The Shopper: Kotur
When Sogo Tsim Sha Tsui opened its doors a few weeks ago we expected to find the usual roster of designer brands. Instead we discovered the first retail boutique for home-grown accessories brand Kotur, which has fast become a red carpet favourite with celebrities including Kerry Washington, Emma Roberts, Scarlett Johansson and Blake Lively.
The 350 sq ft jewel box is decked out in the brand's signature colours of aubergine and gold and is definitely in keeping with its glamorous roots. Founder Fiona Kotur Marin was very much involved in the store's design and as an antique and art collector chose an eclectic assortment of furniture and other curiosities, including a vintage palm tree lamp and pieces from Maison Jansen, Curtis Jeré and Mastercraft. She also enlisted her mother, Sheila Camera Kotur, a renowned designer and artist, to design the screens, shelving and illustrations on the walls (you may recognise them from Kotur's website and packaging).
