On the other side of Sneaker Street in the Mong Kok district of Hong Kong is Ladies’ Market, which is my favorite place to go to buy $3 punkrock belts, insect taxidermy, and travel-sized alarm clocks. Stuff. There’s a lot of it. There are also plenty of street performers.

Whatever you’re looking for, Ladies Market’s got it. Oh, one thing. It might not be .. you know, “real.”

So, it’s one thing to walk streetside and pick through the bootlegs, but it’s all about the secret stockrooms upstairs in the dingy buildings that run along the back. A password and the knowing nod can take you into the down-low bootleg stash rooms that are swimming with fake grade-AA designer labels, far from the eyes of any government authority. Spycam steez:
