About Us | Lifestyle International Holdings Limited

OUR BRAND

Lifestyle International Holdings Limited (together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) welcomes you! As a premier retail operator based in Hong Kong, we're devoted to offering you an exceptional shopping experience. Our flagship SOGO department store in Causeway Bay exemplifies our "one-stop shopping" concept, where an extensive range of offerings from everyday essentials to luxury items awaits. We are also your partner in self-care, with services like beauty salons under the same roof to pamper you. We take pride in creating a shopping environment where comfort meets inspiration.

As we navigate the dynamic retail landscape, we are constantly evolving to meet your needs. We strive to foster closer bonds with our valued customers and stay ahead of market trends. Leveraging our upgraded omni-channel system, we provide a seamless and compelling shopping experience with attentive customer care.

We're excited about the future, especially with our expansion into Kowloon East through the Kai Tak Project. Launched in 2017, this future-forward project will unveil a new SOGO department store in the Twin Towers by 2024, tentatively. Envisioned as a vibrant complex of retail, entertainment, dining, and lifestyle services, this new landmark in Kowloon East is set to further reinforce our leadership in Hong Kong's retail market.

As part of our growth strategy, we ventured into the international market in November 2020 by acquiring a coveted commercial property in St. James’s, London. This strategic acquisition not only diversifies and enhances our asset portfolio but also secures a steady stream of rental income.

We inspire more than shopping - we inspire a lifestyle.
