Face masks have become a part of daily attire and we think you should know the best places to shop for face masks in Hong Kong.
We don’t need to mention how much the pandemic has changed our lives. From staying in quarantine, to losing loved ones from afar, to heightened racism in recent times, life as we know it will never be the same. Face masks have in no doubt become part of the new normal – how often did you rush back inside the house because you forgot your mask (like you’re Batman or something)? We have compiled the ultimate list of places to shop for face coverings and face masks in Hong Kong, ranging from standard to stylish.
The responsible and reusable masks
1. Enro
Marrying safety and day-long comfort, Enro masks have the highest-grade PM0.1 filtration which is equivalent to Level 2 surgical masks. The high quality filtration is well-maintained even after 100 washes! They come in six sizes – ranging from kids to adults – for the best fit possible so you won’t need to tie knots to make the masks fit your face.
These eco-friendly masks come in bold and vivid designs with over 70 colours and prints to match any outfit, mood, and style. Be it the solid colours, floral patterns, or camo, Enro perfectly balances chic style with comfort, all the while maintaining the safety standard.
Shop Enro online and enjoy free shipping to Hong Kong for orders of 3 masks or more.
2. Determinant
Though they predominantly sell men’s clothes, we think Determinant’s DET3 face masks deserve a shoutout. They sell subtle and classy colours – we’re saying burgundy, navy blue, and black, with adjustable straps (very thoughtful and useful). Selling two masks for $65, each mask can be washed and reused for up to 30 times. We’ve tried and tested these – they’re breathable and fit like a glove.

3. Bamboa Home
We need to talk about two things – the material and the colours of these face masks. Produced using 100% organic bamboo fibres in three layers, the masks are breathable, cooling, durable, and biodegradable. The colours come in pastel pink, mint, sky blue, white, and darker tones. Adult masks cost $130 while kids’ ones cost $110.

4. Margareth Handmade
These fabric masks are made with love and it’s evident in the quality. The designs are unique and add a pop of colour to your everyday look. Adult masks cost $50 and the kids’ ones cost $45, and there are four different sizes for you to choose from. Coming alongside a mask pouch, the face masks can be washed and reused as long as the fabric is not damaged. We’ve tried and tested Margareth Handmade and we absolutely love their products!

6. feat.Fashion
One of the things that might go through your mind when buying face masks in Hong Kong is how much more waste and materials are being created not only with disposable masks, but also with reusable ones. This is something that feat.Fashion takes into consideration with their eco-friendly masks that are fashionable, breathable, and sustainable. Each mask comes with a washing bag, so that they can be popped right into your washing machine. The masks also come with an adjustable stopper for the straps so that one size can truly fit all.

Hong Kong-based MaskOn is one of our absolute favourite brands when it comes to buying face masks, as its Mood Series features a spectrum of understated colours.

Final note: If you’re going for a reusable face mask, be sure to rinse thoroughly with warm tap water and wash using laundry detergent. Alternatively, you can soak your mask in bleach solution (make sure you dilute it before use) for about five minutes and then rinse using cold water.
