Whether you are hunting for something spooky or funny, finding a right place to shop for Halloween costumes in Hong Kong is not really difficult! In this article, we’ve sourced the top places where you can shop for your Halloween costumes. Read on to discover where to shop for your next Halloween look!
1. Fun e Costume
Located in the industrial centre of Lai Chi Kok, Fun e Costume offers a wide selection of party costumes for all ages, genders and sizes. A variety of themes are available, from classic horror (ghosts, vampires), pop culture icons (characters from Marvel), fantasy (fairies, princesses), humorous costumes (food-themed and animal-themed) to dark fantasy (witches, skeletons). What makes Fun e Costume unique is its commitment to originality and quality—every costume set is licensed and original.
“Our products are all licensed and original from the brands, and they are more durable, with higher quality than others,” said Sadie Yiu, the shop manager of Fun e Costume.
Most costume sets have essential accessories, like wings and magic wands, to complete the outfits fully. However, singular pieces of accessories, tattoo stickers, masks, wigs and makeup products, are also available.
What makes Halloween stand out from other days is it provides a perfect opportunity for people to spend time together and celebrate with friends.
“The most interesting part of Halloween to me is that I can coordinate the costume with friends. We once dressed up as the Avengers when the last sequel premiered,” said Aidan Wong, a 21-year-old local.
Fun e Costume caters to this preference by offering various group costumes, like Crayola sets.
For added convenience, online ordering and delivery services are also available. The average price range is HKD 200 for adults and HKD 100-200 for children, according to Yiu.

2. Pottinger Street
For those looking for a quick shopping experience, Pottinger Street is an ideal choice. Located in the heart of the city’s Central Business District, Pottinger Street is a highly accessible and convenient spot for Halloween costume shopping—especially for last-minute shoppers. Close to Lan Kwai Fong, one of the most famous places to celebrate Halloween in the city, this historic street is an ideal choice for those in need of a quick transformation! You’ll find quirky outfits with both Western themes (like witches) and Chinese themes (like qipaos).
A variety of costumes and accessories are available, from freaky masks and wigs to magic wands. If you’re feeling too lazy to fully dress up, Pottinger Street also offers simple options.
“Sometimes I just prefer to wear something simple and go with a typical outfit. In this case, I’ll buy some small accessories like hair clips or headbands at Pottinger Street,” said Catherine Chan, a 20-year-old local student.
Though it might not be as cheap as online shops like Taobao, Pottinger Street is still considered one of the most budget-friendly options in the city. Since the vendors along the street offer similar (or even identical) products, you can easily compare prices and score some great bargains.
“If you don’t want to wait for online delivery, Pottinger Street is almost the most affordable place,” added Chan.
As a bonus, one of the most well-known shops for party costumes —Partyland Central— is located right next to Pottinger Street, adding to the variety of your Halloween choices.

3. Don Don Donki
With 13 branches spread across Hong Kong, Don Don Donki is also a highly convenient place for Halloween costume shopping. If you miss the chance to buy the costume during the daytime – don’t worry – Causeway Bay and Tsim Sha Tsui branches are open 24 hours, and you’ll never be too late to hunt for your costume. Just like the above two spots, the shops offer full costume sets with quirky headbands, hats and masks, which are suitable for all ages.
While the variety may not be as extensive as in other places, Don Don Donki can bring you impressive costumes with Japanese-inspired styles-such as traditional kimonos, maids, Japanese school uniforms, and bunny girls- making it a perfectly ideal option for those who love Japanese culture.
“I picked the maid costume for Halloween from Don Don Donki last year since I am a fan of Japanese culture. The design from Donki fit what I expected from the costume the most,” said Wong.

For those looking for a budget-friendly or customizable option, Taobao is definitely the perfect choice! As one of the largest online shopping platforms in the world, Taobao offers a multitude of options at incredibly affordable prices. Whether you’re searching for scary, sexy, or funny styles, you’ll easily find what you need.
“There are lots of promotional offers on Taobao, especially around Halloween, with seasonal discounts available,” said Cherry Fung, a 21-year-old local who has purchased her Halloween costumes from Taobao twice.
Taobao provides an ideal solution for those who cannot find what they want in local shops. Many sellers on the platform also offer customization services, allowing you to create an exclusive design for yourself by choosing specific colors and styles, so you can wear a unique costume during the festival!
“I don’t want to wear the same Halloween costume as others. To play it safe, I would definitely like to customize my own if I have time,” said Fung.
The highly accessible and convenient features of Taobao mean that your products can be delivered right to your home. However, remember to order in advance to avoid delays during peak season, and to check the comments before you purchase to ensure you get the best quality items!
