The exhibition features over 240 objects that explore the ultimate accessory’s function, status, and craftsmanship. The inaugural Asian tour will travel to five of Swire Properties’ retail centres spanning five cities in 2022 and 2023, with the first stop at Beijing’s Taikoo Li Sanlitun, China, opening on 28 April 2022.
