This is Foxglove. It’s a classy umbrella boutique in Hong Kong, that sells silver-handled English “brollies” but it has a big secret. Foxglove caters to the fantasy of being a British spy.
There is one umbrella’s silver handle that will open the door to the posh, luxury world of the gentleman spy.
The dining room and bar look like a private jet.
The hallway looks like a cruise ship.
Then, there’s a room that looks like a high-speed train car.
There’s one other hidden entrance that can only be accessed by guests who know to place their hand on a floral painting at the end of a corridor until it glows. This signals the undercover bartender to open the door where a classic library awaits, a hidden sanctuary of leather club chairs, marble counters and books all around.
Pretty swanky, huh?
Then, when you’re ready to go, take the elevator back down to the umbrella shop.
That is exquisite…
HOW did I not know about this? Grrr…I could have used it in a book!
wait so did Kingsman just film here or…?
A) that SECRET ELEVATOR TO UMBRELLA SHOP sign has a major 60s Batman vibe, as if this place was the Penguin’s lair (he did love a good umbrella-themed caper)
B) Julian Bashir wants to go there NOW
