK Jewelry since its founding in 1929.
A prominent landmark at the flagship store is a gilded ginkgo tree standing at the main entrance. The tree measures 2.1 meters in height and 2.3 meters in width, adorned with approximately 3,500 pure gold leaves. Completed in 2016, this artifact weighs around 40 kilograms and required nearly 60,000 hours of meticulous work by about 50 of the Group's master craftsmen.
Starting from the Brand Heritage Gallery at the entrance, the flagship store is organized into distinct zones. These areas display several classic product collections, such as Chuan Fu, Chuan Xi, CHOW TAI FOOK Palace Museum, and Heritage, tailored to customer preferences and needs to enhance the shopping experience. At the heart of the store is an interactive area called "Charm Your Path," introduced for the first time in a Hong Kong location. Here, customers can create personalized charm bracelets by combining insights from the MBTI personality assessment with zodiac signs, constellation meanings, bespoke blessings, and individual style preferences.
The flagship store also features an extensive range of high jewelry collections, multiple series from HEARTS ON FIRE, along with dedicated sections for wedding services and VIP clients.
