Snuggle and Stitch: Childhood Textiles of Hong Kong

In 1950s Hong Kong, nearly one in every two people you’d meet was a teenager or child – swaddled in a baby sling, dressed in home-sewn clothes, or clutching a toy worn from love. While lacking the convenience of today’s screen-based world, children grew up surrounded by textiles, textures and playful peers just as creative. _Snuggle and Stitch_ brings together local childhood textiles from the 1930s to the 2020s, featuring heirloom garments, ready-made fashion, mass-produced toys, artisanal dolls and hands-on activities. It invites you to revisit fading social values and to nurture human connection, resourceful thinking and care for the materials we pass on.
