Hong Kong Kiu Kai Public Light Bus Sign [Hong Kong Series] Medium Sign Keychain

"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 culture. REstore establishes physical social enterprise stores to bring small shops back to the community; the closure of a storefront does not mean the end of an old shop. - Background of the Old Shop - Jordan Old Shop - Master Mak Kam-sang of Kiu Kai Advertising The plastic signs on the windshields of public light buses (red minibuses) display information such as destinations and intermediate stops. In the past, these were all handwritten on plastic plates, with even fares sometimes marked in "flower numerals." Master Mak Kam-sang of the Jordan old shop "Kiu Kai Advertising Company" has been involved in advertising design since he was 15. He opened his shop in the 1980s to produce public light bus signs and is now one of the last remaining masters of handwritten public light bus signs in the city. The master is happy to incorporate new elements into traditional products, designing distinctive items such as public light bus sign keychains and folders. He also collaborates with REstore to host "Public Light Bus Sign Writing Workshops," allowing participants to unleash their creativity and write their own exclusive signs, and to interact with the master, gaining insight into this industry that has witnessed Hong Kong's historical changes. - About the Craftsmanship - Meticulous Craftsmanship Every step, from design sketching and handwriting to polishing, is meticulously crafted with great care.
