"Preserving Craftsmanship, Inheriting Skills, Reviving Small Shops"
Many old shops and traditional crafts are forced to close due to urban redevelopment, rapid economic transformation, and high rental costs, leading to the loss of community economies and historical heritage. RESTORE establishes social enterprise physical stores to bring small shops back to the community. The closure of a storefront does not signify the end of an old shop.
- Background of the Old Shop -
Shou Tao Brand
"Old Truth Company · Chu Yi Sheng", a long-established store in Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong
The store offered a wide variety of goods. In its early days, it sold wooden combs for hair buns, hairpins, and homemade hair oil, primarily catering to women. It could be considered an antique cosmetics shop. Later, it also began selling longevity peaches for offerings, silver ornaments, and sacrificial items commonly used by the Shui ethnic group.
"Gold Plating" — Purple Copper Gilded Technology
This technique was invented by "Chu Yi Sheng" to produce inexpensive yet seemingly luxurious gold-plated jewelry, which was very popular at the time. Since then, "Chu Yi Sheng" became synonymous with imitation gold jewelry.
Although considered imitation gold, it contained 1% real gold. The "Old Truth Company," under its name, sold Chu Yi Sheng's products without falsely claiming they were solid gold.
