Hong Kong is a city that never switches off.
There’s an energy here, a kinetic dance of neon lights, clinking trams, and creative minds that never seem to rest. It’s precisely this restless spirit that makes Hong Kong such fertile ground for innovation, and the local scene has given rise to gadget brands that have made a name for themselves on the international stage.
As someone who finds beauty in the everyday and is obsessed with both style and substance, I’ve always been drawn to brands that fuse urban aesthetics with practical genius. So, for my fellow gadget-lovers and design aficionados, here’s my personal edit of the best tech accessory brands from Hong Kong—the ones that have transformed my daily routine and, dare I say, added a hint of joy every time I reach for my devices.
These brands aren’t just making gadgets—they’re reimagining how we interact with our digital lives, infusing every day with a little more style, a little more joy, and a lot more practicality. Here’s to more adventures—phone in hand, style intact.
Momax: Sleek Utility for the Modern Explorer
If you’ve ever found yourself untangling a cable at the bottom of your bag or cursing a dying phone battery mid-adventure, you’ll understand my devotion to Momax. Founded in 2003, Momax has become a cult favourite not just in Hong Kong, but across Asia, for its seamless blend of sleek minimalism and sheer utility. Their aesthetic is unapologetically modern—think sharp lines, matte textures, and a monochrome palette that never tries too hard.
As an early adopter, I can vouch for their magnetic cables—they snap into place with an oddly satisfying thud, and have saved me from so many frantic moments at the airport. Their MagSafe chargers are a game-changer for iPhone users, delivering fast, wireless charging that feels almost futuristic (and comes in a matching orange shade for the latest iPhone 17 Pro). And if you’re the sort who travels with an entourage of gadgets, Momax’s compact GaN chargers are a must-have (I’ve used mine in hotel lobbies, Airbnb kitchens, and even a Parisian café). However, my current obsession is their Pincard tracker, Momax’s alternative to AirTags —a slim, water-resistant card that tucks effortlessly into my wallet and syncs with Apple’s Find My network, giving me peace of mind in a city that never sleeps. I once misplaced my bag on a group trip, and the tracker led me straight to it—Hong Kong chaos, conquered.
Momax is everywhere in Hong Kong, from flagship stores to tech hubs like Fortress and Broadway, and their international shipping makes them accessible worldwide. Its range may seem a tad pricier than what you would expect for functional products in Asia, but they are designed to be a step ahead of what you think you’ll need and are much more reliable than any cheap gadgets you may find in local computer malls.
Topologie: Urban Adventure, Reimagined
There’s something poetic about Topologie’s origin story. Inspired by rock climbing and the notion of “exploring your urban terrain,” Topologie is a love letter to both adventure and design. The brand’s signature look is instantly recognisable: bold, climbing-inspired rope straps paired with minimalist accessories in earthy hues and industrial finishes. It’s the sort of aesthetic that looks just as at home in Sheung Wan’s coffee shops as it does on a hiking trail in Sai Kung.
I first stumbled upon Topologie’s rope straps while searching for a hands-free solution for my phone—something sturdy, yet undeniably chic. The tactile feel and vibrant colours are a tactile joy, and clipping one of their straps on feels like a tiny badge of adventure, even on the most ordinary commute. Their collaboration with A.P.C. has only cemented Topologie’s status among style insiders, blending Parisian cool with Hong Kong grit.
What makes Topologie irresistible is its global appeal: find them in concept stores from Tokyo to London, yet their roots—and soul—remain firmly in Hong Kong. If you crave accessories that channel wanderlust and city spirit, this brand could be your next obsession.
Native Union: Everyday Essentials, Elevated
Native Union is what happened when two French expats in Hong Kong decided that tech accessories don’t have to be boring. Founded in 2009, the brand has become synonymous with understated luxury—characterised by muted tones, tactile finishes, and a quiet confidence. Their products are refreshingly grown-up, a far cry from the disposable cables and plasticky cases of the past, and each piece is designed to withstand the chaos of travel.
My introduction to Native Union was their iconic anchor cable—a beautiful, weighted cable that refuses to slide off my desk (no more fishing for cords at midnight). Their tech organisers are another favourite, with thoughtfully designed compartments that keep my digital life blissfully untangled. And for aviation geeks, their Cathay Pacific collaboration is a love letter to wanderers everywhere: travel-ready accessories with a touch of the airline’s signature green.
Native Union is a true global citizen, most commonly found in Kapok but with stockists in over 60 countries and a devoted following in both Hong Kong and abroad. When friends ask me for a gift idea that’s equal parts beautiful and useful, Native Union is always at the top of my list for its “Apple Store” vibes—premium, dependable, and a little bit addictive.
CASETiFY: Where Self-Expression Meets Tech Protection
No roundup of Hong Kong tech accessory brands would be complete without mentioning CASETiFY. Founded in 2011, CASETiFY has redefined what a phone case can be—transforming it from a boring necessity to a canvas for self-expression. Their style is playful, bold, and endlessly customisable, with limited-edition drops and artist collaborations that keep everyone coming back for more.
My current favourite is the silicone phone case. Not only does it offer military-grade protection (trust me, I’ve dropped my phone more times than I’d like to admit), but the sculptural design is downright mesmerising. Their straps and phone charms let you personalise your tech in ways that feel refreshingly original—my crossbody strap gets no fewer than three compliments a week, and the matching grip stand is a joy to fidget with during endless Zoom calls.
CASETiFY has exploded globally, with flagship stores in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, and even London. Their collaborations with everyone from Doraemon to Netflix and the London Underground are legendary, and the brand’s eco-commitment—think recycled materials and a phone case recycling program—makes loving them feel like a small act of good.
