Leung Chun Woon Kee

TIME : 2016/2/17 11:53:10

Leung Chun Woon Kee (1904) is one of last remaining burial garment producers in Hong Kong. White, black, brown or blue are preferred colours for the clothing, never red. The Chinese believe only those who want revenge on the living depart in red. Sleeves cover the hands completely – exposed hands make beggars of one’s descendants. The outfits also come without pockets to prevent the dead from taking money or luck from his family. Photos are not allowed in the shop.
