Leo Wong | Luk Pei Seung: I was very intrigued by the fact that whenever Mr. Chan talked about fabric in his shop, he unknowingly touched the fabric back and forth with his thumb. It was like he was having a conversation with it. He could tell its origin, brandname, thread count and history effortlessly. Whereas most shops nowadays really make an effort informing customers the fabric or maybe they do not know much about it.
His gesture triggered me to contemplate the meaning of fabric or clothes. Are they only products which make people look fashionable or keep them warm?
黄振钦 | 陆皮箱:
当陈先生说起布料时，他一个不自觉的动作一直令我很感兴趣，拿起布料后用他的母指轻轻来回磨擦，如像和它对话般，之后便能说出布料的由来，那个品牌、用了多少针、和一些有关它的历史。这和现今其它从事布料买卖的店家很不一样，他们只管买卖，从不多说明，可能亦不了解自已手上的布料，它们只是一件死物、货品，用作买卖，并没有太大的意义。
但他这个举动，不禁令我思考布料、衣服对我们的意思，它们只是一件产品，让我更时尚或功能性上为我保暖呢？
